Thank you all so very much! In all honesty i pieced this one before my daughter was born and i only had my son to care for. She is a great sleeper and most days naps in the afternoon during my son's nap so that is my mommy time for coffee and a little sewing time. And we have a small apartment that is easy to maintain housework in! I need to start on the next one and sew some labels for these two but haven't gotten up my ambitions to get started lol! Thank you all for your lovely words of encouragement; it is very appreciated!

He will repair the machines, and go out of his way for you. His prices are insanely low..
The mr vac mrs sew? The corner of sunrise and straight path? I was wondering about that place! I like the joann's in babylon; they just redid that location too now as well as a new one in deer park. Did you get hit bad with Sandy then?? My husband's aunt lives in the rockaways and did i think. Thanks for the repair shop info!! Always good to know a trustworthy fixit shop!

The repair shop is he one you mentioned, but I don't think there is a name to it. One of my offices in Rockaway was without electric, and phone for about a month, but we were able to function in our Valley Stream office after a week. I lucked out at home, and had electric after 24 hours. I'm in a one bedroom apt, and had my brother, his wife, two college kids, my mother, and his 85lb doodle for about a month.. We were all fine, as Cablevision had a guy with a generator at our corner 24/7.. He kept the generator going, and we had t.v, internet, and phone.. Think I would've lost my mind otherwise.

Really cute!!! I would try fmq on your machine next time. Great workout for your biceps and triceps and not as tough on the fingertip pads!!! :)

Very pretty. I just love your hand quilting. Really carries the theme through to the end. Pretty batiks.
