And, I have been very busy sewing away. I have two days rental of a long arm machine coming up. Here are some scraps from my current projects – gifts for some very special people:

I can’t wait to see what you do with your long arm machine. I’ll be sharing your special box early next week. I have BIG plans for a few of those dolls right away. You are just so generous. Thank you!!
