NEW LAPTOP TODAY! 01-19-19

I apologize for the silence, but my laptop died completely and I could not figure out how to blog on my phone.  Today I picked up my new laptop from Micro Center, hopefully with all the programs I need already installed.  But now I must begin the download from my backup provider, Carbonite.  I have had to do this once before, but it has been five or six years ago.  I have not been faithful about deleting files, so the download (or is it upload?) will take at least a few days.  But I don't know how to function with Word 10 anyway, so I probably won't be able to post very soon.  

While all this is going on both of my Pfaff sewing machines broke down and have been in the shop.  If you should need machine repair, I highly recommend Sew n' Vac in Long Beach.  Worth the drive and it is a charming shop that has been there for forty years.  Just put this address in your GPS  1762 Clark Ave, Long Beach, CA 90815  562-498-6684.  And take some time to browse the interesting notions and feel the nice selection of fabric.  
If you need a lunch spot try Katella Deli, 4470 Katella Ave, Los Alamitos, CA 90720
562-594-8611   www.katellabakery.com   It is a very popular spot, so if it is lunchtime you may have to wait for a table, just go browse the fabulous bakery.  It is impossible for me to leave without a Katella Bakery box in hand.  

Once I get Carbonite working I need to set up my repaired/serviced sewing machine and get busy on this quilt.  I have completed the background, not just this sky, and am eager to get quilting.  There is a deadline and with my usual style I am pushing it!

Oh dear! I can't imagine having 2 sewing machines and my computer out of action at the same time. Nice to hear you are on the road to have all of them operating. Gayle

Welcome back! It was a lovely surprise this morning when I clicked my Del blog button and here you are! I'm sorry you seen to have so much trouble with laptops perhaps they are not equipped for you great graphic needs! I'm still on my old PC with repairs now and again (help with Windows 10) I get along reasonably well. Again, welcome back. And, now to the Pfaffs! Happy quilting!
