Bea Here, First god speed to you friend! Well as for what am I doing on LBD. My machine died a most painful death. She has been replaced buy a new machine that won't be here till Tues. :cry: So I am giong to finish getting my sew area in order. I don't want any delays when it gets here. I have 12 grandchildren all wanting there quilts. You see I am new to quilting. My first quilt was for my grandaughter on her 16th birthday. Now I have 12 more to make. I belong to Common Threads Quilters' Guild in DeRidder LA. You might get a kick out of this. Not knowing anything about quilting my firest project was a paper piecing. Boy did learn a lot.Well I have gone on for too long. Have a nice LBD. Bea
