I DID!!!! I used the sewing machine!!! I finished my March Doll Quilt! Well almost... I have to add some buttons or something...
I pillowcased it. Sewed it on the wrong side then turned it right side out... Now... tomorrow... I'll make the April doll quilt and finish the blocks I have to get out for this month.... and last month... Last month was so Busy! oy!

My step-daughter called me last week, she had gotten a sewing machine for Christmas from her fiance and due to her job, this was the first time she even had time to take it out of the box. She called because she couldn't control the speed and couldn't sew even a decent straight line! I told her to unthread the machine, use paper and sew, sew, sew. She called me again a couple days later and said she had made a pillow! I was so proud of her. She is 36 years old and had never touched a sewing machine! I think she is about to be hooked to sewing. Practice, practice, practice. That's how we all started out.

Thank you!
What machine do you have? (and yes - by all means: KEEP the fingers away from the needle!!!!!)
