My very first post - 2012

Finally set up my blog, think it's going to be interesting and a lot of fun.  I'm not going to be boring and put my life hereinafter, and hopefully won't need to be told to 'get a life', I have one, I think.  I love to sew, sew and sew .. quilting, machine embroidery and garment making.  Spent today making a machine embroidered table runner with an Australian theme, will post a pic when it's finished.  Would be happy to make contact with other quilters, machine embroiders to share inspiration.
