Well of all things, if you read about my dinosaur quilt for Maverick, his great grandmother came to our congregation a year ago with her hubby and I was handing out frozen strawberries and raspberries from my stash as I usually did every year to clear out the small freezer for the coming season. I gave her some for her family and later that summer I heard she got sick and eventually passed away in August. She heard I made quilts and such so she told her husband to see if I'd like her Featherweight machine 1948. Of course I'd love to have it. I also got lots and lots of threads to go with it plus many of her clothes as we were about the same size. So that's how I got a Featherweight.
