I DO however 'now' collect vintage/antique sewing machines. I have FOUR now, and getting another on Saturday. To be fair though, I have duplicates because I purchased two of the machines for different reasons. One just to get the cabinet, and one just to be the 'donor' machine for parts. I also seem to collect patterns. Like as in 1000's of sewing and quilting patterns.

For crazy quilting, besides fancy fabrics, I collect lace, trims, buttons, beads, sequins, ribbons, charms, books-lots of books- and lots of threads: silks, linens, cottons, wools, chenniles, rayons. Any anything that can be sewed down onto my fabrics! And yes, you have to be organized to find it all!!!!
