So, I am into sewing again after many years not focused on it. I have to make a spring dress for my grand daughter. I have always loved to sew, and have done so for most of my life. I made most of my clothes while attending high school so many years ago. In recent years, my sewing machine sat mostly idle, as I had so many other things to do. I always called myself a "quilter want ta be", when I retire. And I have the stash to go with it. I have always visited quilting stores and buy cloth for future use. Now that I have a bit more time in my life, I have been spending more time on my machine. I have always used my 1977 New Home, I bought after I got married,(now a vintage classic according the my sewing machine repair man). This last Saturday morning I was at the Family Thrift shop in town looking for yardage that I could use for quilting, and ran into the above 1960's vintage New Home for 35.00. I just had to bring her home. She is so beautiful. She runs like a charm, just needs a bit of tension work, and she is ready to go after a good cleaning and oiling.
The third picture is one of my sister and I. We spent a day sewing when she came down for a visit. We had a great time.
Well, that's what's going on in my life these days. :)
