OK Pat. How about Quilting Board Sewing Party as it's still a QBSP? Or a Q-Bop? (Quilting Board Office Party) at least I can pronounce that.

http://www.shopgoodwill.com/viewItem.asp?ItemID=9679676 I wonder if this is a heavy one or a light weight one. Mine is heavy in the case but when you lift the machine it is very light weight. Mine says Domestic.

And I'll definitely add gloves to the list!

I actually started the Glenn wood treatment on the Davis a couple of weeks back before wedding mania kicked in. But I've mislaid his 'specific to the Davis cabinet treatment plan' and now I have to go and humbly grovel for him to check his 'SENT' folder.
Life will get back to normal after the middle of May. In the meantime, I hope I don't miss anything important here. I have one heck of an order to place with our Miz___ (insert proper Board Name here).[
You all be good while I only have one eye open, hear?!
best,

D, it is hard to be good with Charlee and Monica here - they can be sooooo bad! But, they do make it fun with their indiscretions!
Congratulations on your Lotus! That is one design I do not have, but I look all the time. I found the most magnificent Lotus for a GF a couple years ago. She asked me to find her a treadle in pristine shape and I did, but I have never found another in the shape I found hers in - probably never will! Anyway, don't stress too much over the wedding plans!

It will take awhile as DH is having complications after his Chemo for lymphoma two years ago. Not sure how much time I will have to work, but that is ok. The last picture is the cabinet after I removed all the old shellac and stain, since the finish was trashed. Now to start rebuilding the finish. Thanks to Skip, as always.
