You won Grand Prize

Well, this is the year we'll always remember. We got the call last week from the shop hop organizer. My wife won the grand prize - a bernina 350. Of course, my wife is over the moon.
A friend joked that my wife will never get to sew on it because i'll always be on it. Naturally i replied, "don't be silly. Berninas are nice, but they're no rocketeer - the greatest sewing machine ever built." (that's printed on the cover of the rocketeer manual.)

Congratulations! Vintage machines are wonderful...I have a couple. I have wanted a Rocketeer but the price is always outside my budget. Winning a Bernina is a treat too. Have a great time sewing together.
