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!

WELCOME TO THE NORTH POLE

I have joined Val and a lovely bunch of ladies for this sew-along.  I must have had this book in my cupboard for about 15 years!  This sew-along will finally make me do something with it!


The goal for January was to have our fabrics chosen ---  I have started going through some of my Christmas fabric but I think I'll move into the scrap box soon too.....

I will be using the blanket stitch fusible appliqué method instead of needleturn.  I see Val is doing machine applique and it looks great.....  I might throw in some sketchy machine appliqué as well!

Today I scanned the pattern for Santas House and have it all printed out ready to start tracing - now to just decide on fabric......

Happy Sewing!!
