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!

FROM HERE TO........ ELLIOTT HEADS!

MH and I are heading up to Elliott Heads tomorrow  -   just for a few days R & R  -   see you when I get back!

I've always loved this scene from Here to Eternity...
and NO, I don't think MH and I will be rolling
around in the surf like this!!  a nice
long stroll on the sand will be good enough
for me:-))
