I have a friend at work who wanted to rid herself of her sewing things. It was a connection with her mother that she did not want anymore. I was asked to buy all of this but I can not afford it. She decided we could barter. She wants a full size rag quilt. She even gave me the fabric for it. :) I will have to buy batting and backing fabric. I feel so blessed. The machines name is Penny for the previous owner. I can't wait to play with her. Thanks for looking.

I know. I feel bad that things are so bad with her mother and her dad just passed away on July18. She had been home two weeks before he passed and told her family he was ill but noone would listen to her.

Wow, talk about being in the right place at the right time. Good for you. On the other hand, I hope she is able to accept that which life has in store for her. Sad family time.
