It’s the words no one wants to hear. Yes, if it’s stopped changing stitches, the board is probably going out soon. Gasp. No. It’s my machine!
Lots of desperation here. I do have backups, but they are not meant as major machines and they won’t back me up long.
My dear friend Elaine always knew when I called her at 7am, that I’d trashed my machine again. I’d call to ask if I could borrow hers. She’d thank me for having waited until 7, That bad.
I may be retired, but I’ve sewn and quilted all my life and probably will until they dig the final hole. I need a new machine.
But the other difference when you’re retired is that the easy money is much harder to find. So I’ve put all my quilts on a 40 % sale. I have a number of great new works at every price range. And I’m willing to let them go to make sure I can get a new machine. The sale will be on until September 21.
If you’ve been wanting a quilt of mine, this is the best time! The prices won’t go lower, because they really can’t. And I have some fabulous new work.

866 Arabesque Rose 
IF you are new to my work, please take some time to see what I’ve made. I feel each quilt is a separate world of it’s own, there to warm you from your wall, visually.
Prices on the web page and on Etsy will show the full price and give you the discount in your cart.
I’m asking your help to replace my machine.
Thanks!
I am not the best with technology but would like to support your art. Do you have a way I can donate to the sewing machine project without actually buying a piece of your art. Maybe you could put together a photo collage of your work. I will donate $100. Just need to figure out how to do this. I just saw your address below. Do you accept checks through the mail?
