My 7 yr old DGD is getting ready to move into her own house and she has been busy putting sticky notes on the things she wants to take to her place. Guess where I found sticky notes? One is on my Singer 128 handcrank and the other is on my 301. She's graciously leaving me her Janome jem. I guess I'll have to find her another machine so that she'll leave mine alone. Apparently she prefers the old machines much better. she told me that the handcrank is the best because it doesn't need electricity so it's good for the earth.

What a great idea and I look forward to watching this site. I have just bought an old singer treadle for $20.00 and it works great. I have a friend who is in some treadlers club and she put a new belt on and promptly quilted a baby quilt on it for her new grandson. I feel blessed!

I love all the news! Since everyone is talking family, here is a couple pictures of 4 of our grandsons. We had the boys for 5 days, so I put them to work making placemats using their hands as moose antler's and their foot as the moose noose! I saw these in one of our quilting magazines and thought what a cool idea!
Sorry the first picture is not real good, it was a very sunny day in a very bright orange dinning room!

Oh and I had all the boys try my 15-88 treadle and they all could sew first try! It took me two weeks to learn to treadle!

Bojangles/Nancy - Please consider putting that moose picture in the pictures section of the forum. It's adorable, and I'm sure there are a lot more people who would see it there.
