This card is to honor stiz2003 (Nancy) who is one of the most generous ladies with her comments on others cards. Her cards are so great and she takes so much time for them. Here stitching is wonderful! On this card, the FIRST time I stitched, just for her, was a nightmare. It took three hours to find the old sewing machine from 35 years ago, oil it, get the motor to warm up enough to sew and then could not find the METAL bobbins that it required. I spent so much time just looking for stuff and monkeying around to make the card! I am happy with the results and WILL sew again!. Thanks to Nancy for all the inspiration and as she knows, I LOVE her gallery! Here is Nancy's card

This is the cutest card and you sure didn't forget how to sew. It looks great. For sure, you need to keep it up.

I hate sewing!!! My husband uses ours more than I do. He sews his own backpacking gear. I applaud you, your persistence in getting the machine out and doing the stitching! Great card!!!

Rita, this is WONDERFUL! I so appreciate that you went through all that trouble! I did get a little chuckle out of your description because it is always that way. Love that designer paper too and this so cute image! Thank you SO much for doing me the honor!
