Thanks so much for sharing. <br /><br />I am off to our guild retreat this weekend...taking Shirttails to show a friend...and start on Turkey Tracks in blues from String Fling. Can't wait!

I...Thank you Bonnie for this wonderful information. I am always stopping at garage sales. I see sewing machines cheap all the time, I resist buying them because I already have all I can use. I will now buy those good machines and since my DH and I winter in Mississippi I will be taking those purchases and delivering them to Barton Rouge! Thank you for giving me another way to "give back" to the communities where I live.Peggy Klockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18345591559393832281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-47527379616935161332012-10-07T11:49:29.927-04:002012-10-07T11:49:29.927-04:00Sewing machines are donated at this side of the oc...Sewing machines are donated at this side of the ocean - Netherlands - as a rule to "gered gereedschap": saved tools. There my treadle went, as I don't have place to use it or put it. It's somewhere in Asia or Africa now, supporting a seamstress's family =^}<br />This organisation mends, repairs and after that ships in working order. One of the DIY chains supports them, by collecting blunt saws and name all the other tools that otherwise will sit idle in a box.<br />We do care about others, part of the quilting bug, and luckily there is an opportunity available for non-quilters as well to support others with less luck than we have.<br />Have a pleasant and rewarding time ahead! Btw, the Dear Jane pattern still looks gorgeous after these scant 150 yrs, especially in brown/pink!<br />Love from a sunny Amsterdam, <br />IreneIrene Onderweegshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04203549705147874055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-47617782550212414492012-10-07T11:29:25.263-04:002012-10-07T11:29:25.263-04:00Hi Bonnie.

And my dtrs-in-law are not in the least bit interested in sewing. So glad that there are opportunities to pass them on. Have a wonderful, safe trip and enjoy the colors!<br />Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00530655634094619796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-15526407546348312392012-10-07T09:23:55.026-04:002012-10-07T09:23:55.026-04:00And you called it an addiction!! :) It is just an...And you called it an addiction!! :) It is just another of many ways that you think of others!! :)<br /><br />Have a safe and fun week in PA!
