Had to take a break to get the house quilt sorted. Finished the top and basted it to some batting and a backing fabric. I have started in on the quilting. Now for the good part. I was struggling with my lower end domestic machine - like if it would just sew a stright line and not turn left when it hit a seam would be nice. Muttered my comoplaints within earshot of Mother. She said, "I have a spare machine at home. You can have a play with it and if you like it, you can keep it." So yesterday I went round and picked it up. I think I counted 5 other machines dotted around the spare oom, plus the one on the dining table. She'd already given one to my youngest sister.
So now I am the proud owner of a Janome Memory Craft 6500. All the bells and whistles. Still grinning like an idiot.
NO excuses now.Have to finish the quilt!
Cheers, Fay
