Well, it’s here! The big day has finally arrived. Jamie Wallen is coming over this morning to spend the day with me. He will be assembling my new A-1 and showing me how to create magic! Well, I doubt my quilting will look magical, but it’s going be surreal. I still can’t believe it! I am just so excited. I didn’t sleep a wink last night. I have to admit, I’m a nervous wreck too. What if is something is wrong? What if we finally plug in my A-1 and it doesn’t work? Silly, I know. I know everything will be okay…hopefully.
I can’t say enough how wonderful Scott has been. He gave up his fishing/tool and storage area to house my new A-1. We really don’t have any other place to put it. When we finished our basement 3 years ago, we deliberately left that area unfinished for storage and his things. We have a very large family room with a kitchenette, bedroom and bath in our basement now. The bedroom is my current sewing studio. [no bed in there :-)] Unfortunately, we built it a foot too small to have my A-1 in there. If we had known then what we know now, we would have made that room a little bigger. I didn’t want a LA in the family room, so our storage room was really the only place it could go. Poor Scott. I will say it made us purge and throw a TON of stuff away we didn’t need to be saving! Scott thought we could have been featured on the show Hoarders! LOL! Initially, it was such a nightmare! Oh and the mess! Scott really did most of the work. He’s painted, put down a beautiful new floor and added my cabinets. There’s still some finishing touches that need to be done, but I don’t care. I would’ve loved it before he did all the work. I am just thrilled to have my machine. Scott is the one that’s been concerned with how nice the room is. Scott does get to keep a very small corner for some of his things. He’s definitely earned it!
I thought I would give a little peak so far…
I think I found the perfect spot to hang my “Butter Churn.”
My new saddle stool for quilting. It came with my package. It’s so comfortable. I can’t wait to try it while I’m quilting! Soon, very soon my friends…
