 :sew:  hello I'm new here, I found this forum via some members of lovinghands
I mostly sew up pre loved fabric into quilts or throwovers for charity. I'm currently joining together some large squares I was given. I large white that has been free motioned - something I can't do and 2 others not quite the same size embroidered and hand quilted onto wadding but no backing
As I expect other members have some unfinished projects, can't count how many I have
I'm a retired nurse, mother of 2 and Nana to 2 girls and 3 boys

Welcome from another who got sucked into the dark side (though I was already at the top of the slippery slope)
Life's too short for ironing.
