Loving seeing my little county in the middle (Nelson) all lit up in blue, right next to our neighbors in Albemarle/Charlottesville. We are a rural county of only about 13,000, and the MAGA here are vocal and active. Nevertheless, we had a great turnout this time around!

If Vance weren't next in line... {{{shudder}}}

Aww, thank you! It's getting there day by day, both the finger and the quilting. ☺️

Right there with you!

Indeed, that is very helpful! Well, repetition legitimizes. You will get it! 😊👍🏻

It sounds like it will be well worth the effort, though. A serger/coverstitch is on my bucket list of next things, so I am mildly envious. 😍 You definitely have a gorgeous main rig! 💙

My first sewing machine that was "mine" had bern given to me by my grandmother, a 1956 Riccar. She had been a tailor and had used it prodigiously until 1989; and then I used it until 2008, when I gave it to a collector friend when I couldn't repair it anymore. My Juki TL is now my main rig. 😊

Oh, she's a beaut! 💜 ... The white 60s model is still n my list if I see one come up someday.

Thank you! She really is. 🥰

Oh my LIME! My favorite color and my favorite flavor, wrapped around that lovely package! What beautiful work! 💚

It's a bitch, but a surely gorgeous bitch. 😍 Beautiful work!

Thank you!!! I think the natural stiffness of the batiks really helped me. 😊

Yes! It's taking up a lot of brain power, I admit. Weekly blocks are quite the distraction from the big projects that I'm trying to work on, watch the start! But I am having fun with it. I don't get many opportunities to really crush on batiks.
