I didn't do any quilting yesterday. That was a day to get a new vintage machine, a lovely 1950 Singer 201-2 in a very nice cabinet. I am so happy and I now feel like my collection is complete. I had to finish working on the cabinet for the 301 that was given to me, so I did the 201-2 as well. Then had to carry them both up 14 steps to my main living level. I was too beat after that to quilt, I didn't want to mess up being too tired. Here is my newest little beauty:

This morning I woke up ready to sew! I finished quilting the wall hanging on my treadle machine, so now all that is left is to square it up, make the rod pockets, bind it, and hang it. This is exciting, it should be hanging before the end of the VQW.

Here is a question for you all, since the quilted lines are all running through the piece diagonally, do I need to run a line of stitches around the perimeter? I have never done a piece this size and I want it to hang nice.
