Hello,

Since my sister recently introduced me to quilting, and collecting vintage and antique sewing machines, it is logical to use the machines from time to time. I like my Spartans, but I decided to use my 1951 centennial 128 w/bentwood case. The 128 was made the year my wife was born and it has a neat little blue badge marking the 100 yr. anniversary. I saw a need for an extension table and headed out to the shop this weekend and with some 6/4 SYP boards (recycled) crafted the needed extension. I needed to wait for the stain to dry and I will topcoat the table with WB poly spar varnish to make sure that no stain gets transferred to my fabric while sewing. Overall I am pleased how it turned out. The project on the back wall is my second attempt at quilting. It's made from 90% recycled fabric thanks to my sister who is an avid quilter and is my technical advisor. I am now practicing making and sewing triangles using the scant seam allowance. All comments/criticism welcomed and appreciated. Hope you enjoy chow for now.
