I piece all my quilts on a Featherweight.  My parents gave me this machine when I was a young girl and she was used when I got her.  I.love.this. machine…. she is like one of my kids.  I should have shined her up for a photo, oh well.

I actually have four of these hard workers including the one my Dad gave my Mom when they were married in 1956.

I do all my quilting on my Bernina and she is a dream to sew with too! I’m working on my Chubby Stars quilt a long with Fresh Cottons by Fig Tree Quilts.

Lots of ironing and careful piecing in this quilt.

I feel like I’m finally coming down the home stretch.  I started it back in August but then took a few months off for the holidays and piecing all those chain blocks.  There are 48pcs in each chain block….yikes.  I’m going to add a red polka dot border all the way around the outside edge.

I had these old lamps packed away for so long and I love them so much I decided to put them in my sewing room, so glad I did.

  1. What is that red and white fabric hanging on the right in the next to last picture? Are those curtains?? LOVE that fabric! :)
    I used my old Singer for everything until two years ago when my husband surprised me with a new Pfaff. :)
