So on Saturday as I sat sewing my guts out getting ready for Fall Quilt Market. My Sewing Machine decided to not sew. It stopped and refused to start. So I patiently took the whole thing apart and oiled it and cleaned it and put it back together. And miraculously it still did not sew. So on Sunday I tried again I oiled it and took it apart and put it back together and this time it worked it Unknownnoreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3145346984146198495.post-18791135917216372872010-09-08T21:43:00.004-06:002010-09-08T21:57:42.853-06:00Why, oh WhySo you know I have 5 kids.

Llewellin Setter puppies. Oh man are they cute. They are a little bit of a rare breed. You see my maiden name is Llewllyn. It is Welsch. These Setters are the only true breed of setters left in the world.
