my mom was super fussy about her things, and a perfectionist. i inherited her machine, and it is in perfect condition. imagine my delight, when i was going though my father's workshop, several years later when he passed, and found that he had his own sewing machine down there, so he could do a quick fix on his pants or shirt, without getting mom worked up about things being "perfect". so her singer has a partner, now-- a white that is solid metal, and like lifting a cement block when i move it. the machines are like the owners--hers, perfect, elegant, complex. his, heavy, earth-bound, simple, serviceable. (he was a machinist and tool and die maker/farm boy. she was elegant, a "numbers cruncher", and a perfectionist.)
your machine and memories will give you much joy to balance any sorrow you may feel. it is amazing to "feel" their lives when we own and use these machines with a history...

I hope you have a great weekend. Keep busy sewing. Sorry for your loss and the problems it has caused in the family. It only takes 1 to really cause the turmoil.
I did smile though when I read her name was Virginia and your calling her Ginny. Thats my moms name too and alot of times she goes by Ginny.
Would love to see your Ginny.
Hugs. ;) :thumbup:

Memories are wonderful,cherish them, so sorry for your loss, i miss my dad every day, he died in 1995, his second wife and her son took my dads stuff, a lot were his guns, one was his bebe gun bought from the sears catalog. I am still bitter about that, but can do nothing. This is the same son, that took his moms money and spent it all and left her nothing.
God Bless
