It seemed it took forever but now that it's done I miss the job.
The reward of having something the way you made it is worth every second!

I'm from New York, so it's my true home. Near Jamestown.
Quilting board is a great place!
Hope some of you friend and sub me on YouTube it's a great place to post your projects. It's where I learned most of my sewing stuff after the trial and error.. LOL
Have a great night!

Hey there Iowa!
The Board beats YouTube for responses that's for sure. This is an awesome community. Great to meet so many nice people so fast!
I will definitely spend more time here.

Hey Louisiana,
I copied the design from a quilt I had a long time ago. When it was falling apart I looked at ti and found it was completely hand sewn. I could not imagine how long it would take to sew one like it by hand.
But I love the design and the way it is engineered with no batting.

I have OLD machines, I have a favorite Pfaff 332 for my heavy stuff, canvas, billboard tarp vinyl. I use my White 764 for my quilt and repairs, I have a few Necchi Supernovas, one in the cabinet with the chair and every last attachment and all the books and original receipt, a few old hand crankers, Jones, Kohler, and even a Russian made Jones Singer 99 clone (hand cranker)
A Singer 319K and a W, A 1912 White Treadle with most of the original manual (newsprint paper) and a few other treddle heads, a Singer Rocketeer that needs a power cord and foot pedal, and a Glenenn Machine Co Embellishment machine in perfect shape. I didn't even know what the Glennen was but it was in perfect shape so I bought it for $4. I saw ONE Once on Ebay and they were asking $599.00 for it. I have a couple others Janome, Brother, Eldredge rotary. http://www.youtube.com/user/sewingmachineheaven <You can see a lot of them there.
