My fingers are crossed that all goes well and my husband and I make it there . . . it didn't work out for us last year, but it's a new day.<br />Hugs, JamieJamie McClenaghannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-71675045444579173412016-04-20T02:34:29.293-04:002016-04-20T02:34:29.293-04:00I'm happy to see someone else using their Rock...I'm happy to see someone else using their Rocketeer. I learned free motion on mine and then I tried free motion on a treadle machine. It can be done, but takes some real coordination, probably more than I have.<br />I love your quilt of valor and especially the pieced backing.Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16352834660023717098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-8522821068119276852016-04-19T21:53:00.197-04:002016-04-19T21:53:00.197-04:00How did you ever learn to take apart and put toget...How did you ever learn to take apart and put together sewing machines?

My favorite antique store is Lost Marbles on Minnesota, which is the main drag North and South. I've only seen sewing machines in there a couple of times, but she has a lot of vintage fabrics and clothing and things of that sort. There is an antique mall in Tea which is a little town S. of SF but I've only been out there a couple of times so I am not sure what is there.phillip's nannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14444917012734285496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-5273709025283849852016-04-19T12:48:01.774-04:002016-04-19T12:48:01.774-04:00This past week I had a visit from my cousin with p...This past week I had a visit from my cousin with pictures and documents in hand about my grandfather who was in the first world war. I didn't know these things existed. She wondered if I would like them, you bet I would. He was in the army, honorably discharged after losing an eye at 23 years old. His pay book said he got paid $1.00 a day to be on the front line in Vimy Ridge. He survived the horrors of the war to have a fulfilled life in Canada. I feel so privileged to now have these items to add to the artifacts I have and be the current keeper of this little piece of history. I was so lucky to get to know him.<br />Thanks Bonnie for all your insperation.<br />Elaine<br />Ontario CanadaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-22456634385557753792016-04-19T12:06:16.252-04:002016-04-19T12:06:16.252-04:00What do you think of not sewing your scraps togeth...What do you think of not sewing your scraps together, and just butting the edges up against each other as you roll the quilt up on the long arm?

I am always amazed at the beautiful creations you create with little scraps of fabric, many that were discarded by another. I love that beauty can come from those little pieces! <br />Would you mind sharing the panto you used on this quilt. I am really liking it! Sorry about the power outage... It is hard to be without the electricity we are so accustomed to having it!<br /><br />Enjoy your day!<br />Pattie Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05885847219749843301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-34440833946259524742016-04-19T10:19:49.108-04:002016-04-19T10:19:49.108-04:00Dear Anonymous. 26 year old sons always want to d...Dear Anonymous. 26 year old sons always want to drive around to see if someone hit a power pole.

Google "Duke Energy Outage Map Carolinas" and you can pull up the area of outage, the number of customers involved, and the expected restoration time. Saw on your Facebook page that you were driving around trying to find the extent of the problem. No need to do that with the online map. It helps to get familiar with the map before you need to use it, too. <br /><br />Usually, the power is restored before the time given on the map. Patience is needed, though, if there's been a fallen tree (requiring more than just quick equipment repair) or a big storm with widespread outages.<br /><br />- From someone familiar with the systemAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
