MIA..........
about a month going on now or so ago, I was talking with my sisters-in-law about sewing in general and I asked if my MIL's sewing machine was even working (she is pretty advanced in age and can't use it anymore). To my surprise, both of my SIL's wanted me to have the machine - I thought they wanted it.
So this machine came home and it is a 15-30 machine born in 1920 and I named her Wadia after my husband's grandmother, who was the original owner of the machine. You can see my restoration work on this machine at: http://photobucket.com/pat-150
Wadia came in a very, very shaky cabinet, really icky. So off I went in search of a new cabinet. To my utter delight, I found a singer art deco cabinet 42, but it came with yet another machine, a 15-91 from 1941. So, I cleaned the cabinet and the 15-91 (who is Matilda), and the results are stunning, which you can see at: http://photobucket.com/pat-15-91
Last, as I was looking and looking, a 221 featherweight also fell into my lap and I got her quite by accident (she is Alicia) and her restoration can be found at: http://photobucket.com/pat-featherweight
So.......
this madness was the only reason why I have not been so active here, and I will be playing anew with my kitty soon, as I do need to make two urgent cards, and x-mas again is with us........
Love and miss all of you...........
