With a new battery installed in the Honda I ventured out to pick up my Janome from
Intown Quilters. I take pride in being able to read a map and follow directions but it's the close in places that will foul you up down here. I got lost and wandered about like the Lost Tribes of Israel until the "give me gas" light came on and I got grumpy and called Jimmy for help. He found where I needed to be and talked me in like I was landing on an aircraft carrier.
The
sewing machine doctor gave me an instructive lecture but promised to call the sewing machine abuse police if I missed my next tune-up and broken fingers if I went under the hood with a screw driver ever again.
Intown Quilters is bursting at the seams with every imaginable tasty bit of commercial cotton. There was a big dose of
Kaffee Fassett who seems to be channeling my colors. I was tempted by endless fat quarters of that stripey shot cotton but resisted in favor of a pattern for these
Favorite Things Happy Feet! I can't wait to see them in my own fabric.
How's that for some exciting full moon action?

I laughed at the part about being 'talked in'! I'm geographically challenged, even with map quest! Glad you found your destination, and that you have a good sewing machine doctor too! Mine's about ready to go in for a service call... been awhile! Oops... ;-> P.S. Cute shoes! Hope they come out well with your fabrics!
