Contentment is often what we need. I decline going shopping, quilt shopping and other shopping too, just because I so often get snagged into desiring what I don't need. When I spend my day yearning for bigger and better, I forget to be thankful for the good that I already have. Would I like a better machine with a larger harp or down need feature, sure, but my machine works well and is sufficient for my skill level. Do I like that beautiful cut of fabric, sure, but I have bins and bins of fabric to use. Thank you good Lord for all that you have given to me and.. sew on! I'll know when it is time for that upgraded machine or that spectacular cut of fabric for that special quilt when the time is right!
