I also dream of quilting sometimes problem solving comes by way of my dreams. I have often waked up and grabbed a pen and pad to write down some thought or to sketch a design that i will one day use in a quilt. I also sometimes write a bit of poetry to go with certain projects. I really like the dreams when I am getting huge loads of fabrics an books! TeeHee

I had misplaced my Manuel for my machine. Well I found it today and was trying to find out how to drop my feed dogs. Well I found out that can't drop them but I can do embroirdery on my sewing machine. I can't wait to try it.

You are an addict! Ha! Ha! Sounds like its time to save up for one-I must say it was one of the best purchases I ever made.

I've had a recurring dream. I dream constantly that I am searching my deceased grandmother's house for a quilt that we made together.

Background that would be helpful:
when I graduated from HS and was accepted into college, I lived with my grandmother for two years because she lived near the college town. It was a good cost-effective option for me and my family. She was my best friend for those two years and was more of a positive inspiration to me than my parents or siblings or anything to do with my first 17 years up to that point. We did not sew together at all. (However, we wallpapered my room together; she taught me how to cook and eat nutriously; and she went for two mile walks with me EVERY evening, winter and summer so we could both keep to our fitness goals. I don't know why I keep having that dream about searching for 'our' lost quilt. There isn't a quilt to be found in reality. She passed away about seven years ago, and I hadn't started quilting then.

I know that she had a sewing machine, because when I was 10 years old and visited her for a week she made a doll outfit for my doll. But she didn't quilt.

I just had a horrible dream a couple of nights ago. I dreamt I had made a beautiful pink and white dresden plate for a friends daughter. She was having a garage sale and sold it for $40 just as I was walking up the drive. I was so angry and hurt. It seemed so real! I woke up mad at her. And then I struggled to remember if I really had made that quilt. Of course I hadn't, but it just was so vivid and painful. I hope I never go through that! Yikes!

Too many Elm Creek Quilt books! Just kidding. I think you are just mourning her loss and maybe the fact that you never got to make a quilt with her.
