I love to sew, mainly quilts and bags. I am 66, married to Fred and have one son, Matthew, who is 27. I enjoy embroidery and applique and prefer to machine piece and quilt my projects. I love my vintage Singer sewing machines especially my Featherweight 222K. I’m enjoying treadling on my 201K Singer and I collect Miniature Sewing Machines and currently have three Essex , one Singer 20, one Singer 40, two Vulcan Miniatures and my latest, a Grain. My love of sewing I believe comes from my Grandmother - I still have the drawings she made for me to embroider on tea towels many many years ago!

AND THIS LITTLE PIGGY DRIED THE DISHES!



Trust me..... it is a pig!! Rather colourful and looking slightly cross-eyed, but a pig! another tea towel completed.

MH and I had a lovely day today..... we went down to the Gold Coast, had a swim, long walk on the beach, coffee and a bite to eat then came home! It has been a hot and steamy day so the beach was the perfect place to go! The rain is returning tomorrow apparently, so back to the sewing machine for me!! I need to piece the backing for B.B.'s farm quilt and should get it pinned ready for quilting.

Happy Sewing!

    Another cute dish towel. Warm weather sounds good to me right now. Of course, Spring does look like it is coming....with lots of rain!
