I would love to take one of your courses and will in the future but one course, full time job and two grandchildren are keeping me on my toes at present! Thanks for all your great inspirational tips and knowledge though.Sew Jacky Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13878249003905816421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-63796604372358895782015-12-24T09:00:20.625-08:002015-12-24T09:00:20.625-08:00Thank you Elle and Laceflower!!

More people should realize that limits actually are freeing. And not in creative endeavours! All the best in the year to come.
