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!

ANZAC DAY

My dad with Matthew
2007

Tomorrow is Anzac Day.  My overseas friends can read about it HERE.  In past years I have put up some photos of dad when he was younger HERE.  You will see photos of mum too!   I've always liked this photo of dad with Matt, so I'm posting this one again today.

    I love the photos. Sadly, freedom comes at a price.

    I also love the picture of your father in his uniform and that handsome Matt.

    A lovely tribute to your father as your country remembers the sacrifices made.
