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!

CHRISTMAS IS THE TIME OF YEAR............

CHRISTMAS 


My Mum and our Matt



Christmas 2006
Sadly my Dad is no longer with us.  He and I always enjoyed fresh
oysters on Xmas Day



CHRISTMAS IN SAMOA

I'll be adding some "OLD" Christmas photos to this page... this first one is in American Samoa.  Our tree is actually the top of a Norfolk Island Pine Tree - I made the yard boy climb up and cut it off!  and I did this every year we were there!!  the tree always had a nice new top for our xmas tree each year :-)

I'll add some more photos when I find them - as usual... my photos are "somewhere" in a box and I'm sorting thru them!!
