Hello and Welcome to Houston, I live in Tomball, and it's a great little town...I have my mother-in-law's treadle singer, my mother's featherweight, and now my son[-in-law found his first wife's grandmothers featherweight in their garage that he forgot he had...and I have his mothers Singer 301 in cabinet..then I picked up my white featherweight at a garage sale several years ago, got that little jewel for $25...her garage was packed, I was looking around and my toe touched something hard, so I looked down and saw the green and white box, I knew immediately what it was and ask her if it was for sale..she said "yes"... needless to say it came home with me...I had the singer treadle cabinet restored like new..and the machine painted and new decals, love it..I sold my home of 54 years in Channelview, Texas, lost my wonderful DH of 56 years 2018 and my youngest daughter built a new home in Tomball, with me a suite to myself , bedroom, bath and sewing room..I moved in April, and just now got all my sewing room done, had to wait on IKEA for my new furniture for the room..I'm just went this week and got me a birthday present for myself..got the Janome 6700 P sewing and quilting machine, wow its beautiful, can't wait to get started using it..I hope to have many more years of quilting I was 79 yrs old Aug 3rd..my mom was a quilter all my life ,lost her at age 92 in 2004, so I have all her things and lots of her quilts..lot of them are hand pieced and hand quilted..hope you love Houston, and welcome..to the quilting board...it's a great place to visit every day..
