Woe is me


Disaster has struck , can you think of a bigger blip than a patchworkers sewing machine breaking down .
I am using the term disaster in a very loose way because obviously there are real disasters in many peoples lives .
The machine broke 3 needles by hitting the bar on the needle plate . The irony is a part completed quilt has been staring at me for months , yes months . I just could not get enthusiasm going to finish it , then after giving myself a nudge to get going the machine has a tantrum .
Oh well , nothing can be done till it,s had a overhaul .

Hey I feel for you. Not so long ago I did something similar and ended up without my dear machine for nearly a week - boy that was a long week and for some reason I couldn't even settle to any hand stitching either.

How frustrating for you, especially since you had psyched yourself up into finishing the quilt. Hope you get it fixed very soon.
