Wow, Shopgoodwill.com is another site like ebay to stay off.
There is a 201 I that had on my watch list, but I'm going to take it off. http://www.shopgoodwill.com/viewItem.asp?ItemID=8162092
I'lll see what happens tomorrow with the 403.

Have fun posting all your lovely pieces of work. It will be fun seeing what everyone has created and with what machine!

Thank you guys for your kind words about my flag quilt. That flag quilt was made before vintage, but I love the little quilt!
All you guys have done some beautiful work on quilts posted in the Quilt Photo Shop, but Sharon your quilt is my colors! I love brights!

I'm laid up today with a bad case of poison ivy mixed with bug bites. We've been clearing a path to the door of a house we bought at a tax sale. Found one well growing plant we suspect might have some street value.... Got it leveled for now - too bad - it was pretty and smells good...

I am surprised at the FWs. Do the prices skyrocket at the end? Of course some aren't identified as FWs.

Good morning all. I have listed a Singer 401a in the classifieds. Nice running machine. It was rescued covered in dirt and grim and badly in need of a bath and moisturizing treatment. She is a happy girl now.

I don’t know where it goes. I think it is a 66 from 1926- #ab101576. The more I clean the more there is to clean. How do you get rid of the kerosene smell? Thanks so much.
