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!

FNWF

I have been watching the Friday Night With Friends posts on Cheryll's blog, wanting so much to join in but up until today I just felt it was too hard to commit some time to it.   Well, as you would have read in my previous post NEWFO # 1...  things will be changing here at Aunty Henny's!!  As Fred has now completed the chemo treatments, I feel there is definitely a different atmosphere in the home and I feel somewhat "released" (not sure how to explain that!)   Of course, it's early days but anyway, it's just different and therefore I feel so happy to finally link up with Cheryll and join in on the Friday Night With Friends.

So, what will I be working on I hear you ask???       Poor little Maisy's Teddy Quilt is STILL under the presser foot where I left it some weeks ago (before the horrible heat set in) so I will try and get the quilting finished on that.

Today I went out to my friend's home for a morning of coffee and chat (supposed to be sewing but didn't have anything to take!) so you could say I have also had a Friday Morning With Friends!!  Thanks Morag and Sue!!!  I feel all inspired to get into some sewing again!

Fred can have the tv remote all to himself and I will spend an hour or two in my sewing room.....  I will report in tomorrow...

Happy Sewing!!
