Awesome!! But what took her so long? lol
|
That is really sweet of her to even think of giving it to you.
|
Wow, what a generous sister. Post pics when the new ladies come. I don't know what a Sphinx or a Redeye is, can you educate me?
|
What a great visit with your sister! Please post after you stop doing the Happy Dance.

My daughter is not interested in either, would you like one"? Oh goodness, I had no idea she had those machines or that she even sewed anymore. I am hoping that she will be bringing me one on her next visit. She said that she has not looked at any of them in a long time. Whoo Hooo for me I hope.:D
It is a shame when the young do not appreciate the old machines. doglover |
Can I have the one you don't want? hehe
My sister got my grandmother's "white" treadle that she used until the 70's and got rid of it because after it set for a while "it didn't work". But she also didn't sew and had no interest in it. I found this past summer that I have the manual to that machine with the date my grandmother bought it. 1917 before she was married. Oh, well. It's gone and I have others to enjoy instead. :) |
My sis told me she would leave me our great-grandmothers treadle in her will. Thanks, I hope I outlive her but probably won't get to enjoy it much.
Glad you get yours now. |
They are both such beautiful machines!! Very happy for you :D
|
You can post them for sale, they will go to a good home. I would love a 301, but Kentucky is far from Delaware. My dd's and dil do not quilt, but one featherweight is with my one daughter who does sew infrequently.
|
How nice for you, sounds like a gift made on the machine may be in order in the future!:)
