 I gave my serger to my exsister inlaw13 years ago...to make a long story short ...we got back in touch with one another...which is great!! she was cleaning out her basement and guess what she came across!!!...my serger and gave it back to me  It is a White 228 ...I started it up today...cleaned and oiled it ...runs like a charm...I put white thread on it ...It is an extra... I just bought a Baby lock serger a few years ago... I realy need to get sewing again ...I need to start one project... even if I only work for 5 minutes on something ...I need to get back at it as I realy do enjoy it... i think I will start a I spy Quilt for the DGS's ...I will leave it in the trailor for them to play with when there with me ...how hard can that be !!.I will serge the whole thing

Hey Bren that serger wasn't in Louisiana was it? LOL Just wondering. I'm glad you got it back, now all you need is a room for yourself to sew in. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA???????????????? In case everyone doesn't know this one of Bren's ex sister in law's lives about 2 miles down the road from me. What a coincidence that was. And she's here all the way from Canada. I'm regressing back into my youth, I just have to figure out how I'm going to convience my body to come along with me.

I was wondering what an I Spy quilt was. I just sit in awe looking at everyone's work. I am just starting out and wonder if I will ever be able to do THAT kind of sewing! Judy, great quilts besides the I spy one!!! Loved looking at your pics. I love this sight, so much sharing and kindness!  That I spy quilt is a really cool idea for kids! Might try one someday!

Cowqueenie, those are not my quilts. I wish they were! I just googled to find an example of an I Spy quilt to show and posted a link to that site. Here is one that someone has written instructions. It's a good one for a beginner to try. http://quiltville.com/ispya4patch2.shtml TTFN from
