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!

  2. I just read about the reason behind these bags. What a great cause and how lovely of you and your friends to pitch in and do something to help.

    Love the fabrics you've used on both bags too!

    You're quite amazing Helen.

  4. My quilt group and I do these. We also make heart pillows for the breast cancer patients. I am a breast cancer survivor and I received one of our pillows when I went through my treatments. I can tell you these are really appreciated by the patients. Thank you for doing this. Hugs, Linda
