Have been busy this morning making my new little granddaughter Martha a Christmas stocking.  One of the things I have discovered since my retirement  is an absolute joy in sewing. Although I make the occasional useful object (christmas stocking, cushion cover, bag), my real pleasure lies in patchwork and quilting.  I also absolutely love choosing and buying fabric..........and therein lies the problem - I now have the fabric for 13 different projects!! I'm not completely out of control, however, several of these projects use fabric given to me as presents by thoughtful friends and relatives.
Back to more sewing later.
