It’s Sewing Machine Day !

Happiness in Seeing it

Today is National Sewing Machine Day and I had to get it OUT ! I knew it was in the closet and seeing it again…just makes me HAPPY! It’s been a very long time.
I had to say good-bye to it’s original box years ago and this carpet bag is perfect for it.

A Singer Feather Weight

My mom gave this to me years ago and I used it for classes for years.

She tells the story. This sewing machine was the first thing that She and my Father purchased together. She remember it being around 70.00 dollars. If they did it on payments my Grandfather would have to co-sign. They saved and purchased with cash, she said with a very large smile.
The pedal was replaced sometime ??

It works wonderful

And So Pretty and Makes me HAPPY

Home and Not Starting too Quick

Star Quilt Patterns for YOU !

We took a fantastic vacation, returned home, laundry, sleep and re-entry to the real world.

I had visions of posts and ideas…..BUT mother nature had another thought ! Our condo building was hit by lighting, after we returned (Florida’s the lighting capital) it hit our cable, internet lines and blow my PC Computer, printer and TV cable boxes.

Off to the repair guy…. not repairable, off to get my laptop and thank goodness all was able to be moved to it…. I had a lot backed up on USB, but of course not everything…. I hope to get back into a schedule here again, the hard part is finding everything…But, that will come too ???? in the mean time !

Here is a page for a few of my Star Quilt Patterns
