My Sewing Machine

We returned home on Thursday from vacation, listened to my messages, yea, the sewing machine is cleaned and repaired. So Friday, off to bring her home.


And here is a recap of that trip:

Blow-out on interstate, able to get off and pull over on the exit ramp. The spare tire will not lower, two people stopped to help. We live on a gravel road and the lime from the gravel did something to the mechanism (or whatever it is called). So, I call a tow truck, they tow my Envoy to a tire shop and they put on a used tire so I can get my machine and get home.


So this is the financial recap

Tow truck - $50 (thought I had towing insurance, thought wrong)

used tire - $43

machine repair - $63

new parts for the spare tire mechanism - unknown at this time


My sewing machine back in my sewing room - Priceless!!


I did a bit of sewing on Saturday, put binding on Meredith's latest quilt, a challenge quilt. Pictures soon, we have to embroider the quilt label.



Now I need pictures for this post - so here is Kaitlyn and dad para sailing at Hilton Head. Meredith and I kept our feet on the ground!



One of my favorite pictures from vacation, it was taken at Coastal Discovery Museum, which was very interesting and fun.
This was such a relaxing morning, we took our time and followed all the paths, plus the scenery was stunning.


My shorts are from Burda Style magazine, this is the only picture, I will give details later.

  3. You are lucky in one sense. A blow out can cause an accident. I'm glad you got your machine back. It's tough to be without it. You vacation pictures are glorious!
