I'm participating in the

31 Day Blog Writing Challenge.

I've managed to write on my blog for the first 8 days of 31.

(I'm including today)

On days there hasn't been a sewing project to blog about,

I've been using

Cheryl's prompts to keep up with the challenge.

Today's prompt: Skills I wish I had.

I wish I had better quilting knowledge on my long arm with both the computer and free-motion. I want to have the courage to tackle free-motion on the long arm like I do with my domestic. I wish ...
