You learn patience when there is a sick family member in the family, My Mother lived with me for 13 years while I lived in Woodscross and she was also sick often and in and out of the hospital, I sewed a lot back then , Now I sew a lot again but I now have a healthy husband , I am so Thankful for the blessings, I am finishing up a quilt for a reunion in April, My first quilt on my new 830 Bernina, I have much more room under the arm for the quilt , it has several more inches :lol:
