If we're talking politics, I decided years ago that there isn't a country that's sane enough to be worth emigrating to. Quilts and old sewing machines are a wonderful refuge from the nonsense that surrounds us.

Oh Jacquie, those are looooovely! Those are my second favorite decals, and they are both in great shape. What a score!
The top one looks very much like the one my SIL has in her garage. :? When she showed it to me recently, my heart skipped a beat. Hers was built in 1924 IIRC and somewhere along the line, it had been motorized. Once it is shipped here and cleaned up, I just may return it to its original state and learn to treadle on it.
I just think the sphinx and the lotus designs are so graceful. And the redhead too. And they sew like a dream, from what I hear. Beauty and function all in one great package. Lucky you!

Can't believe the prices you pay in the States. Sorry ladies, you are all in the wrong country.
