Post Show and the Adoption

Where did the week go?

It seems I have been rushing along all week...

trying to get myself back on track.

Let me catch up here a little...

warning... lots of pictures ahead...

  Here is the display of my quilts at the quilt show.

Well, most of the ones that were in the show anyway.

Then when the show was over and all the quilts got put away...

I ventured into my sewing room to see where I had left off on 

the "other" sewing projects...

I pulled out Swoon! 

I already had 5 blocks made and as of this morning, the 6th...

and one more ready to go!

Now, as for that adoption I had mentioned...

Do you remember a story from a long time ago...

that had a very sad ending...

I was attempting to change the battery in the smoke detector when at the last second I saw the cord of my sewing machine wrapped around the leg of the chair I was pulling across the floor so that 

I could stand on it. I didn't even have time to blink let alone leap to catch the machine that flew off the table and exploded into pieces. p.i.e.c.e.s.

I was beyond mad (at myself)... I just turned off the light and went to bed...

at like 7 o'clock. 

Mostly out of guilt, I have been limping along with it ever since...

however, I do rely on my Featherweights.

When I need a special stitch I call on my DDIL or

my friend Rhonda who so kindly  allow me to borrow their Pfaffs

for the special work. We all have the same machine... 

(mine a year older, and super glued together) so I know it well...

unfortunately, inside and out.

At the quilt show there was an area where the guild members sell

items... and for only $375. the Pfaff on the right called my name.

I bought myself a new to me sewing machine!

Now I can let my machine R.I.P.

(rest in pieces)
