I have some lovely embroidered items my Grandmother made...she lived in Holland and came a few times. I would have loved to have her sewing machine, but no one knows what happened to it :-(.<br /><br />I saw a couple of those Singer vacuums at auction sales, but where do you put the stuff!! Very tempting though. I do have two Singer irons in my sewing room on display. Found them at yard sales over the years.Jacqui's Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04377061976067861699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-79032898159932306382012-12-26T10:52:46.531-05:002012-12-26T10:52:46.531-05:00My husband and I have not exchanged Christmas gift...My husband and I have not exchanged Christmas gifts for many years, but this year he surprised me with a Singer featherweight! I had talked about getting one but had never done it. Our local repair person had one that she fixed up and cleaned, so the price was not like at a thrift store. But it has been well kept and sews nicely, so I will use it this afternoon during quiltcam. I think it is from about 1960. <br /><br /> I also have a 301a that I bought when I started college in 1956 that I thankfully did not trade in when I bought my next machine.

Got all my strip scraps cut and put away and most of my little scraps are cut in squares. A few more hours today and the scrap bins will be empty.

I don't go out to shop again until the 2nd or 3rd week in January. By then everyone is back at work and school! Don't shop on the weekends either. I'm too old! LOL! <br /><br />This sewing box is nice! I use one my DH's Uncle made his wife. When she died, it was one of the few things I wanted of hers. <br /><br />Keep getting more educated by you Ms Bonnie!Luannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03134385961532170286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-73257053524226343822012-12-26T08:35:49.908-05:002012-12-26T08:35:49.908-05:00My GM sewed on a 301, which my aunt has.

So I really have no historical items. I will have to show pictures of that box to my brother who works with wood. I am sure he could make something like that for me if I asked him nicely :) Then I would have a special historical item to pass on for the future.HelenMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17945119739531584638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-63424378975002303272012-12-26T08:34:51.039-05:002012-12-26T08:34:51.039-05:00If you have four of the five, you could get the fi...If you have four of the five, you could get the fifth and finish your "collection".

When my old iron bit the dust, I researched www.consumerreports.org and found that the Singer iron was very highly rated and available at a good price at Wal-Mart ... so I now have a Singer iron. ;-)<br /><br />That sewing box is BEAUTIFUL.
