The picture of my block and my 1953 FW are on the other site but I'll post a picture of my FW here as well. I love this little FW. It's the only machine I have up here at the cabin so it gets used for everything. The only thing I've discovered I can't do is to patch bluejean legs so that will have to wait until I go back downstate for the winter. I'm not fond of patching bluejeans anyway. I have a beautiful view of the lake while I sew and when we get our remodel done this summer I'll be spending even more time watching the loons and quilting. I hope Glenn enjoys his quilt..... I'm so glad I was invited to join in on it. Nancy did a wonderful job of putting it all together and all the blocks look so cute. Everyone should give themselves a pat on the back for the fine work they did. Okay, enough talk. Here's the picture.

Mine was hand appliqued, so there is no machine to post for mine. I can't post pictures anyway, so I guess it doesn't matter after all. But I'd like to see all of the pictures of the quilt posted here too. It turned out great!!!

I didn't take a picture of my block either. I cheated and didn't use a vintage machine. Someone gave me a fairly new Brother machine and I was trying it out. Most was appl. any way.
I too have enjoyed seeing all the different blocks that were created for Glenn.

Here is the block Janis made! I loved receiving this block - it is so colorful and has [ATTACH=CONFIG]343866[/ATTACH]a school of fish instead of just one or two fish!

Thank you everyone for posting pictures - I'm sure it will add an extra dimension to Glenn's enjoyment of the quilt.
I keep seeing more details. Nancy - what a great choice of backgound, I've just noticed the hooks and fly!

Here is Anamaria's, Grayhare's, block![ATTACH=CONFIG]345055[/ATTACH]I think she hand quilted this block and I quilted with free motion outlining around the fish and her piecing using my Singer 15-88 treadle.
