Leave me alone...let me creaate...I can clean later (any fool can clean, it takes a genius to create art!).
    LOL! We must be sisters! Tho, truthfully, I can't always lay my hands on what I want.

    So many good prices. My suggestion would be about pricing of fabric. I understood when the price of cotton went up due to cotton shortages, but they sure didn't go back down when the cotton became plentiful!

    My Husqvarna 875 Q's display screen displays an empty bobbin when the thread runs out. Handy if you see it: I wish it would also beep!

    I begrudge time taken away from quilting to clean the house.

    That probably explains why it's usually a wreck unless company is coming .......
