Today the shop is closed so cannot even get to there to see if Wendy can fix it for me and don't want to unscrew a panel at the back in case I invalidate the warranty.
So my book remains unfinished, but not to worry as I loved doing it and want to do more. I am making more pages and then I can sew them back to back. On my way back from the hospital I called at Abakahn to match some fabrics up that I had been using over the weekend - closed - and no opening times displayed. I gave up! Now I have decided it is NOT MY DAY so I am showing you Four of the pages I have done so far - will show you the others tomorrow - it may be that there will be more stitched on at a later date or it may just be more pages - I will blog them as I get on and blog the whole thing when (IF with the luck I am having) it is finished.

Hope you enjoyed looking as much as I enjoyed making - it really has got my creative juices flowing - I just loved doing this and cannot wait for my sewing machine to get repaired and ready - in fact my mum's old Singer might just have to come out for a bit of straight stitching until this one is repaired.

Gorgeous pages, Neet - not that I am surprised either with your skill and artistry or the Artsycraft workshops! That church window is fantastic....
Look forward to seeing more.
Wow! Amazing pages so far. Good luck with your machine xx
Fabulous pages, Neet. Hope you get your machine fixed soon so we can see some more. :o)
Going to be just beautiful Neet. looks like you're really enjoying making it. Hope you get the machine sorted out quickly!
Love the book Neet and can't wait to have go at one myself. Bought a new machine myself yesterday, at least I can pick this one up without hiring a fork-lift truck, my old one weighed a ton. Not sure from your description if it is the thread that has jammed - have you tried slackening off the the thread tension to see if that releases it?
Love these pages Neet and feel your pain - I went into work yesterday to find someone had taken away my PC! Great! Anyway, get out the Singer - my nan's is still going strong and it'll get you moving with your remaining pages. Can't wait to see them. Hugs Buttons x
These are just gorgeous Neet, such a lot of work has gone into each page. Hope the machine's back in action again soon! xx
Brilliant work Neet :) hope the machine can be easily repaired so you can get back to it :)

gorgeous pages neet, hope your machine is ok, longing to see your next pages pam
These fabric pages are brilliant Neet. They each demanded a good long stare :) Normally I just glance at the beautiful crafts I see on blogs but this time, I lingered to enjoy all the details and elements that have gone into each design. No wonder you're frustrated with a misbehaving sewing machine. Pxx
Hope you soon get back to sewing you are making some wonderful things with the new machine
xxxx
Neet, your pages are wonderful - there's so much to look at on each page. I hope you can get your machine fixed soon.

Oh no and you were just getting so into it, how on earth did you manage to break your machine!!! Hope you are going back to the shop soon to get it sorted. Love all the pages but the second one is my fave even though it has a massive PINK heart on it - lol
