mhollifiel, I am sitting here in Oak Ridge, NC (by Greensboro)! Is your winter/spring home in Raleigh? Interesting. I am here for several more weeks and am missing my sewing. I brought redwork embroidery to do by hand...but not getting much done. Having fun with the grandchildren and their parents are both out of town for work. Impressed you can get anything done! I'm also liking the term "winter/spring" home.......we live in the Southwest part of the US, but maybe I can convince them that I need to stay with them during the winter/spring! I'm not joining this VQW because I'm sure I won't finish anything.......happy sewing everyone!
