    I am loving all of the quilts, but I know that they would be too much for me to do.
    I have finally made some room in my bedroom to use the sewing machines on the desk, and be able to work when DGD is in Nursery.
    I spent quite a while sorting the stitching on my overlocker. I think it also needs a service but i dare not ask the company that have done my other two machines as its not one of thiers. Its a very old Janome.

    I have cut out a baby dress for the new baby due, so hope to get to sew it soon.
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    I've started a blog :eek:

    I've been inspired by people on here, but if people could let me know what you think, that would be great. It's here: http://thenovicestitcher.blogspot.com/

    I also have no idea how to follow or even find any other blogs. Got a lot saved in my internet favourites though.

    Thanks for following! I still can't see how to follow people though, although I've managed to follow myself, duh...

    I see now how to follow going from here. Is there a way to follow from my blog, using the pictures of people who are following me?
