The machine turned out BEAUTIFUL!!!! Very nice clean up.

I am over random impulse purchasing of more vintage machines. And unless a really fantastic one comes my way at a terrific price or it is one of four still on my want list I just leave them for someone else to be thrilled with. I still keep an eye out for interesting cabinets too. I have a fabulous small collection right now of machines and cabinets, well fabulous to me anyway and I have used up any spare room in the house and in the cargo trailer which is still full of machines waiting for evaluation, repairs and cleaning whenever I feel the urge.

And now my muse is back stronger than ever wanting to get back into my hot glass studio and melt glass which has always been my first love. My Segway into vintage machines has allowed me to do something mechanical and to recreate a beautiful machine out of something that was trashed, thrashed and thrown out. It is very gratifying.

I now have two wonderful quilting friends from this forum that live in my area that are helping me with quilting/sewing and I have donated ten of my beautiful repaired machines and three cabinets to the Boles fire survivors in Weed California. All in all a wonderful experience.

I still frequent this forum along with my other favorite forums and join in when I can. I think that vintage sewing machines are a chapter in my life that has slowed way down but will never close completely. What is even more fun is that I now know what the heck I am looking for and in for if and when I decide to bring another one home!!!! LOL
