GramE, glad you are ok now, hope you can relax and have fun.
don't know how you are managing with 4 dogs. We also have a spring break 4 legged visitor. He is doing pretty well but my ole gal keeps stealing her bones and toys. Fine when hubby is at home but makes me nervous when I'm alone

Whoa, girl, whoa! You are way overthinking this! I'm going to email you but hang in there. Don't quit now. Gentle hugs...smile! 
[QUOTE=GramE;7500706]Ok, I'm not sure what time this group meets but I need a therapy session NOW! I was having a nifty ole time working on a square. Now for most of the last year my sewing had been hand sewing, so me & the machine need to get reacquainted. Then I got one of those cartoon word balloons over my head filled with theses words, THEY WILL SEE THE BACKSIDE OF YOUR SQUARES!

Amazing how how often I have to tell myself to breath. I thought that was automatic?
Traveling Gramma, I thought there was only over thinking. There's another kind?
Ok ladies, 4 dogs are driving me batty. How long does spring break last? The two visiting dogs are fine, it's my own dogs who are huffy about their stuff & spaces being invaded! I'm locked in my room with G'pa in charge of dogs for now!

GramE it's ok you have a ton of time just breath drink some tea and pick out simple patterns till you get your confidence back. I swear it will be ok.
