Thank you for this insightful story. We are blessed. I don't really need a larger quilting machine. I have more sewing machines than I can use now. Just needed to step back and appreciate all that I have right in front of me. And it's all paid for.

Loved your story!
I really struggled with my last quilt. It got caught on my table about every 15 seconds. So frustrating. Told myself I am not quilting another large quilt until I get a new table that my machine can sit down into. Maybe I should be thinking about the Tin Lizzie instead. Maybe they don't cost much more than the nice tables. Time to do some research!

If you are the type of person to be jealous, then you have to be careful what you let yourself see/hear. If not, you are free to see/hear all those wonderful things people have/places people go. It is very liberating to be able to rejoice for others.
But, not to say that if you really want a long arm, why not start saving for it? Start a special ING savings account on line and have a yard sale, ebay sales, babysit, sell off unneeded stuff, look for part time work --put it all in the account and watch your savings grow...

I'm with you, I was all set to buy a long arm this summer but something happened twice when I had the money and it had to go for the good of the family. I'm determined ill have one in the next year. I will only buy what I have pay cash for, I'm getting an affordable Baileys longarm...I've used one and they are basic machines and the price is right for my budget

I loved your analogy on coping with what God has blessed me with. I have never seen a LA in action. I see the beautiful work it does, but quiet honestly I don't think it's for me. Now a new Baby lock or a new Janome machine yes. So for now I will just use my old horses.
