Congratulations! I think Maggie is a great name for your Featherweight. I have a 1952 model that my daughter gave me as a backup machine. I love that Featherweight! I find that I do all of my piecing on it now. I know you will enjoy your Featherweight and you will think of your mother each time you use Maggie. Again, congratulations!

How lucky you are to be born in 1947! So was I? I recently retired and treated myself to a FW from 1947. She sews wonderfully. I have had her long enough to piece a quilt top and look forward to lots of time and opportunity to enjoy her.

I'm a 1947 model too. Worst thing about it, is that I'd like to claim to be old, but my current MIL is 96 this year, my ex-MIL will be 99 in August. My oldest cousin will be 96 in December. And the two 96ers are still living on their own. Makes me feel like a kid when I realize I'm 30 years younger than they are.
