Then you all tell me how many sewing machines you have and I only have two. But, lo and behold, there is one at a yard sale. A Janome no less. And because I am falling behind you all I just have to buy it.
So please be careful what you tell me next.....

I have been considering a design wall, but when I look around I don't even have a 2 x 3 foot space available. So I use either my bed or my sofa with a quilt thrown over it. My one quilt has a cream backing which works well.

who posted that whole pile of material? not me... mine was in bags, or on bolts straight from the shop. so i just put it on boards. i was not about to try and wash and iron it all before i put it on boards. i would never have had the time, patience or energy to do that. i used politcal sign boards. i know cost a little more than other things.but not as expens. as others. but i could manage that.
