All, I thought about what was in her favorite sewing box, a nice old fashioned oval wooden one she kept all her hand work supplies. So here is a list that I have come up with that I know was in that box.
Smallish Sewing box
Pin cushion
Pins
quilting needles
leather thimble
pin cushion
scissor lanyard
small scissors
Safety Pins
Ripper
Marking chalk
I have an extra machine that I am going to give her until she can purchase a replacement. Yes, keep all those serial numbers. And listed someplace besides the computer....they took that which had all the pictures as well as her backup CDs.
