This blog is intended as a bulletin board to show the quilts I've been making on my vintage and treadle sewing machines. My husband and I collect antique and vintage sewing machines and I use them to make all my quilts. Here are some of the results.

Check out these colours!
Here are the blocks all finished by my friend Yellie who also took the Not Your Grandmother's Log Cabin class last Saturday:
My other friend, Amy's top...Amy added another border around the whole thing:
My blocks all sewn together:
I will add my friend Lynn's blocks to the blog post when she has it together :-). Awesome the way the colours look so different!!
You asked about Minkee. I love working with it. I spray baste all my quilts, using LOTS of spray with Minkee. This way it doesn't slip or slide or act too soft. I'm told that Minkee is VERY slippery to work with and needs tons of pins to stay in place, but if you use enough spray, it is very stable. I love the results, even though I go through the pricy spray baste very quickly with Minkee quilts.

Beautiful, beautiful and beautiful!
All three are just lovely! It's amazing how different they look with the different color choices you three have made. Really nice!
Thanks,
Susan
Hi Jacqui,

Hope this helps,
