My little sewing machines!

Pay no attention to the angel legs in the top right hand corner of the picture! Ha ha! I never said I was a photographer! I just thought I would take a shot of my sewing machines on a shelf in my sewing room! The top left machine is electric and works! It's a Betsy Ross, given to my older sisters from our Cousins, and then handed down to Gretchen and me! The large one I got from one of our vendors in our Painted Cupboard shop within our Quilt shop! The other two you can't see as well, but there is a cute little red toy machine, called Gateway, and the little black Singer! I'll do better shots when I get done moving all my stuff in my sewing room!

Someone asked how to get the pattern or kit, of the cute Stars, Canes and Holly's quilt I made last week! Just call the Woolen Willow at 304-375-WOOL (9665) and we will take care of ya! It goes together quickly, so you can get it done in time for your Christmas decorating or gift giving! I finally got the red binding on mine, but didn't take a new picture!
   
I was up in the middle of the night last night, and watched a cute Debbie Macomber movie with Faith Ford as the main character. It was really nice. Just couldn't sleep, and I should have worked on my log cabin quilt I started last weekend, but I didn't. I have three sides of strips to put on my 30 blocks still. Wonder if I'll get it done in time for a Christmas gift?????  Tonight is Open Craft Night at the shop, so I think I better take it with me to work on this evening, because I really think I want to give it to my husband for Christmas, along with some tools! He loves tools, and is building a step back cupboard to sell in the shop. I wonder if he'll make one for me too?
    Have a wonderful day, hopefully full of sewing!

  4. What a fun collection. I have a few antique sewing items, so need to redo a shelf in my sewing room to arrange them.

    1. Thanks Debbie!!! I keep a look out, but I don't like to pay much for them, I like to find them where no one knows they are worth anything! Lol!
