Crossstitcher,
You made a beautiful and fun Halloween table quilt. A blue ribbon too!

Love the blue ribbon quilts! Sharon I have a machine like yours in the same cabinet and I used to have your recliner too!lol. I haven't pieced a quilt on mine yet but it is running nicely. Got it a couple of months ago.

Sewbeadit,
It took me a bit of getting used the hand wheel going opposite of what I was used to. I really like sewing with the White Rotary, its a lovely machine. You have good tastes in machines and recliners.

Bertie had to have his bobbin area cleaned and tension re-adjusted before we could get this done. I guess I left him alone too long. His Christmas bento box top is done. We threw some solid yellow in just to be different.

You can't beat an old sewing machine that has a treadle on it. Wow! that topper is so cool. I love it. I would love to see the pattern you used, but I think from how the star is made, you sewed some strips together, cut the squares into triangles, and arranged them accordingly, then sewed them together again. Lovely. I love to kinds of things that bring history to life. That is why I got into quilting to begin with.

This is a string chevron quilt I made on my 1910 Singer 66 treadle. The strings are paper pieced. I tried doing them without the paper but could not get the right Chevron shape. After sewing the fabric into strips I then used the piece as you go method quilting each strip added, in the match stick pattern, before adding another strip. It was quite a handful but was so fun. I just love sewing on my treadle.
