My hubby got a package today. He wouldn't tell me what was in it but when I came home from quilt guild, there was a black box sitting in my craft room floor. When I opened it there was a new friend waiting inside.

She's a Singer Featherweight made in December 1952.

I think she is beautiful. Can you help me pick a name for her?

Such a nice hubby and a beautiful machine. A good name could be Midge for the size

Dolphyngyrl 04-18-2011 04:59 PM

Totally thought it was going to be a fur baby, LOL
Looks nice though

Sindy (spelled with an S because she is a Singer and she is simply beautiful). LOL. Feel free not to use it, but when I saw her that's the first thing that popped in my mind.

HAPPY DANCE TIME!!!!!!!!!! :D:D
Did your hubby get her for you?? If he did I would name her a female version of his name if that's possible!! (like Paula for Paul or whatever)
So happy for you!!

How lovely....looks like a fantastic machine and seems to have a lot of extras. Well done. What a nice husband you have.

BeeNana 04-18-2011 05:01 PM

With your state weather recently I would maybe think of something to do with the weather?

frauhahn 04-18-2011 05:04 PM

Your husband is a keeper!

Hubby knows not to get a new fur baby without me (I'm allergic to dogs). Thanks.

I was thinking along the same line. Bridget for Brian example.
DH wants one, DGC call him DA, so that would probably be his name:)
Congradulations!! she's a beauty!

Woohoo! Great gift! Betty-black Betty? Also a 40's-60's name. I wanted to call one of mine Betty, but my aunt's name is Betty, so doesn't work somehow.

Yup, hubby surprised me with it (I had mentioned that it would be nice to have one for my guild sew bees and retreats). I can't name it after him (his name is a bit unique). Thanks so much.

I believe he's a bit spectacular. I was really glad of the extras, alot I've seen only come with the machine and maybe a pedal, mine came with that, a case, and all the extras. It was wonderful.

I like that one alot. I think it might be hard to use an aunt's name.

It's a beautiful baby. I have 2 named one Lena after my grandma she always wanted one and never got one. Get this I named my other one Wanda. I had a friend named Wanda I gave it to her and her hubby gave it back to me after she passed, so I named it after her. Enjoy!!! :)

roseOfsharon 04-18-2011 05:42 PM

Congrats! A name is something you have to pick. But Midgit or Midge is a cute name :)

Cheshire Cat 04-18-2011 05:43 PM

I'm thinking Wanda

I like that you named one after your grandmother (I'm not sure I will name it after mine) and the other one has a cool name. I like it alot. LOL. Thanks.
