I am sure they are more welcoming now :) I would love to start a chapter of the Modern Quilt Guild here, have you heard of any talk of this? Please don't tell me where the quilt stores are! Danger! Frabic addict here!

I love this group - totally random women ages 30 - 85! And we have lots to talk about. Also, there is a quilt store at Exit 8 near the brick municipal building. Lots of goodies and very good prices. I am lucky cuz I work right beside the store. Guess where my paycheque goes.

My machine actually has a slow to fast switch. I tend to have a heavy foot (in the car too!), so I made my machine slow me down. You have much more control. All of that being said, I have done lot's of "organic" lines too and I still think they look awesomes!Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05567763046304613055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283434021680036683.post-40246896079449688052013-06-14T08:53:27.259-04:002013-06-14T08:53:27.259-04:00Thank you Heidi :)Thank you Heidi :)Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05567763046304613055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283434021680036683.post-45710866123759780102013-06-14T02:55:15.829-04:002013-06-14T02:55:15.829-04:00Beautiful simplicity!
