I've had it for years and drag it out every now and then for that perfect color I need for something. It's slowly disappearing and I shall miss it.

Yes, it is Debbie Mum, and I have had it for many years. I'm so excited to find Craftsy and this whole "community" of wonderful people! Can't wait to get the sewing machine out and quilt some more! Good luck with your quilt, be sure to post it! Happy New Year!
