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!

GIFTS, LOG CABINS AND FARM YARDS!

I needed to make room on my design wall so I could put my Log Cabin blocks up there.  Maisy's Farmyard Friends quilt has been up there for quite some time, so I had one final play with the layout and then took it straight to the sewing machine! 

I was then able to put my Log Cabin blocks up on the design wall,       but I'm still unsure about the layout.  I need to buy something to use as sashing, then I will put that in between the blocks and see how it looks.

ANOTHER ART FOLDER....  a gift for a little friend in Malaysia.
Includes a sketch pad
Ballerina Bag and Art folder




Happy Sewing!!
