Got say I just luv your name in here :-) Glad to see we've become friends at long last...

What are you currently working on right now and I hope you may have seen the new group to help "new Sewers" perhaps you can participate in there.

Glad you like the button collection ,I wish they were mine but I collect photos,which is much less expensive. I do have a small collection and when I have extra moola ,I will bid or buy one.

They are lil pieces of art to me and I am glad to share what info etc. I have.

Hugs,
Jeri

Just love the sewing machine you got from your Grandmother!! Sometimes I think I need an old sewing machine that pretty much sews...The newer ones are complicated with all the features.Kinda like popping the hood on a 40 something car vs a 2009 vehicle .Have no clue what you're looking at LOL

Loved the fact computer was in background of your old lovely machine Progress...

I appreciate the videos you posted,I'll be viewing all soon,as I need help :-)

I like what you did with your page,hope you like the button I passed along,goes with your colors!

Sending a friend request your way,
Jeri
