Gimbels Model 4000 found today. She is a beauty!
I walked into one of five local Thrift shops today. They were waiting for me, knew I would be in soon. I go regularly about twice a week, for exercise mainly and to pick up fabric, etc. There she was, Turq. and Cream, clean as a pin . However, they couldn't get her to work. Shes in a nice little cabinet with knee pedal. Loved her and took her as-is, no guarantee of course. Price,... a whopping $25.00! Didn't take but about 30 minutes to figure it out. She sews a very nice stitch and zigZag. Am so very thrilled to have her in my "Stable". Name, Ginny. The cabinet is plain, no dings or scratches. I don't think shes been used very much. Lovely! Made in Japan, Serial # 22739.

This quilt isn't finished yet. I love Flying geese, and use them most in my quilts. I just take 4-5-or 6" squares, cut them diag, sew them together... so easy, I don't have to mess with that extra 1/4" difference. Also, I don't really mind if they arent exactly on point, because I am older now and quilts are for family members who love me...I am lucky enough to be loved!
