I had to chuckle when I opened your blog today. We are in the market for a travel trailer to do some get always. (when at home there always seems to be customer quilts to do) so we went down to shipshewana to look at one we had seen on Craig's list. Didn't end up buying the trailer but came home with a featherweight we found in an antique mall there. I now have the travel sewing machine so all we need now is the trailer.
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely, what a beautiful machine.
ReplyDeletewe are definitely connected in some way... I just bought a featherweight on Monday. Crazy! Yours is lovely. Mine's a little beat up, but has a great story about traveling with the wife of a Dr. in the R.A.M.C. to Egypt, England and then to the US...
ReplyDeleteHow are you, are you going to the quilt show on Bainbridge this Saturday? I am volunteering from 11 to 1, let me know if you will be going, would love to get together & catch up.
