I did it.  I bought an embroidery machine.  It’s possible that I’m in a state of shock.  I found a good deal on a used Husqvarna Viking Designer I (not the one above, think even older — when we still used floppy discs).  Anyway, after a year of research, it was finally time to pull the trigger.  I’m all jittery and excitable now and wondering how I am possibly going to get anything done until I pick up the new machine tomorrow.

In the meantime, I have one more project for you this week.  You didn’t think I would forget the picnic, did you?  I think it’s pretty ironic that this week’s picnic project involves embroidery (by hand, not machine).  I’ll have something special here for you tomorrow.
