Just curious what some of you do outside of sewing....I am involved in way to many other things, one of which is black smithing. I am in Alaska, and it does NOT have a strong pre civil war heritage and that results in there being basicly NO anvils available. To that end I was enviously commenting on a friend's newly acquired antique Peter Wright anvil.... And it struck me as to how few people would ever utter the phrase "that's a real beauty" about an anvil. It got me to thinking maybe I appreciate machines in a differing light than most .... Anyway.....I guess I am more of a form follows function kinda guy. Does anyone else find that they appreciate certain aspects of the old machines for reasons relating to other hobbies or interests. I sort of get the feeling that many of us are in this group discussing these old machines for reasons other than them being the "best" quilt maker available.
