Ode to Sewing Machines #37

Many of you follow my "Ode to the Sewing Machine" posts.  We've all seen the ads on craigslist, ebay and elsewhere.  The clueless sellers give those of us who sew a belly laugh, or two!  Here's installment #37…

He's dreaming of a good offer. Maybe he'll wake up soon.

Another one of my own

 I placed a small wall hanging on my frame this morning and put the binding on it this afternoon!  I made this one in May.  Sometimes you need to just sit down and piece!  And that's what happened with this wall hanging.  I made it all in an afternoon.  I plan to put this in my foyer above the Singer 201 sewing machine table.  I'll go back to client quilts tomorrow morning!

One of my own quilts

I've been stitching quilts for others for so long I forgot I had some of my own to get finished.  Today I put one of those on my frame.  Here it is!  This one was made 6 years ago!  It has 1840s reproduction fabrics used in it, and they are homespun all except for the background fabric.  I hope to get one more of my own on the frame before I start back on client quilts!

It's a boy!

 My daughter is pregnant with our second grandchild and we found out yesterday it's going to be another boy!  We are thrilled to know Joshua will have a buddy to grow up with.  This is the quilt top I made to celebrate.
