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!

WEDNESDAY WEIGH IN

Down 1Kg (2.2 pounds) yippeeeeee!

Started watching what I was eating and said NO very firmly to anything I know is going to undo all the hard work!

Gave in a little on my birthday - but nothing too fattening! even had a diet Coke with lunch instead of a wine!

I'll be back again soon with some sewing related items..

like - a finished dolly for Chloe
and of course the famous Ballerina Bag - I finally went out and purchased the Tulle required for the Tutu around the bag! Pink, of course!

See you soon,
Happy Sewing!

  1. Way To Go Helen!

    You may want to skip my Slack Tea Thursday post since you're being so good this week.

    And Happy Birthday! Did you keep that quiet or am I incredibly unobservant?
