I especially enjoy your posts about technical blogging things, because I am so clueless about it, and you can explain things so well. I have a short attention span so it has to seem easy or I give up before I start. Recently I made the change on my Google plus to where I think my e-mail address with show up for you. See, I can't even explain that right, but I think I followed the instructions correctly!

I didn't work on any of them all summer and just went to retrieve them from the RV this evening. I have stacks all over my sewing room now with no where for them to go. Perhaps I need to start with a shelving unit or a chest of drawers or something first. Truly, until I read this my plan was just to get busy sewing and get them all out of my way as fast as possible.
