There is a big out-of-control fire in the mountains north of Denver. On the local news this morning, one reporter said that when she asked a group of women who had to evacuate their homes what they took they answered....their sewing machines! The reporter said that this was a tight-knit group of sewers. I am assuming that this is an avid group of quilters. I pray for them and their houses (and their sewing stash). So my question is, would you think of taking your sewing machine if you had to evacuate your home at a minutes notice? I admit it would not have been the first thing on my mind--but now it is!
