This morning we are busy at it with the string blocks – this afternoon we will be working on how square triangles!
Three lovely vintage ladies are with us here today – always such a joy to see!
It may be hot hot hot outside, but we are cool as cucumbers and having a blast inside making a mess in the scraps!
I think I need to get my featherweight out and sew with her for awhile :)
ReplyDeleteShout out to Sharon Zeiner I see in the last photo! Sew on, Sharon!
ReplyDeleteThat's from Carol Campbell, Sharon!
DeleteLooks like you gals are having loads of fun. Wish I was there instead of working!!! Great looking scrap blocks!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I would love to have that hand crank! I keep looking, but haven't found the right one yet!
ReplyDeletetwo weeks ago I got a Singer 99 handcrank by ebay/Germany for 60€/79$. She is at the sewingmachinemechanic to clean the bobbincase and setting up the tension ... I hope, she will be back soon.
DeleteIngrid from Germany
Hello Bonnie, first thank you so much for your share and inspiration! I read your blog every day from France! I have also a question if you could share a post about it. I have tried free motion quilting with my sewing machine elna 2400, basic one but reliable and i would like to know from your opinion and opinions of the people you meet which machines are recommended for FMQ
ReplyDeleteHi Bonnie, Love the vintage ladies especially the hand-crank one.

ReplyDeleteLooks like LOTS of fun.....it makes me wonder why I never made JAMESTOWN LANDING? How did I miss that one! LOL
ReplyDeleteLooks like ya'll had fun . I will be ther tomorrow but I don't think I will bring the hand crank as it is very heavy but I will bring a vintage machine. See you tomorrow Bonnie! We are very excited you are here....sorry it is so HOT outside.
ReplyDeleteA Texan told me Evil One lives in He$$, because Texas is hotter than He$$!!!
ReplyDeleteBut that said, I love Texas and especially Texans!!! They are super great folks.
