I have been married to this man for 38 years and this is the first time he has shown interest in what i do.. he has gone to the fabric store before and bought fabric as a surprise.. but never in my sewing... THEN............ he got interested in the old machines.. and with that he loved taking them for a test drive and sewing.. he really strived in making his lines straight and perfect.. that is where his first quilt came into play... he didn't want to do another quilt, he wanted to do something he could see his hard work come to life faster.. so he asked if he could do a purse.. well of course he could !! And he is doing a great job. Now he talks the talk and walks the walk.. stay tune for the purses finale !
