Thank You, Featherweight

June 25, 2009 at 1:17 am by Claudia

Thank you, sweet Featherweight! For hours of sewing away from home, for fabric eggs and fabric hearts, for stitching square onto square, strip onto strip, row onto row, borders onto rows and making two quilts. You are everything they say you are – a workhorse with a fantastic straight stitch. You do everything with grace. Thanks for keeping me company at the apartment. I will soon return you to my friend, Ingrid, who trusted me enough to lend you to me. You were her Grandmother’s sewing machine – a treasure. I will miss you…and I will get one like you for myself someday…along with my dream Janome 6600P Memory Craft Sewing Machine. Thank you, Featherweight. Thank you, Ingrid.

The top is finished!

    This is a beautiful post, Claudia! Love quilts and that old Singer in the middle of the mosaic- I own my Grand Grandmother one, it is very similar to that featured in your pic!
    Glad you liked my pink bunny… ;)

    How really cool! A friend of mine has one and won’t think of another! She also could buy herself ANY machine she wanted but doesn’t even think about it!! Sweet post!
    Hugs, Lisa

    The quilt top is beautiful! I really like the variety of fabrics.
    I’m sure it feels good to accomplish this goal prior to your departure home.

Welcome!

Welcome!

I live in a little cottage in the country with my husband. It's a sweet place, sheltered by old trees and surrounded by gardens. The inside is full of the things we love. I love to write, I love my camera, I love creating, I love gardening. My decorating style is eclectic; full of vintage and a bit of whimsy.

I've worked in the theater for more years than I can count. I'm currently a voice, speech, dialect and text coach freelancing on Broadway, off Broadway, and in regional theater.

Thanks for stopping by.
