In a changing technological world, one has to keep up. I upgraded from a machine I bought in 1969--A wonderful, dependable Elna Super. The machine is still good, but it just doesn't offer what the new machines do, so I finally packaged it up and placed in storage. I cried. I love my current machines, but I guess I will always have a soft spot in my heart for my Elna. Yes, I have learned to love again. My Juki 2010Q is reliable and my Janome has exciting features that I really do love.

Yesterday at Bible Study we were asked to name our three most cherished items. I named my church family, my family/extended family and Lucy, my sewing machine. Then we were asked could we give up one and which one. Obviously, I had to name Lucy. Sorry Luce!!!

Trying to finish up some FMQ and couldn't get the tension right, thread kept breaking, then I rethreaded it wrong, you name it. Stoopid small eye in the needle. I finally realized the biggest issue was that I didn't have enough light in the room.

I have to admit that my laptop is my best friend. I spend more time with her than most others each day.
My sewing machine is more like a dear old friend that I don't see every day, but we pick right up where we left off and enjoy each others company very much.

One of my friends who recently passed away, sewed up until a few weeks before she died. She said sewing made her feel better so she just kept sewing.
