I will be doing a happy dance!!! Then, if I feel up to it (since I am currently dying of this crud that is going around), I may work on putting some pieceing some blocks for the Am Beauty quilt I am working on. Right now, I am watching a college basketball game.

Been there, done that. But this is the first year that we DON'T have to do it. DH graduates from Purdue in May with his Bio-Medical Engineering Degree.

Just wondering which Janome you have as I'm considering the purchase of one.

Sounds as if everybody has plans for the day. Now let's just hope that we do what we planned!! :)

I got my Janome Memory Craft 9000 brand new about 13 years ago. Several updated machines have come out since I got mine and mine is no longer considered a machine people want to do embroidery on because it has a small field, but it sews great! It's quite heavy, about 35 lbs, so I have a Janome Jem to take to classes. The Bernina is a 180E that is about 13 years old. What kind are you thinking of getting?

Thank you, I was hoping the gold color would give the star dimension.

Driving to our old house to show it for sale. I brought out lots of donation kids quilts to sew and my sewing machine. When we get there I'm going to vacuum, dust and wash rugs. It is not fun keeping up 2 houses. Hope this sells it.

Well I finished up a sewing kit for my DD and hated the way it came out everything is just too crooked for me to be happy . So I went and took a nap. I am not touching any sewing the rest of the day. I am going to go find a movie to watch too something I can disappear in. Feeling homesick too. So a good old movie usually works.
Tomorrow I will cut it apart and start again.

Best of luck that you sell it soon.
