I have 3 machines. The first one I owned is a Kenmore. I named him Kenny. (Not very original, huh?) He's more muscular than my others--will essentially "mow down" anything--what a boyish mindset! He's not complicated. Also very guy-ish.
The second one I got is a Janome DC 1050 named Kelly. I got her last summer when 3 Kelly-related things happened:
-my dear friend Kelly, in Colorado, witnessed the burning of her entire neighborhood in the Black Forest . Only her house remained, and she has no clue why. All her animals survived, too.
-another good friend named Kelly, moved away. She is an avid seamstress and came to my rescue with many sewing fixes when I got stuck.
-I met a Kelly last year whose hope understand very difficult circumstances is quite inspiring.
The third machine is my Singer 15-91. I call her Kathryn or Kate, my grandmother's name, because that grandmother sewed many, many items of necessity and comfort. She even made me a baby doll bed and I feel close to her in spirit when I'm sewing. That machine doesn't work (yet) but I'm determined.
So they all have names that start with K, not on purpose, but the next machine will now HAVE to start with K in order to fit in !
