hi ..proud to be a friend, of course!
hope to learn more about one another while playing around here at mqp. i see you joined the ufo group, fun & talented group of people. check around there is a lot of different groups, some more active than others ..theres also a cooking group and even a group for knitting & crochet! :)) ..my first loves. in fact, i'm currently working on crochet hats for my grand treasures for christmas. their dad, my son, says they'll love them! bomber style ..really cute. i am also chomping at the bit wishing the tday thing was past so i can start another quilty project. large lap quilt for friends who were of special help & encouragement thru this past spring & summer as i dealt w an exacerbative phase of long term spinal disease. over worst of it now tho, and as soon as cooking done i am soooooo looking forward to sitting down at my sewing machine which has been silent since last aprils' doll clothes experiments and start a quilt repro fr the mid 1800's made w cw & 1800's repro fabs. of course i first have to get the pattern drafted! lollol
are you working on anything special right now? ...or just getting thru the holidays until life returns to normal and personal playtime can resume?
