A few days back, I was given the Sisterhood Award by Barb in American Samoa. (Click HERE for her blog...it's a good one and she makes SO many nice things and shows them on her blog). I was very flattered by her comments about me and very much appreciate her thinking of me when passing that award along. I noticed that in recent days this award has been making the rounds and many of the blogs I'd have nominated for it were already receiving it. The very name of this award (which Barb altered to be the Sisterhood AND Brotherhood Award so she could give it, deservedly, to one of our male quilting friends) and its spirit have caused me to make this decision. I am awarding this to ALL the blogs I read (as well as the blogs I have yet to discover). I believe all the blog writers have the same desire...to reach out in friendship to others. To me, that means that all blog writers are deserving of an award for Sisterhood/Brotherhood! I'm grateful for the many friends I've made since blogging.....and I'm sure all the rest of you who have blogs feel the same way. SO...my "sisters" and "brothers" in Blogland.....congratulations to ALL of us for making the world a happier, more fun place to be!
AND...my other good news. Remember my not-very-old (less than 7 months old) Janome sewing machine was having some serious problems and went for repair? The local (somewhat local....about 40 minutes from here) dealer/repair people sent it to Janome's main place in NJ. I found out yesterday Janome is shipping out a new machine for me as I guess mine was deemed to be a "lemon" and was still under the full one-year warranty. I am hoping this will mean a new warranty period starts with this new machine. (I'd think that would be the case, don't you?) I'll have to ask about this when the new machine arrives to the dealer and I get called to pick it up from them.

oooh.. New machine. I wonder if you will get an upgrade? you will have to tell us about it. I would be interested to see how Janome handles customer service.
And post a picture of the new machine, of course!
congratulations on the new machine. Thank godness it was still under warranty. Find out what the company says about extending that warranty. I hope it is extended but you never know.
Hooray for the new machine Pat!! Also, I really commend you for the way you handled the award. I know that I felt really uncomfortable sending to just a few when I LOVE every blog I read.

I've been surprised by the high cost of sewing machines today. Some feel like a down payment on a car. It's good to know they are taking good care of you.
a new machine!!!
how fun.
{even though your old one was a lemon.}
Congrats on the new machine..but that was scary! I have a friend who had a problem with her new Janome as well. They were able to fix it, I hope she won't find any other issues.
You certainly deserve your award! I can't think of anyone better. Smooches,
Pat
That's great news about getting a NEW sewing machine to replace the 'lemon' you had. One doesn't hear about a lot of companies doing that. I know you'll enjoy getting back to using that machine, when you get. Luckily you had a fall-back machine.
Kudo's to Janome for good customer service. A new machine should come with a full year warranty and I would certainly make sure it does...
Congrats on the award.
Pat,
So happy for you getting a NEW machine! Makes sense to me after all you been through with the lemon...;-)Have fun unpacking it and playing again!!!

A new machine! Yea! Sometimes things just work out so well. Couldn't have planned that if you would have tried! Way to go!
I agree about bloggers - we do offer a hand of friendship to all...
You deserve it Pat!! Hugs, Mary
I am so glad that your machine issue has been resolved. When did you say it was coming? I tried to comment on your blog yesterday but as usual the computer kept freezing and I was so short on time...it was my sewing group day.
thanks for the shout out.

That is absolutely great news about your machine! When my Brother embroidery machine died the same thing happened for me and I ended up with their more recent model! It was a win win for me. I know you'll be glad to have your machine back.
Hey Pat! Congratulations on the Sisterhood Award .... you deserve it!! ...and that's very nice of you to pass it along to all bloggers ... I completely agree with you on that!
...AND WOW on the sewing machine ... high 5 !!!!
...and, as always, thanks for visiting my blog and for your nice comments re: the drug bust, etc .... I'm SO glad it was resolved and nobody was hurt .... all a little too close for comfort!
