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!

Home!

Good news!... Fred came home from hospital TODAY!  Yes, I know!!  pretty quick.  He's sort of okay - has the good painkillers to take and is doing all the right things....   has been for plenty of walks around our verandah and is doing his deep breathing exercises.

I can't believe he's actually home.  So now we begin the next phase.... recovery and then chemo.
