Two years ago this past February, I sold my Grace Quilting Frame
(that had been with me for years without completing one quilt)

and bought an embroidery
machine a few months later.
I ended up getting the Brother SE-400 Combination Sewing and
Embroidery machine

rather than my dream
– the Ruby Viking.

Oh, My, Goodness! I could by a used car for that price!
Maybe someday, after I win the lottery!
The process of learning how to machine embroidery came
slowly, then abruptly stopped. It was July of 2011, when I had to go to Dallas to be with my
parents as Daddy ended up having two major surgeries in less than a month. His
healing process was slow going and Momma needed help taking care of him. Once
the crisis was over and I returned home, to the studio, it’s like I’ve had a
mental block, lack of desire, or any interest in using the machine.
Of late, I’m grateful the desire/interest has rekindled
itself. I’ve brought out the machine and placed where I can easily use it, to learn
and discover its true value. A “study” of sorts begins today!
Happy Embroidering!
