This time last year I did not quilt, I had one sewing machine rarely used and my Grannie's old machine collecting dust.
Now I have several quilts made, several more in the works, and am up to 4 machines! My rarely used machine has been used so much I think it needs a tuneup, I have a treadle sitting and ready to go, Grannie's old machine is awaiting a new foot pedal but is cleaned up and ready to go and yesterday I added another machine to the small herd. A white 3355...its such a pretty turquoise color too. Oh and my fabric stash is significantly larger than last year at this time too.....still small but growing. And I may soon be adding a serger to the mix. Who would've thought I'd have this much fun with sewing machines?

I'm finding that I just love the older machines....so much history in them.
