July 2010 I started working on a quilt for a dear friend. She had gathered all of her favorite baby things of her daughters and brought them to me last spring. Finally, in July, I got inspired to work on it. I started with two pair of adorable pants with pockets and made the first square.
Then I just kept picking apart clothes and sewing things back together. I used everything given to me me. The only thing I used new was the batting.
Just as I finished this quilt the Husqvarna stopped zigzagging. The machine went to the shop. I bought a used Viking 6010 from Betsy because I wanted to keep up the momentum. I caught momentum all right. Not sewing momentum. SMAD (sewing machine acquisition disorder) momentum. Besty would not sell me one of her 66s that I wanted for my Grace Machine Quilt frame so I found one on Craigs list and she helped me clean it up and get it stitching. That was when I was afflicted.
In a way this quilt started it all. I want to get back to sewing. But I love meching on old sewing machines........ I just don't have enough time.
My time seems to be collecting and cleaning old sewing machines too...just not enough time for sewing! be blessed!
