Like you I often find it takes longer than sewing the project up!<br />Oh and I loved your showcase on SewCalGal MyFarmLifeDiaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02710668818923201323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1906296252131082397.post-61587748878072225412013-06-27T21:40:07.568-04:002013-06-27T21:40:07.568-04:00Barb, great job!!
