The Day

The noise is loud...The boogie man???  Oh, no just Mr. O'Turtle knocking at my front door.
 I guess he came to visit Great-grandma's turtles that I saved from forever ago.  He knows we are turtle friendly in this family.
I am thinking of using the PUL I found at Tuesday Morning for snack bags.  Has anyone heard negatives on that?
Tips for working with PUL or laminate
I found this comment on the Janome user support group.  This lady said that her husband fixed up a bench in the car for when they would take long drives.  He would drive and she would sit with her sewing machine on the bench over her lap,  plugged into the cigarette lighter and sew away on their 6 hour trip.

Speaking of support groups.  I went to one for Motor Neuron disease today. I was taken by the steely resolve in the souls of others.  When I was given gifts, I think they were mostly on the sewing, thinking , feeling side.  I got the gift of gab for sure and the online fabric buying skill...but...steely resolve, I missed that...I had better check in with my mother on that one...
Since the grans swooped off poor Liberty Lawn from the design wall, I decided to work on this instead.  This was an experiment which I did not like....I can see why now...I think I have lost my touch...

The turtle is your good omen & your talisman! Develop your shell & you will go far -- it won't be easy, but you have support -- you can do it, I know you can!
Your strippy reds pulsate! What's not to love ?!?

A sewing machine in the car?! Wow!! I think Smazoochie is right , Mr Turtle is reminding you to put on a shell. I think it's really great there's a support group , they will help you. As for loosing your touch, I don't believe it. I saw those red and white scrappy zig zags and immediately thought you are really onto something great there!!

You didn't lose your touch, I love that red stripy quilt! Wish I had not read about the sewing machine in the car, that idea is not going to get out of my mind. Sewing while kids are in restraints? Awesome!
