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!

  1. I love all your projects. Of course I love the twister. The colors are great. Do you ever wish you lived closer to someone, so that you can share sewing and friendship. You are that to me.
    Have a great weekend.

  10. Hi there Helen! You have a lot of fun projects going on here! Thanks for stopping by my blog. I'm having a lot of fun with the zakka along, especially because the projects are mostly quick & easy but not necessarily exactly what I would make, so it's getting me out of my comfort zone a bit. I just found a bunch of linen pants at my local thrift store for $2 apiece and washed them and promptly cut them up for some of the upcoming projects ... it's a tad more affordable than linen yardage ! :)
