I found the saddest thing at a dumpster a couple of weeks back. I guess someone had bought a seamstresses house as is, and had no interest in the contents. There was a Singer T&S, threaded, with the foot control attached, with several boxes of fabric, that was good cotton fabric, as well as some projects that were incomplete, such as a baby quilt that was 90% done. And a set of 12 quilt blocks that were hand embroidered different flowers. I gathered it all up and shared with my mother. She is the hand quilter, more so, and that much work on the quilt blocks deserves better than me machine quilting it. I kept the sewing machine. It sews really well, and it was a shame that the owner had no one who shared her interests.
