Pedal to the Metal

June 6, 2013August 6, 2020 Comments Off on Pedal to the Metal

 This past weekend we finally redeemed my husband’s Christmas present.  I had given him the opportunity to drive a really cool high end sports car.  The choice was an Aston Martin, Ferrari or Lamborghini.  He chose the “Lambo”.IMG_1283

My observation was that only men were experiencing the “drive”.  There were no women in the line for the car, we were just sideline cheerleaders.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then it dawned on me that our “Pedal to the Metal” is our sewing machines!!!

And I know that a lot of us have more than one machine:  we have our everyday machine that stays put, that great lightweight machine that we can take to class or retreats.  And then how many of us have an wonderful antique machine that they inherited from a family member?

So the question of the day is “What is your Pedal to the Metal” machine of choice?  A Ferrari or a Bernina?  A Lamborghini or a Viking? A Fiat or a Pfaff?

 Let’s rev up our machines and get our projects done!!

P.S. – How many of you think that Kate will sneak a skein of Scottish yarn into her suitcase while she is in Scotland?
