Spit cloths

With my machine finally fixed, I could get back into embroidery again.   Extremely sad if you take your machine twice back to the agent and then receive it back more broken than what it was before with even missing screws and accessories mixed up with other people's machines as obviously I know how my machine's parts look.  Then having to pay the technician who looked after the machine the past 10 years as well to fix the mess made by the agent.  It was a very expensive mistake on my part.  And everybody is just shrugging their shoulders and don't want to man up and reimburse me or even apologize for the substandard work done.  But we all know about Karma and the people responsible for this will lose double in the end.

But, enough about that. I started working today again after a lengthy break of 5 weeks although on contract basis for the next 10 weeks only.  I am searching for a permanent post and hope to get something eventually.  All depends on our government turning the economy around though.  Otherwise I will be forced to retire early and/or search for any other work to keep us afloat. But, I leave that in the hands of our Lord and trust that He will show me the way forward.

The only items being finished the past two weeks, is 8 spit cloths I embroidered for a dear friend who crocheted the edges.  Two of them was covered with beautiful checked bias binding which I then appliqued in coordinating fabrics.





I forgot to take a photo of the last one, hence only 7.
