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!

ONE MORE!

BLOCK # 26   BARBARA FRIETCHIE STAR
photo is a bit wonky, but the block
IS a square:-)

I've been waiting for a block suitable to use the last little bit of the pretty blue fabric - the pinwheel in this block was just perfect!

This one is ALL HST's so a bit heavy on the bulky seams but it came out right on 8-1/2" square, so I'm happy!

See you soon!   need to give the old back a little rest and a hot soak in the tub!!
