I really need to stop and shorten that thing so I won't have to cuss at it so much.
Thanks,

I just started on two long scraps and kept going with no mind for seams until I figured out the rhythm any old fabric will work once I figured it out I tried seams. I did all my practice on scraps

Hi!
The past week I have been out sick too with a nasty cold that has settle in my lungs. I been drinking my tea, eating my chicken noodle soup, and using Vicks. Just read about putting the Vicks on the bottom of my feet, so I will give that method a try tonight.
Billy I have read all the pages to this thread and enjoy reading it daily (just didn't do it earlier this week since I felt like crap).
Nancy, Your cabinet is gorgeous! You and your husband did an excellent job bring the beauty back to this cabinet. Gorgeous, simple gorgeous!
Purplefiend, Sharon, sorry to hear that you had bronchitis, no fun there. Just be careful in the future with colds settling in the lungs, you could be susceptible to bronchitis again.
To all the new folks sharing their wonderful stories on their great finds, congrats on your vintage machines and welcome.
And to everyone else, hope you are all having fun sewing your special quilts with your vintage machines. I think I can hear the sounds of treadles busy at work, beautiful sound.
I hope to be finishing my project this weekend; I'm missing my treadling.
Off to bed for me now with Vicks on the bottom of my feet this time.
