We stopped in Connecticut on our way back home from visiting relatives in Nova Scotia. We happened to arrive on my birthday, so it really was a HAPPY BIRTHDAY to me (and Mom)!
Right now, we have about 10 large bags of super quality quilting cottons sitting on the deck, waiting for us to go through and organize them. The embroidery machine is tucked safely in its case in my bedroom until we're done organizing. I have a giant tote of feet, add-on accessories, instruction manuals, embroidery designs, hoops, etc. all together. And the thread and notions... and a Rowenta iron... I'm just so overwhelmed in the best way possible.
I'll try to get some pictures as we start going through the fabric. I'm so honored and grateful that her husband allowed us to provide a home for her quilting supplies. Going through one of the manuals, I see that she completed every exercise and one panel had her name and initials embroidered as a 'test' of the stitches. It's just so sweet.
