Some of you know that I am making a lap quilt for a DF who has been diagnosed with cancer (It's in the liver and pancreas therefore terminal) I am not very good at FMQ but there was no time to send the quilt to my LAQ so I said to self you CAN do this.... Well, my quilting isn't great, but I thought she would understand. To finish it off, I decided to add a decorative stitch in the middle of the outside border. 3 sides done. Then as I turned the quilt to do the last side, I dumped a glass of water that was on my sewing table. Of course water went everywhere including on the computer end of my sewing machine!!! I brought it to my repairman last night, and while await his news, I will TRY to improve some of the FMQ on my old machine that doesn't hold a tension well and maybe put on the binding. Please pray that drying it out will salvage my machine so I can get this quilt to her hopefully ASAP....
