Faye's Sewing Adventure is Back Again...

...it's been far too long since I've written a blog post.  I have sincerely missed posting, but you know - LIFE!  I finished my high school year at the end of May.  I then made my annual transition to college life by getting use to teaching online - which by the way isn't as complicated as I thought it would be.  It's actually really nice getting to learn something new.

I kept thinking that I would sit down and write a blog post, but kept putting it off because I hadn't sewn anything new.  I finally said forget about being absent for such a long time - today is the day.

In mid June I joined my family in North Carolina for the celebration of my grandson Malachi's graduation (the youngest of four grands).  I am so proud of him as I am of all the others.  He's North Carolina A&T Bound promising to become the family's first engineer.  I believe him too!

My Janome 3022 is really a good electronic machine that I only pull out every now and again.  I actually hate switching machines and getting use to another one.
But I got my BabyLock Sophia serviced in record time with a bonus.  They replaced my automatic threader mechanism for only $12.99.  It's been broken for a long time, but when I checked on getting it replaced earlier I was quoted $169.00.  I said "no way, I'll just thread it the old fashion way".  I'm ready to get some real sewing done now and get back into the swing of things...
