She's a beauty! Looks like she is in great shape.
I just got one too. I think she was born in 1961 but I should check it out and find out for sure.

She is adorable. I have a similar one sitting right here in front of me, but she was born in Oct 1951. I just love sewing on mine. She does need a name though.

Mine was born in my birth year 1950 and I was born in July and Ruby is the birthstone. (rational, huh?) Haven't started calling her that though cause haven't sewn on her much to bond with her AND I'm waiting patiently on lostn51 to conjure me up a red one and of course, she may need to be a RUBY!!!

Such tough decisions to make.....:)
