Do you ever wonder if people really look at your work? My husband and I restore sewing machines and I need to be inspired at times on things to demonstrate their handling abilities. Since ever piece is a one of a kind that goes with the machine to the buyer- whether on ebay or private I need to constantly be thinking through these. Below are two recent appliques done for machines that just sold on ebay. The inspiration for both of these came from portions of quilts that others on this site have graciously shared and have inspired. The pumpkin was done on a 1950s Singer 201 using metalic thread and sewed like a dream which was somewhat surprising for a machine not designed with that application in mind. The cats were on a 1950s Singer 319 which was fun to play with, had I had more time I would have loved to use a variety of the decorative stitches the machine was capable of. Well, on to another applique and a new machine- always a new project -thanks for the inspriration
