Default Hi from Texas!

Hey y'all! I'm new around here, and I've been lurking for awhile. I'm a military wife, homeschooling mom of 4 living in the middle of nowhere, Texas. We recently bought an abandoned house on 5 acres, and we've been remodeling it for the last several months. The best part is that there's a 1000 sq foot guest house on the property that will eventually be my sewing studio!

I've been sewing for about 12 years now, and I also do crochet, knitting, cross, stitch, embroidery, and I love to restore and refinish old stuff to new. Lately i've become a hoarder of old sewing machines. I keep finding them at yard sales etc and I can't say no!

I currently own:
Bernina 1230
Viking Designer I Embroidery Machine
Viking Designer Ruby Embroidery Machine
Brother 240D Serger
Babylock Quilters Choice Mid-Arm
1948 Singer
1965 Singer
1985 Singer
1960's (?) Lenco Industrial machine
Juki HZL-27D
1960's Dressmaker Zig-Zag
1960's White

I mainly do custom work for extra income, and with my mom we have recently launched our own design line for quilts and embroidery. Aside from that I'm the go-to girl for my husband's military unit, handling all of their alterations and uniform needs. I have so much military camo fabric in my stash its' unreal. haha!
