I'm Back
I know it has been a few months since I last logged but my sewing machine was not doing any sewing except to sew (a maximum of) 10 stitches that looked like sewing then would go to looping on the underside of the fabric for about 10 stitches then it would repeat the pattern.
I knew that if I came on the boards I would be very tempted to want to join some of the swaps. It would have cost me a minimum of $300 to get it my old machine fixed. Well then it happened. I found Wards. Looking through the website I found a sewing machine that would cost $380.--includes tax and interest and I pay $25/month. Fits my budget and the machine is brand new. Now I’m back to sewing up that storm—after I get everything set up again on my sewing table.
Actually I was looking for a freezer but I accept the sewing machine. I also found in my junk room (as my brother calls it) one box of fabric with several squares that have been bound off. They are excellent for mug rug trades. They are big squares. Just need to add some pretty touches and quilting.
One quilt I will be making will be depicting this Trooper. I'll take it to the Troop that serves our area and ask them to send it to the correct address so the Colonel will be able to identify the troop and it be posted in that Troop--hopefully. I will be adding some extra items to the quilt. I can see it in my mind and now I just need to get it to paper and then to the quilt.
I love my Officers of all our departments. I pray for them every time I see a squad from any department. I still miss you James.
