I sew during the day and rarely at night as I am too tired at night. Lately my best sewing time is from 9:30-noon. I love to go to all day sew ins too--sometimes I do more chit chatting there than sewing--LOL.

You lucky dog! This was for anglgrl--finding the vintage quilt! Still trying to figure out how this message board works.

I use a needle dome and it is similar without the knots.

A day without sewing is a waste to me. I find sewing so relaxing.

I love this! I used to knit and crochet too. My hubby is used to my addictions now too after 46 years.

I never find deals like this and also no one ever gives me quilts but this one was for me!!! lol The lady sold it to me for 4.00 no stains or rips its probably 40 yrs old. I love it.
Wow, lucky you. I've never found anything like that myself but I'm not fond of crowds so tend to avoid such places but several ladies in my chapter have found such wonderful buys. Enjoy. Can you take a digital photo and share with us? We'd all love to see your bargain. Enjoy. I'd say it was definitely meant for you.

Me too. Message boards are nice but a bit of a challenge but I'm still a bit of a newbee here too. Getting there gradually.

I sew morning noon and night and If I get tired of it I take a day or two off then its fun again.

I would if I could but my back usally tells me enough already! LOL Today I loaded a quilt on my Lizzie for quilting--prep time takes a while too.
