So Mr Fixit comes home, I start cooking the potatoes whilst whingeing for England (and wee're talking gold medal standard moaning here). I walked past Bertha to go and bring some washing in, and try turning the wheel on my way past, still with no luck. By the time I've got the washing off the line, Mr F has gone to Bertha, turned the wheel, and guess what? Yep, it turned. So we ate dinner, then I went to try Bertha, and she purred away like a very contented machine. I have therefore managed to finish the quilt I had on the frame this morning, and taken it off, so now I'm ready to put the Festive Mystery on tomorrow. I can't do it tonight, Mo Farrah and Tom Daley need my help!
I am glad Bertha is purring...love the quilt!
ReplyDeleteOh goody, well done Mr Fixit, but do you know what was wrong (so you can avoid it happening again?)
ReplyDeleteGlad Mr. Fixit has "the touch". Better than no one in the house having it!
ReplyDeleteGlad Bertha is back up and running!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure there was more to it than a 'touch'. Glad you are up and running again.
ReplyDeleteLove that quilt. I can't get enough of starting quilts
ReplyDeleteCheers

Yay! I just love how your quilt turned out!!! You have the best color sense!!
ReplyDeleteWell, now you know what you will be doing on Sunday. Glad you're back in production.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad to hear Bertha is on the mend. Your Festive Mystery is so beautiful...can't wait to see it quilted!
ReplyDeleteGlad everything is working again. Happy quilting!
ReplyDeleteDoes Mr. Fixit have the magic touch? I'm so happy for you that your machine is purring again.
ReplyDeleteNothing better than Bertha is working again. Lovely quilt, love the colors.
ReplyDeleteI guess Bertha is scared of Mr Fixit! Sooo you were also jumping up and down screaming at the TV when Mo crossed the line then :-) Tom didn't do so bad either, that smile never left his face. Hugs x
ReplyDeleteBertha was just looking for some special attention from Mr F.
ReplyDeleteYou were wonderful to offer your help to Mo Farrah and Tom Daley. They brought you medals, too! Congratulations! :-)
