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!

HERE SOME QUILTING, THERE SOME QUILTING...

EVERYWHERE SOME QUILTING.........


Yes, I am actually quilting the farm quilt!!!!

I achieved quite a lot today, but won't be getting any done tonight, as my TV show is on... Inspector Rex. I'm afraid I'm hooked and just can't miss watching it!!

Tomorrow, my truly best girlfriend and I are going out for her birthday lunch. We are going on a bit of a shop hop and will lunch at the Redlands IndigiScapes Centre. My friend and I have been friends since we were in Grade 1 (hmmmmm .. yes, a LONG time!!).

Gotta go..... Rex is just about to start!!!

It's nearly 10pm, and would you believe, Rex was a repeat .. but I still watched him!! AND.. I don't know what's going on, but my Gallery pics have vanished from the heading in my blog - guess it's a Blogger issue so will wait to see if it fixes itself.
AND... I just sat down at the machine and thought "Oh, I'll just get in another row of quilting" but sadly when I turned the machine on, the lightbulb blew!!! Can't sew in the dark!!

  3. Ugh! I hate it when I'm ready to work and something goes wrong. What kind of gloves are you wearing in the picture to machine quilt? I'm taking a class on Saturday and one of the items on the supply list is Machinger gloves. I'm torn about whether to spend the money or not. Have fun with your BGFE. It sound like you have a great day planned.
