Guest Linda S Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Penny - good for you for jumping in with both feet. I had such a good time playing with my machine when I first got it, but at the first sign of trouble, I just got afraid and wouldn't go near it. It took a long time for me to get back up there and start practicing again. I'm glad you have no fear!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nanbrug Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Penny I'm laughing with you this week I got so involved in a quilt I looked like something the dog brought home!!lol Was so involved DH came home from work in the afternoon and the look on his face was so funny because I didn't even get dressed. Had spilled my coffee down tshirt, hair ruffled and still no shower at 3 in the afternoon. So glad your having fun. I was slower at getting started when I got my machine but now just stitching away. Let's see some pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anne from Guam Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Thank you Penny! Now I know I'm not the only one who would jump straight out of bed and start quilting! Eat, Sleep, Sew. Shower when necessary. Enjoy your day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
