PFAFF Newsletter It is hard to believe that we are already in 2011! It seems like we just started 2010! With the New Year many of us will make resolutions to finish that pile of UFO’s from the previous year before starting anything new! If you are like me though that resolution will most likely fail in the first month. It’s just so fun to start a new project! Whether you are finishing projects or starting new ones, I hope you have a fun and productive year of sewing in 2011!
