Vintagemotif - love the quilt - lots of motion, lovely colours, and a great way to keep the machines exercised!
Kiffie - Get cracking with the treadle. Once you get going with it you will enjoy it so much you will wonder why you never did it earlier. I thought you might all like to hear about a comment on one of my Youtube videos. It is from a man in Canada who says he loves old machines, thanked me for the video explaining how to adjust the tension, and added that he has actually stared to sew on an old machine and is getting quite good at it. I was incredibly pleased to hear from him - and Kiffie, just think what you will be able to do! |
One of these days I will do the quilting at home instead of taking all my quilts to the quilt shop. Anyway, I've made a start, even if it is only 16 inches square! I have had a bit of fun in the August Doll Quilt Swap, which I have posted there http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-139405-27.htm

This is a great topic, and it shows you can do anything on a vintage machine!

Here is another item I have made on my 319. I made this in two days while our GD was staying with us. If you can see the little purse on her wrist she made that on a FW. Being left handed I turned the FW backwards and put the stitch lever in reverse. She like using it better that way. She is 7 years old and is very interested in learning how to sew. Oh, and she also made her little neckless and bracelet.

Crossstitcher - What a gorgeous little grand daughter you have, she looks so pretty in her new dress, and wonderful to hear she's keen to do her own sewing.
Well if this thread extends beyond quilts, here are a couple of pictures of my daughter - she's 15 - in a summer top I have just finished using my 1940 28K shown here http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-130994-13.htm It was an exercise in pattern drafting, she wanted a 1960's style square neck, and the print has a 60's look about it. Before all you Americans start jumping up and down, no the pictures aren't of the Kremlin, it's Brighton Pavilion. Loops are far less bother than buttonholes [ATTACH=CONFIG]244218[/ATTACH] |
