... as Chatterbox used to say. According to him we also ate chinken. Don't you just love the words that children use? We have quite a few that we still use in our family. Mrs Nomad, for example, used to refer to elbells instead of elbows, and shomin bags rather than shopping bags.
Anyway, I'm digressing. You are all agog to know what is bronken, aren't you?
This is my poor PCQuilter, which no longer works. This is the robot that Big Bertha sits on, and it drives her around my quilt so she can work her magic on it. Anyway, I finished quilting Friendship Chains and then put another quilt on the frame. I told the PCQuilter what to do, and it just refused! I told it again and it refused again. How rude! I tried it goodness knows how often, but it showed not the slightest inclination to do what it was told. So Mr Fixit came to the rescue with technical things like screwdrivers and meters, and, after poking around, he pronounced it bronken. It can't be mended.
Oh no. Disaster. What to do now? Well, luckily there is an alternative, so I have bought that (ouch) and am now eagerly waiting to hear from the company that my new toy has been shipped.
Then I can get back to quilting that pile of unquilted tops that I have amassed.
Sue how long have you had your PC Quilter?? According to the website, it says it should last 10-20 years!!!
ReplyDeleteOh no...I hope Mr. Fix-it can do his magic quickly when the part arrives. Good luck with everything!
ReplyDeleteI hope the new one is delivered soon since you are on a roll with your quilting. I guess you are just going to have to do some piecing until the new toy arrives.
ReplyDeleteNot good at all. Not at all. Too bad. I am sure that Stephen could have fixed it if he'd been there. He seems to think he can take apart anything and fix it.
ReplyDeleteLooks bronken to me. Alternatives are good. Oh, and Ms Cha Cha took one look and said she was innocent. Happy quilting.
ReplyDeleteAck! Hope the new one arrives quickly.
ReplyDeleteI hate it when things break down. Glad to hear there is a replacement on the way. Good luck with the learning curve on the new toy er... quilting tool.
ReplyDeleteInterested in seeing what your alternative it. I have a feeling it is something really good!
ReplyDeleteOH NO!!! Isn't' that the way it goes?? Happens just at the worst time ever, but is there a better time? Wonder what your new toy will be??
ReplyDeleteNo fun....sorry!!
ReplyDeleteSorry that your PC Quilter is terminal but a birth will be arriving soon best of luck with it
ReplyDeleteHugs Janice
So sorry to hear of this "little" (I know it feels big) disruption to your quilting progress but it will smooth quilting soon. Enjoy the new "toy".
ReplyDeleteHave a super great sewing and stitching day.
Well, if Mr Fixit says it's bronken, then it surely is. What a shame and hardship for you to have to buy a new toy ;o). I hope this is a new and improved toy, we're keenly waiting to hear the details ...
ReplyDeleteBoo, to bad. Love the idea of a new toy though.
ReplyDeleteI love "kid talk"! My family has its own unique language, too! Sorry to hear about the broken machine!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pity! I'm sure you'll love the new one! Some words are just hilarious and we have some in our family.
ReplyDeleteI bet it was an ouch! Hope it works really well.
