Hi everybody,
I bought a beautiful vintage Bernina 831 a few months ago from a woman in her 80's who was moving to a senior's home. The woman was very attached to her sewing machine and she was sad to let it go, but happy to see it would be used and loved by a "new generation" (I'm 38, but I think she was thinking I was much youngerl
) She is speaking only a little english, but her daughter was there, and I exchanged a few emails with her before and after the meeting.
Well, I have seriously fallen in love with this machine. It was well looked after (serviced every year, oiled correctly, etc.) so it is a real pleasure to use. I feel grateful to have this machine in my hand.
I would like to send a little gift to the previous owner; I could ask her adress to her daughter and mail it. I was thinking of something that I could sew with the machine, so it would be meaningful. A lap quilt would be too big (I don't know where she is living now and if she would have the place). Any idea? What would you make for a elderly woman that you don't know but to whom you want to express some gratitude?
Thanks,
Annie
