I've been on the buying and selling homes board for a year, but I've been weaning myself off that one by lurking on a few other boards. I'm glad to see an active group of sewers.

I've always done basic home sewing like curtains, pillows, etc. I'm not bad at clothing construction, but I'm not good enough to make a wardrobe either.

I've spent years making quilts, but have to admit I've tired of those and began quilt appraisals three years ago. Good way to keep my hand in the area without feeling like I have to produce anything.

Now, I'm ready to learn about all of those feet for my machine that I've always shoved around the drawer. It's so interesting to me to find that many of those feet haven't changed since the early machines have been around.

My kids enjoy making basic items like pajama bottoms and quilts and I hope it's something they continue to enjoy.

By messing around with fabrics lately, I have ended up making wool braided rugs. Like most things, it appears easier to do than it is. But the results are most enjoyable.
