 Joan was indeed surprised, but she loved it, and to this day, she has it on display in her living room, draped over the back of her sofa. Mission accomplished. I put that cheap sewing machine away, never to be touched by me again. Out of sight, out of mind. A couple of years later, my son Tim passed away unexpectedly. This time, it was me who came across drawers full of t-shirts. Tim's two children, my grandkids, were ages eight and two at the time.
