Quilting with embroidery!
My next project is setting up my new sewing room. We recently moved and I haven’t had a place to set up my sewing. My husband built me a room in the barn, completely remodeling a room for me. It is almost completed, he is finishing the floor tomorrow and then the clean up and building shelves and it will be finished. Then I will have to set everything up, unpack boxes, organize everything, hopefully finding all I need or had boxed up. I still have alot of boxes that haven’t been openned. So this will be a big project!!
