Beautiful machine indeed!!!

I love the "wanted dead or alive" poster in the background, still looking for the culprit?

I had quite a bunch of pages to go through, but it is worth it to see all the beautiful machines posted. I am starting to think Christmas present for my 10 yr old DGD after seeing the Singer hand crank. She was here about 5 minutes last Wed. and she had to have some fabric to sew on my HC. And can she treadle! She sat right down to my treadle and had it singing. I bought her some fabric to work on next school break when she comes over.

Sew great.... how old is she? Gosh I wish I hadn't been such a little snit when I was a kid. lol... I could have learned alot from my elders (and betters!). Now that I'm old...er, I have realized the error of my ways too late to do much about it.... ah well...
