Yep, I said the same thing to my doctor DD last night, LOL! Can't wait to get things settled in there, but have an otherwise busy weekend ahead and little time to give to the studio. Arrrgh.

The benefit of being single...when I moved recently, the master bedroom became the sewing studio. Now I just need to add the daylight bulbs for better lighting.

Hey Jan, did you and you helpers get all the quilts quilted and sent off yet? how many did you wind up with?

All 128 quilts have been sent to the group in Farah, Those that didn't make it -- too late/unfinished/wrong sizes/not masculine enough/etc. -- are being sent to the tornado victims in AL. Thank you all for your generosity!!!

I just received my new Ottlite. Assembled it this morning. I know it will help. Is it the age, being nearsighted or what that makes us need so much light?
Enjoy your new space.

Someone told me once it's age related, something about the cones not being as responsive.

Good for you! Our livingroom is huge, with great big windows. It would make a great studio, but no go here. It's down to the basement for me. Parts of that area are fantasic, though, so gotta be happy with it.
Happy sewing!
