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!

YES, I'M A BAG LADY!


Another finish!! This bag did not come out as well as it should have. Sadly, I used the incorrect stiff interfacing and the outside of the bag has a decidedly crinkly look! If you use iron-on stiff interfacing for a bag, you SHOULD NOT quilt it!! Oh well, I'll know in future:-)

I put one pocket on the inside. I think this bag will be useful for taking to classes - it will hold a small cutting mat, ruler and all the tools! It has nice wide handles, making it comfortable to carry and it basically stands up on its own!


Happy Sewing!!
