Earl W. PearlPublished about 3 hours ago in PoetsQuilting Mastery: Top-of-the-Line Sewing Machines
Title: Quilting Mastery: Top-of-the-Line Sewing Machines Subtitle: Precision Stitching and Control Filled with gratitude, today I delved into researching top-tier sewing machines for a grant proposal. This journey sparked a nostalgic moment as I recalled a poem I penned in 2009, featured in my book "Supreme Reign Love Redefined." Although the poem was excluded when the book was condensed, I retain the sole copy. Upon withdrawing my contract with Authorhouse, I opted to remove it. Yet, I'm delighted to share that the book has since been republished under the New York Times Bestseller, JL King. Little did I know then that I would venture into creating a lingerie line or navigating the world of grant writing. Time truly flies when you're immersed in passion.
