Hello Jim - thank you for commenting. By the way, are you the Jim Oliver that was married to Judy and had 2 daughters, Megan and Courtney? Just wondering. So many people miss the Inn. We miss it too. Those were special years.

Darren - Can you believe how long ago this was? I am happy your family remained clear of the flu as did ours. I still make sure my children have hand sanitizer on hand while in school. I don't know how often they use it, if at all, but I hope they are! Thank you for your comment! - Susan

Hi Linda! Thank you for commenting! "Yes" it is all yours, Linda. I will pack it up securely for you and ship it to you. Simply pay via PayPal if you can (I sent you a personal message via Facebook with information) or let me know what you decide. I will determine the cost of shipping and let you know what that will be as well, but it shouldn't be much since we both live in North Carolina. I am also throwing in all the additional presser feet and bobbins and any other accessories specifically for this machine. The sewing machine is in excellent condition and you will love it! Thank you again, Linda! Susan

Thank you Mrs F with 4! You know, you can always follow along with me on one of my sewing posts ... right? Once you start sewing, hopefully you will enjoy it as much as I do. So glad you commented and hope you and your family are all doing well and staying warm! - Love, Susan

Hi Sandra! Thank you for your comment! You do know what I have been through. It is so difficult, but with God's love and prayer from family, friends, and even complete strangers, we have made it through these tough times. I am so sorry to hear of your own daughter's experience and hope she is well now. Bob is enjoying his new job and doing well. Thank Goodness! Blessings to you and your dear family, Sandra. - Love, Susan

Hi Pam! Isn't it amazing how a fabric or a fragrance can bring back memories like that? I keep these pillows on my sofa in my sewing room as a reminder of my childhood and my mother's love. She enjoyed sewing and making me things like this. Thank you for commenting and I hope you will stop by again! - Susan

It is so nice to meet you, Rosemary! Thank you for commenting on my blog. I love Northern Virginia. It is so beautiful there, although the traffic is unbelievable!! We moved to Charlotte, North Carolina because it is beautiful here and the cost of living is less than in the Washington/Metropolitan area where we grew up. I hope you will stop by again. - Susan

Hello Marcia! Thank you for commenting. We haven't decided on a name, yet, for our Bernina 730. But, I like your suggestion! I visited your site and I must say, your dolls are beautiful. I think my favorite is Alice in Colorland. - Susan

Hello Erica! Here is where you can find the foot pedal and cords specifically for your 730 Record: Sewing Parts for your Bernina 730

Hi D! Isn't it a great thread rack?!! My husband used "Best" stretcher bars (30x40) that I purchased at Pearl Art Supply online for a painting I was going to do. Then he purchased those dowels or whatever you call them - the 1/4" ones I think, for holding the thread, and a 1/2" dowel (or maybe 3/4" dowel) for the thread rack. Then he painted it all for me. I love it and it looks beautiful in my sewing studio!!
