jeri Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Those of you who have been following my hostage quilting machine saga. The final court date was supposed to be today. 2 hours waiting in the court room we find out the judge is "too busy" to do our case today and re-set it for Dec 18th. Needless to say I was more than hot. Couple of beers later I'm a bit calmer but not much. So on it goes for another 6 weeks. Thanks again for all your prayers and well wishes. jeri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltmonkey Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Oh how disappointing this must be for you, Jeri. I know that you only want to put this behind you and move on. Just know in your heart that the right things and right decision will come from this bad situation. (((hugs))) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gable428 Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Jeri, hang in there. This must be very frustrating for you as I am sure you miss your machine very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigletaz Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 I, too, am going through a divorce, but my dear Baxter (Freedom SR) is not being held hostage, thank goodness! Well, I hope you get your machine back soon, certainly justice must prevail for you! Hang in there, I know it\'s tough. Take care... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BethDurand Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Doesn\'t the judge know how important your machine is?! How frustrating, but I hope that it ends soon, and in your favor. Beth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsbishwit Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Obvious the judge isn\'t a quilter or even knows one personally other wise he/she would have cleared his/hers schedule to hear your case. I hope it has an ending soon and that your machine is back where it belongs, with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darlene Epp Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Hi Jeri, Is there anyway you can file a claim for loss of income? I\'m sure if your husband was a farmer, the court wouldn\'t be holding his tractor hostage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catsigler Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 What a horror story! Can you sue the judge? Fire your lawyer. This is unbelievable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeri Posted October 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Thanks, I did get my machine back about 6 weeks ago though there is no guarantee at this point that I will get to keep it. My atty says she can\'t imagine the judge ruling to give it to my almost ex. as he has no interest in quilting. I\'ve done a couple of quilts and am working on getting used to quilting again....Going through Darlene\'s Formal Feather book at the moment. It\'s so nice to be able to quilt again but I sure need the practice (grins). I will learn how to do those feathers with the bump over the tops. Was just disappointed not to have this all finished so I could just go on with my life. I\'ve felt like it has been controlled by atty\'s, the court, mountains of paperworkm and my husband for the past year. I left partly to get away from his control. Darlene, lost income has to be proven and since I did finish the quilts I had on hand using a friend\'s machine all others would be just guessing. I simply told everyone that I had no machine to work with until I could get it back therefore no estimates, no actual list of individual quilts. Those that were scheduled but not yet in my possesion also had no estimates done so therefore no actual dollar value. With no paper trail of estimates according to the court I can\'t do a thing. I was feeling very down and discouraged and took my dog for a walk just a bit ago. There is a beautiful sunset and I started thinking of others. My good friend near Dallas fighting breast cancer, my daughter\'s MIL(she\'s 48) who just started her 2nd round of chemo as the first didn\'t decrease the 9 tumors in her brain, those of you displaced from your homes in the California fires, my friend Shirley who just lost her husband. I can wait another 6 weeks for this divorce to be final, it\'s minor compared to the battles others are going through. jeri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennan100 Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Aww Jeri, God bless your heart! Hang in there, we are still praying for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltmonkey Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Awww, yes, Jeri. Sunsets are good for the soul, aren\'t they? Sometimes a long walk with a dog, a talk with God, some fresh air, and a pretty sunset are all that is needed to put us back into perspective again. Yes, there are many people less fortunate than us and dealing with bigger battles. I am glad you are being selfless. You are a good person, Jeri. Good things come to good people, so be patient and know that you will reap your goodness that is due to you. In your heart you believe that some really good, positive things will come from the really horrible situation you are going through, now. That what does not kill us makes us stronger. Women are strong and have such big backbones. We are survivors. You are going to survive and it will make you a better human from this. Aim high onward and upward.

Beverly Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Just think. In about six weeks you can say, "Been there done that don\'t want to go again and I have the Tee shirt to prove it." -- Hang in there and know that every one here has you in their thoughts. Keep us posted. Beverly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
