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.

Sewing room progress
My daughter and daughters in law gave me some great additions for my sewing room. Jannyne gave me this wonderful clock. I hung it up in the sewing room, above the yard sale cabinet I picked up last year. This clock keeps us all on time for classes :-).
Heather made this cool wooden button from a cheese board bottom. It was featured on a decorating blog and I fell in love with it. Fortunately, I hadn't found a cheese board at a yard sale yet so Heather painted it black and put a black check X in the middle. It found a perfect spot on the coat rack that Jake made out of an old piano years ago. The Chocolate sign says: "Warning, may cause clothing to shrink" and was a gift from my daughter Amanda last year.
As much as I would like to take credit for giving you something...I didn't give you that frame :-) Mine said "Families are like chocolate, mostly sweet, with a few nuts". Still searching for an appropriate birthday gift for this year :0)
Oops! Hmmm....maybe Heather gave me that one? The one about families is upstairs. Maybe I should hang that one in the sewing room too together with all my chocolate sayings. I also have the little one that says, "My soul is tired of chicken soup; it wants chocolate now" LOL Thanks for setting the record straight!
