It took me two days to make this card
It took me two days to make this card because my sewing machine broke. My faithful sewing machine which helped to make five large quilts, four sets of curtains, a handful of summer dresses, and countless cards. It was my first sewing machine that my dear husband gave to me for my birthday, eleven years ago. So, I replaced it with a Brother computerized machine. I was tempted to spend big bucks on a Bernina or some sort of fancy schmancy machine, but I don't have to the money to do that, right now. The new machine is pretty neat, but it takes some getting used to. This card uses stamps by Magnolia (Tilda and wooden fence) and High Hopes (flower border). The polka dot paper is by Bo Bunny Press. Thanks for stopping by!

Ethel it's so worth two days---your coloring is lovely and the stitching came out great!
You inspire me in everything you do Ethel. This card is perfectly lovely, but when it comes to sewing with a machine, it is a big no no for me. Thank you for sharing your many talents
