I had originally planned to toss it back to Good Will, but now it looks kind of cute with its part yellow color - but I can't find anything about it. I know its a Riccar, serial number JA3 724667, says Made in Japan on it. I can't see any model number and I have no idea if it's worth keeping or if I should throw it back.
Looks like a singer 15 clone. I have a Riccar that was made in the late 70-80's and I love it. Mine is not a 15 clone but that is my go to machine for electric FMQ

What spices do you put in the bread. Is your recipe in the recipe section of QB?
Also, thanks for you post on the killdeer bird. I looked up youtube videos on this bird since I have never seen one. Now I know what one looks like and how they act.[/quote]
I call them "tee tee" birds (don't exactly know why, just do, and always have). I used to chase them on the Seashore here in Louisiana. I love to watch them. With the loss of marshland, last year we had a family in the yard where I work. It was too cute to see the little ones (really, really small) grow up. Love them!

Remember, I was given a Touch and Sew in a very nice cabinet for free (from the same neighbor). I recently sold that machine (I think the gal picking up the machine was only interested in the cabinet). Well, the money from that sell went into making this quilt. The pattern is the 'Plain Spoken", and every time I look at this quilt the song "Somewhere Over a Rainbow" comes to mind. This quilt was made using the Eldredge Two Spools for piecing, Singer 201 for quilting, Davis NVF for binding, and Singe 328 for decorative binding stitch for finishing off the quilt. I love recycling and pay it forward!

Nancy, I'll have to take some photos soon...have had the builder and his tradies working here and they like to be a pit* so no chance of doing anything like photos while that's going on.

What is "they like to be a pit* so no chance of doing anything like photos while that's going on."? Would you explain?
Thanks,
Lauren
