    Love your space. And what I could see of your old quilts, I think you should take them out and take pics and post them.

    You know pgthom that is a mighty nice space you have there and it is only an or so drive from Grand Rapids to Kzoo, I could very easily stop in and sit a spell!

    Well, and you would be welcome. I have family in GR, and like your JoAnne's better than ours, so get up there often too. Have extra machines available too! Penny

    Thanks for your comment. I am far from a neatnick, but can lay my hands on what I need most of the time! Trouble is, I have too many interests. Knitting, crocheting, sewing, quilting, jewelry making, upcycling, the list goes on and on. Better than it was at the old house. Had too much in bags, and then would forget what I had. I sort by type of fabric now, fleece, cottons, seersucker, bottom weight, vintage, etc. Works for me anyway.
