I can't figure out how someone at such a sad time in his life can still be so giving. His heart must be very big. I'll bet he would like something you quilt on the machine, even if it isn't perfect. I know that, in the same place, I would appreciate it. Bless him for giving it to you and bless you and the work you will do on it.

I thanked him several times while he was here setting it up. He said if he could use it then he knew I would be able to. Just a very sweet man. When my friend mentioned me to him she told him that we had 5 kids. He said well, then she will get a lot of use out of it for those kids.
I have his address and will be sending him a Thank You card. Owning a quilting machine is a dream that I never thought would happen. ;)
Thanks for sharing in my fun.
Hugs,
Angie
