Oh I love having a snow day as an adult!! I make those days mine. They come few and far here in GA. I made a pot of chili and started in on my quilt tops. I don't know about you but I think that I need to go to "Toppers Anonymous" If such a thing is out there. I love making quilt tops. Do not enjoy quilting large quilts on my machine. Have not yet learned how to hand quilt. I would love a longarm but is not in the top ten of things that our money needs to go towards. Oh - I guess I must also confess that I am to cheap to let someone else quilt them for me. I mean really if a had to spend $$ I would pick new fabric. So many "pretties" are out there. So one of my goals this year is to finish the tops that I have. I am trying to only purchasing thread, and batting this year. I am going to make myself piece fabrics together for backs. So is anyone else out there like me? It's okay if I'm alone I will persevere. I will try to keep you posted on my progress. Happy snow day everyone, Barbara

Katmom so...are you thinking about moving your sewing room to the kitchen? Just kidding. I do know how important good lighting can be when you are sewing. I had my sewing room in a far off bedroom and felt disconnected to my family. So maybe you have a good idea. Oh ...you could find an old hoosier cabinet to keep your sewing supplies. And just sew and sew and sew and cook and sew.......Barbara

I plan to get to some sewing as soon as I get the last of the Christmas deco packed away....
My bad! I brought everything downstairs, and parked it right in the middle of the sewing room floor,,,I figure if I put just a few things away each day I might have it all packed up just in time to pull it out again for next Christmas! lol!
But, never fear, I could just keep stepping over it,,,drag my Singer 301 upstairs and sew at the kitchen table where the light is much better...
hmmmmm, thinking, thinking!
