    QuiltingVagabond: I got the Bernina Q20. It came with a beautiful Koala table.

    Didn't know that, but Sis, Mom and I chatted about Mom and Grandma's machines in our weekly internet chat!

    What a marvel the sewing machine is. The one I have that blows me away the most is my 1908 Singer model 66 treadle. It's so well made and beautifully broken in. It goes "tickety, tickety, tickety" when it sews and sounds like music! The bobbin winder reminds me of precision clockwork. It's one of my precious treasures!

    I was watching "Quilt Cam" and sewing with my Singer 15 treadle. I was sewing the latest blocks from Bonnie Hunter's "Addicted to Scraps" article in Quiltmaker magazine.

    On National Sewing Machine day I spent my day at my 1910 Singer Redeye Treadle tick, tick, ticking away. I am working on a chevron strip quilt. That day I completed the strips and am now ready to quilt it. I am planning on doing it on the treadle using a quilt as you go method. I own many machines and sew every chance I get but I always keep a project going on my treadle. So relaxing.
