Yesterday was a special day. I didn’t work on my new jacket project. Instead, my friend, Marcy, got to deliver 48 veterans quilts to the new VA facility in Fredericksburg. We were given a tour of the new facility and got to present 3 quilts to veterans that are patient volunteers. It was a very rewarding visit to hear how much they appreciate the quilts. If you want to read about our visit you can see it on the CSQ Blog.
I was so inspired that I came home and loaded the next 2 veterans quilts for quilting. I’ll probably quilts these today before I get back to the jacket project.
On Monday, I got my sewing machine back from the repair shop and everything seems to be in perfect working order. I can already tell that the tension is better. They replaced the beehive spring inside the tension dial.
Unfortunately, Mom’s machine is dead. It had a great life but there are broken gears and replacements aren’t available.
The shop is All Things New in Midlothian, VA and the owners are very friendly and seem to absolutely love fixing our machines. I was very happy with the service and the price was VERY reasonable.
