Great job. I have to do my serious quilting Monday - Thursday (that's when DH is working. Or when football is on TV. :lol: Tha Bargello is terrific. How do you get all of that under the machine? I find it such a chore. Thanks for sharing.

Take the time to be with DH. Life is short. We had a close call 3 years ago which made us take a second look at our priorities. He had a heart attack, but made a complete recovery. I can sew when he's at work (or when he cuts the lawn). But I know what you mean. It's difficult to tear yourself away from a project when you're really having fun. :lol:
