Hey, I have been playing with a Row by Row kit I had. It's a 2015 kit and I bought it last year to make as a wall hanging for my fisherman son. Just got it done. Take a look:

So everyone with health issues..... I hate that you are being troubled with them. But it sounds like all of you are being very proactive and are great at managing your healthcare. Eat well (make some chicken soup with simmering greens like Sewbizgirl told us about), try to stay stressfree, and laugh as much as you can. I will send everyone good gris gris ("luck" for those who don't speak New Orleans slang) from my corner of the world for health and peace so you can heal quickly and start quilting freely sooner than later.
Happy belated Mother's Day to all the nurturers in the room!

I hate autocorrect. It's musliN obviously. Or my clumsy fingers. I think my fingers bc I just did it again. Good grief.

Muslim quality varies a great deal. I've got a gorgeous piece I bought at an LQS many years ago. It's definitely worthy of being used in blocks, not just on the back. I also have a few smaller pieces that are poor quality. I love Muslim and may finally use my good piece as a constant on a scrappy quilt I plan for the future. (But I must finish a couple of UFOs first.).

Great to hear Seesaw is getting some quilting help, she is always in the back of mind and I think of her often
Took me an extra 30 minutes to drive up north to visit my mom and sister. Drove hubby's old Dodge Ram 1500, bought a chair and we are redoing my porch cushions. To much stuff for my car. You drive that sucker, my arms feel like I wrestled an alligator but I made it safe and sound

My laptop died exactly one month after warranty ran out. What laptop has anyone had that lasted more than a couple of years?
Sewing machines are easier. Just got a Bernina 530-2 at tag sale. My repair guy was overly delightful when I brought it for a cleaning cause it's so well made and a pleasure to sevice.
But laptops are made to become obsolete. UGH

TG, I have a Toshiba laptop which seems to be about 3 years old. Perhaps older. Before that I had a Dell which was fine until I dropped it and killed it.
You scored a little GEM with that Bernina! I'm so happy for you. I have a Bernina Record 830, which is about the same machine, just a slightly updated body (by about 10 years). You will really enjoy that machine. I will never get rid of my Bernina. It's Old Standby. I used to FMQ on it before I even knew there was a name for that... up until I got my Juki quilter. Still love the Bernie, tho.

I bought a Leveno (sp) when I was in Florida and used it all the time. Brought it to Wyoming with me and will certainly take it back to Florida in October. I love it!! and I don't like laptops real well. Bought a desktop too and brought it back but it will stay here and replace an older Dell. I would buy Leveno again before a Dell or HP

Never heard of Leveno?? Do you know who makes it? I have an HP that Ive had for about 3 years and never had any problems with it. My older one was a HP also and it died after about 4 years. My sister left me a Berena when she died but my nephew didn't save the foot feed so Ive never used it. I priced one and it was $79 just for the foot pedal. Not sure of the model..I want to say 800 something. I just use my good old Singer that Ive had since 92..does great sewing, easy to clean, can do zig zag but I seldom use that. Id probably be lost with a fancier machine but would like one that does embroidery! Nice to hear what others have!
