Not Finished Quilt…But I use It !

From The Quilt Ladies

I hate to say, but, I use this quilt and it’s not finished...
it’s been SO long that is SO flat

I even put the binding on it,

because it fits a table I have and having it on it makes me happy. It measures about 40″ x 40″

It’s machine pieced

and Not hand quilted YET !
Some day??? Maybe??

I’m showing the back, it’s been washed a number of times, I use a 1/4″ seam allowance always, you never know what your quilts will be doing for you.

My First Quilt

From Quilt Days Past, First Quilt

This is my first quilt

In the early 80’s we moved to Burlington, Iowa, it’s in the southeastern corner of the state on the Mississippi River and yes, I learned how to spell Mississippi.

I had done some blocks, some pillows and then I saw in the paper a class being hosted by the local quilt group. I remember it being expensive and how I agonized over it for days. but, finally signed up.

The teacher was “Liz Porter” at the time she worked for one of the magazines, Better Homes maybe, but is was a wonderful day and I learned so much.

It was a color class which meant nothing to me at the time, looking at the quilt today I didn’t get the whole idea. Liz brought letters to add to each quilt to identify, I used my initials.

Hand quilting was so relaxing to me, I had no frame, just a dining room table, pinned it very well and quilted. I checked out library books on how to do everything. The quality of books we have now is crazy different from then.

I was approached to join the quilt group after the class. I think I was a rarity in the group a “new” member. I remember being laughed at when they saw my round corners on the quilt. I love these corners.This is my quilt, I curl up under it daily, it’s washed all the time and it’s just over 35 years old. It’s never looked better to me.And, if you are in the group in Burlington, IA. I’d love to hear from you ! ! My e-mail – thequiltladies@gmail.com

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
