Hi, been "wasting" my days looking through all the posts on the boards and boy is it time consuming!!! Lol. How do you get any sewing done?

I am from the UK but moved here just over a year ago when I married my now DH. Big change for me and quite lonely at times as all my family and friends are in the UK, but my husband makes up for that :)

Sewing has always been a passion, hand embroidery or just making clothes and things for the home. Just got a new Pfaff creative 4.0 as I had to leave my old Pfaff behind, as I did just about everything I owned. Only thing I arrived with was my cross stitching stuff as I was only supposed to be here for three months and then back home to apply for a fiance visa and wait for my house to sell. House sold while I was here and we decided..why wait?? Lol.

Decided I would like to have a go at quilting as it is something I have never done before and been amazed at the photo's on the site and the friendliness of everyone here, so thought I would finally say hello....

Welcome not only to the board--but the US as well. I owned Pfaffs for 30 years and loved them. Just traded in my 2140 for a Bernina--and now love it as well.
