Default My Fishy Block

My fish is a rare "Singer Fish". They are almost extinct. I made mine with my modern Bernina 440 Quilters Edition. I don't have a vintage machine that will do a zig zag, and I didn't have the time to do a needle turn.

Nancy, the quilt turned out so beautiful. That was a lot of work, Thank you very much!

Here is Anamaria's block! I had a very hard time quilting this one! I outlined the fish and the piecing!

Thanks everyone for the compliments on my Köhler cabinet. I was working on a simple quilt top with it today...she's a nice machine, for all of her rough looks!

I was wrong, btw, she doesn't take the U20 bobbin like the Singer 115....she takes a class 15...

Sneak peek at the Frankentreadle!! The "plate" the machine is on is only for rough fitting. He made the real one out of oak. I haven't seen it yet....he's doing the Tung Oil treatment on it tonite, and won't let me look!!

I went shopping today! I told myself NOT to look on the local CLings, but I didn't listen to myself. Well, I had to have this one since I have never seen one. It's a Singer 224, made in Japan. It takes cams, can be treadled, and I think it takes 15x1 needles. I'm having difficultly finding a free manual off the net, but that doesn't matter since it's a simple Singer. My son said that my command center will have to be a pentagon shape for the latest to fit in the grouping.
