I wouldn't have guess she was that old!!! Until the FW comes along, you're going to have a great time with her!!!
and I feel so special, cause I was the first on the board to see her! Was so great to meet you in person today!

Isn't it great they made stuff so well back then that we can still enjoy it today. The machine we are buying today and paying a small fortune for sure won't be working in 100 years. I'm always amazed at how well they sew.

It really was my lucky day. Frauhahn was also having a garage sale today and I was lucky to stop at her house and meet in person another board member. It was wonderful to meet you too. What a small world we really live in, her Dad lives right next door to me.

I'm going to name her Mary, after my great-grandmother, who was a quilter.

Isn't it fun to find something this old and have it work like a dream??? I know I won't work that well when I reach 101.
