    Hello Bobbi, I haven't participated for a while, so it's highest time for me to do this :). I just started to cut some squares for a quilt, so I'll be working on it tomorrow. Thanks for keeping me motivated - it's better when I know other people will be sewing as well :).

    Had fun setting up our new "long arm" frame (which will really just be a short-arm use for now for our Friday night sew it. Didn't sew much, but it's set up and it's fun. Now we need to practice, practice, practice!

    Friday night sew in was a good movie and hand sewing the binding to my newest finish. It's one of my most favorite parts of a quilt: basking under the "finish" of a beautiful project.
