I love Plain Jane's name, but I think she has her own talents and beauty. Just look at that face plate! I am so glad you took her home and adopted her. You got an incredible bargain. I know she is happy to have been matched with someone who loves her and knows how to take care of her and enjoy her! She still has lots of life and service to share. We are sisters of the same realm! There's always room for one more vintage lady. We have been tasked with preserving these amazing machines.isewdoyou\https://www.blogger.com/profile/12048267959368769664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-85018473193068625842015-12-20T10:12:56.128-05:002015-12-20T10:12:56.128-05:00Quilts are wonderful.

I also have an addiction to collecting old machines - mostly because I like to clean them up and get them working to rehome them. I was lucky enough to find "The Old Lady" my oldest machine with a birth year of 1889. I couldn't pass her up for $20, and she came with a beautiful cabinet. I was afraid someone would buy her, rip her out of her base, and throw her out - just to reuse the cabinet for decoration. She hasn't been cleaned up yet, but I will get to her in the spring. I'm so sorry that most my collection has to reside in the 55-degree tack room which makes it difficult to use them in the winter. The rest have been cleaned, admired, and covered when not in use. Looking forward to using my hand crank machine ("Cranky", which she isn't) that I found a case for this past summer. It was amazing to find such a narrow case which fits fits her perfectly. If anyone is in New England and wants a new (old) machine I have several that need new homes.Debbienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-89709300722026806842015-12-20T09:34:49.030-05:002015-12-20T09:34:49.030-05:00How cool that you found this machine so easily!
