So, in the family, this is our 5th machine this year, all from the same LQS. When we get into something, we all jump on the bandwagon! And, we REALLY love our LQS!

I bet they really love you too!

It's a Janome 3160. It has the thread cutter button, so my mom joked that she spent an extra $400 so she won't have to pick up a pair of scissors! She is Soooooo excited, she can hardly wait to call and find out when she can come in to pick it up.

Here's the machine on Janome's website.

Oooo, that's a good idea! I'll take my camera with to the LQS when she picks it up!

I brought my camera to the store tonight, but I forgot to pull it out because while Mom was getting her lesson, I was doing more shopping! So, here's pictures after we got home. She's pretty excited, although too tired tonight to start anything other than test a few stitches. I had to test it some too. It purred like a kitten and sewed like a dream!

The display numbers are big and bright

Mom passed away 4 weeks ago after struggling through 2 1/2 months in hospitals. My Sis-in-law and I are well equipped with machines so mom had said for my sister to get her new machine. Yay for my sis! She is now part of the Janome family.

Today is one of those days when I miss my mom so bad.....

I am 62 years old - my mother passed eleven years ago. The other day, I picked up the phone to call her to ask her a question. Forgot I had to ask her the heaven-way!

We will always be our mother's daoughters.

Christine, so very sorry for your loss. You have some wonderful memories of your Mom and it's obvious she enjoyed her life. So happy appearing in the photos. Time does help some, but the hole in your heart never quite mends. Hugs and prayers to you and your family.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. My sympathy to you and your family. She looks so happy with her new machine and I hope it brought her and all of you joy during her last months. Hugs.
