I've never been good at sewing. My mom tried to teach me but with little success. One time my high school boyfriend ( now husband) brought his ski pants over for me to fix. Long story short.. I ended up pouting upstairs while mom taught him how to sew! I tried to learn again when I took my daughter's Girl Scout troop to sewing lessons. Every time the girls made a mistake they declared "whoops I just did a Donna" - which of course meant they made a mistake!

I went with my sister to shop for a new sewing machine today because she is an accomplished quilter. I had no idea that you could spend $7,000+ on a sewing machine! For that amount of money I expected to see a slot where you slide in the material, push a button out comes your completed project -or at least a steering wheel! I wonder if I had one of these top level machines I would become an award winning seamstress....nah..I'd probably end up pouting on the couch with a very empty wallet!
