Sewing at Dawn


It feels good to be sewing in earnest again. I've broken the bonds with my spinning wheel for now. I adore my old Singer, almost a hundred years old, purchased from a New Berlin quilter, Linda Foote, for $75 with the cabinet. I had my Janome fixed, and it's broken again. Won't invest any more repair money in that machine. The old heavy metal machines are the best. I need a new drive belt on this one but it's sewing fine for now, with a little squeaking and a loud motor. I heard Matt mutter something about oh, no, she's sewing again. He'll have to get used to it because my machine will be running hard for the next eight weeks.
