When th...Loved watching your interview on StitchTV! When they asked you about what you like to watch and you said you binged on Alias Grace and then you said you saw a quilt on the show and hit the pause button. Well....I was watching an old, old Wagon Train (B&W) the other day and there was a beautiful quilt in the wagon. I just about jumped out of my chair and my husband looked at me like I was nuts. It was a shoe fly design with extras - very interesting. I'm not too fast with media stuff so it's gone now, but I'll watch for that episode again and maybe draw out the pattern next time or get my phone ready for a picture. Maybe we are nuts, but we sure are funny!GooglingMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16552259778160433544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-88127426158569279522017-11-22T14:00:27.996-05:002017-11-22T14:00:27.996-05:00I am so happy to hear that you have a family heirl...I am so happy to hear that you have a family heirloom that will be appreciated beyond words.

I acquired my Featherweight ("Rose") a couple of years ago and when dating it, discovered it was made the same year my mother was born - 1938 - which makes it VERY special to me. I think of her each time I sew on Rose (I lost my mother when I was 23), and my family always asks me to bring Rose with me when we're heading their way -- usually to fix something, sew curtains, etc. Both my grandchildren have sewn on her and she's a part of our family. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family and THANK YOU for all the lovely things that you share with us!

I learned to sew for 4-H on that machine and all other machines thread "funny" for me. I have to look up in the manual how to thread them, but the FW I could thread blindfolded (except for the needle LOL). <br /><br />I remember when the airline broke your painted FW - so sad. Happy turkey day to you and yours.Karla (ThreadBndr)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15069952972112949772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-24581814758150082702017-11-22T06:12:43.289-05:002017-11-22T06:12:43.289-05:00My sister and I learned to sew on our Mom's Fe...My sister and I learned to sew on our Mom's Featherweight.When I purchased my first of many sewing machines,the machine became hers. My sister used the Featherweight up until the last few years when it wouldn't work properly. Then she purchased another machine.After 50 years the Featherweight is now back in my ownership with a promise from my husband that he will work out the kinks after the upcoming new year.I had purchased the DVD and booklet from the knowledgeable people who used to run the fix up Featherweight classes.I am so thrilled that this machine will work once more.It brings with it many memories of Mom making clothes for the 8 of us children and all the doll clothes and Halloween costumes she made. Both Mom and Dad were so creative in making the costumes.Oh the memories!!Helen S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06024736314452935908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-83060108930034744282017-11-22T01:38:33.721-05:002017-11-22T01:38:33.721-05:00Seeing your photographs of the snow on the mountai...Seeing your photographs of the snow on the mountains makes me so envious, we are just going into a very hot and humid summer here. No white Christmases for us this side in South Africa. Maybe one day before I pass from the temporary to the permanent I will get to experience a white Christmas. (Turning 60 in three weeks time) :) <br />Looking forward to my first mystery quilt, going to need a lot of help from all the ladies on the site. <br />Happy Thanksgiving to you all!!<br />Hennettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14687008762425180113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-49645408240305904542017-11-21T20:38:50.615-05:002017-11-21T20:38:50.615-05:00I just loved that interview!!

They are so funny.I also used to travel with my featherweight, only I used a 20" pull along suitcase that would roll right under the seat in front of me. Left just enough for personal things I really needed in there and it was perfect.I still use that method to get it to retreats but fill the extra space with projects and my little tool box.<br />ky quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14738301606054274078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-84373649843918061042017-11-21T13:21:16.239-05:002017-11-21T13:21:16.239-05:00So glad you are all safely home.
