For some reason, I stopped getting updates on page 990something. Woohoo1000 pages. I know for sure now I'll never get caught up. Took me forever to read the first 100.

I'm glad everyone is ok with the storms.

I've cleaned off my table and going to get my machine out. I'm still trying to think of a good name for her. She's such a classy and elegant thing, I'm drawn to call her Phyllis after my late and awesome Gramma. I just don't know yet.

I'm going to experiment with adding binding to a quilt. I just need to get some practice using her so I can get used to how she works. I'm going to try and put my vintage bobbins in a side winder. Try as I may, I just cannot get the bobbins to wind in the machine. It's one of the things we went over in the shop. The VSMG got the bobbin to wind ok, so I'm sure it's operator error. Has anyone tried a side winder?

Wish me luck!
