Another Rodney here!
Hello to all,
My name is Rodney and am 69 yrs. young. I am not a quilter, but my sister is and does incredible quilting. I collect Singer(13) and Kenmore(2) and all have been refurbished and in working order.
My oldest is a 1901 127 in a 1916 5 drawer cabinet. The newest in my stable is a 1955 Singer Spartan and my Kenmore's are late 60's. My favorite is a Singer 29-4 harness maker/cobblers machine that I rescued over in Mississippi. I like the fact that machines like these will last for several generations when taken care of. I picked up a a 1910 Singer left outside of a thrift shop, rusted and frozen solid. Two weeks later, I had it sewing. Try that with any modern machine and se what happens. My desire is to produce quilted placemats s gifts. I also have a very nice woodworking shop and make various things for friends and family. My wife said "no more furniture, no place for anything else-PLEASE!!" followed by "WHAT-another sewing machine??". I just say "yep" and keep on tinkering, avoiding any eye contact. She is truly an amazing woman to put up with me. Anyhow, I live in a rural area near Ponchatoula, La. and enjoy doing a little gardening and riding my motorcycle(51 yrs. and 300,000 + mile) and am retired and working a little part time job to support my hobbies. Thanks for letting me bend you ear
Rodney
