Getting ready to fly

We will be flying home on Friday! We will be flying back to Romania the following Saturday so next week will be very busy for us. I love going home, but I don't like the fact that it takes 20 to 24 hours to get there. I don't like waiting in airport lounges, but that is better than having to run though the airport to catch a connection. We usually fly through Amsterdam and then Detroit or Minneapolis so there are waits in each of the airports before we get home to Green Bay.

I will pick up several UFOs from home and bring them back with me to Romania. We purchased a new sewing machine last weekend. It has 16 different stitches and is bigger than the one that I brought with me. I have had to use a transformer with the one I had because of the power in Europe is different than that at home in the States. The manual for this machine is in Romanian so I sent a little prayer of thanksgiving for pictures which allowed me to thread it. It sews very nice and is quieter than the one I was using. I still need to experiment with the other options because I can not read the manual and a search on-line did not provide any help. As you can see from the pictures my space for sewing is very limited, but I am thankful that I have any space at all. I can't imagine not being able to sew while we are here. We have 2 lap tops and a printer/scanner on the table that seats 4 so it is pretty crowded. Yes, that is the quilt top that I have been working on and should have completed already. I must be the worlds slowest quilter! I am also posting a close up picture of my machine so you can see the color. It's purple, my favorite color!

until next time
God Bless you and keep you safe
