Everybody, I'd been thinking for a week or two it was time to get back online and rejoin rctq ... and unfortunately MeSue's death has been the final push to do that. I wanted to thank everybody for all the cards and good wishes that you sent me in the past few months, both before and after my...

I'm sending my DD her first sewing machine tomorrow - an entry level Bernina 1008. I've also packed a small mat, a rotary cutter, short ruler, and a bunch of thread. Fabric will follow later - it won't fit into the box. She is working on a quilt for her DBF - a quilt she designed in her head...
