Yesterday I treated myself to a visit to my favorite LQS. As I walked in the door, the owner was there and let me know she had a surprise waiting for me: a gift certificate from my mother! I went through the fabric, notions and patterns and found loads of goodies to celebrate including a much needed replacement pair of Machingers quilting gloves.
My first pair were purchased almost 3 years ago and had obviously gotten a lot of use and abuse. The finger tips are nearly black, the wrist bands stretched out and the one hand has a hole which kept getting snagged on my sewing machine causing it to get larger and larger. And even after several washings, I hadn't realized how pathetic they had become until they were next to the newly purchased pair! Its just a matter of time until the new pair will look equally worn and used as I have a stack of quilts waiting for quilting to break them in...
