    Another amazing quilt, it is beautiful. Great story about the featherweight-guess heads-up penny works.

    Someone didn't know they were throwing away a wonderful machine. I really like your quilt.

    Your nephew is a keeper. I can't even imagine finding a Featherweight on the curb. Now you are going to make me a trash gal. "smile" And, your quilt is gorgeous. Glad to see you posting again.

    The quilt is lovely! The FW is a story that made me gasp as I read it. What a delight. Many years of sewing from that little gift.
