Hey to everyone! I'm in B.C. today and the weather is so cold - there is frost everywhere and it looked like snow this morning. I wanted to post a few photos of my home office studio. I had been sewing/quilting/writing in my basement.....and just found no matter what I did, the light down there was...

Craigslist is a really good idea! Maybe I will find my dream machine on there!!! Penny I don't think I could ever go back to a machine with a "normal" throat size after using my Pfaff grand quilter for so long. It makes quilting so much easier with the wide throat...I think mine is 17"...
