A little lightheartedness …

“Some ladies I know like to sit and to sew

And spend all the day just in stitchin’

With needle and thread, lots of fabric instead

Of spending more time in the kitchen”

Ray Cocker [my wife’s a quilting teacher]

Do you think this gent, who had this poem published, was sending his wife a message ?  🙂

Ray also has a collection of antique sewing machines some of which he found when travelling with me to interstate teaching assignments. He has sometimes found them in very poor condition and he has completely renovated them bringing them ‘back to life’ so to speak.

Why ?  He said he wanted something in the house that was older than him.
