I am so sorry that you have to go through this. I am sure it must feel over whelming. Hang in there and it will get better. I'm glad you are making progress with the insurance, but you still have all the work you have to do just to deal with it. Take care of yourself and keep us posted.

Let us know if any of your books or magazines are totally ruined. I have lots of old magazines that I'll probably never look at again, and I don't earn my living as a quilter, so I'll be happy to give some of them to you if they're the ones you want/need.
Also lots of books in case some of yours are ruined. Just post a list - you'll be surprised!

It's terrible! I live in FL. too and have been through hurricanes and floods. I lost a lot of my quilting stuff to Andrew. And still more to Charlie a few years ago. Sometimes you just feel like "what's the use!" But it all comes back together, one way or another. I know how you feel and my sympathies are with you.

Do you belong to a local quilter's guild? Does someone have an extra machine you could use? If not how about "test driving" various machines at your house? My local shop let me take my BabyLoc home for 3 days before i bought it. Maybe you could test enough machines to get you thru?

I was able to dry some out before pages stuck together. Others not so had to throw them out. Lost pictures of quilts before I could burn them on CD. My Machine I took it with me when I run from the Hurricane. I pray that your machine will be fine. Good Luck
