I love your Mary Lou Red Eye! My DMIL had one but gave it to a GD who can't sew who asked me if I wanted it but I didn't have the heart to take it since DMIL has passed and she wanted her to have it. It's not nearly as lovely as yours however... The ladies who owned it before you may not have sewed much because the decals and finish are beautiful!! Enjoy many years of piecing on it.
