Quilts & a New Addition to the family

I have kept my nose to the grindstone this last week until today. My goal was a quilt a day and I have managed to do that. Here are a couple of quilt that I have completed this week.





Next up---Farmer's Wife





Now on to other news. I have a new addition to my family ( my family of machines that is).
I was perusing Craigslist the other day and happened to see a listing for this little gem.

Well long story short. It was a 2 1/2 hour round trip, but home it came. I still have to go through and do a little cleaning and  oiling, but isn't she a beaut?





It came with a manual and TWO boxes of attachments and a few other goodies. I am soooooooo stoked to get going on this and start sewing on it. Before I can spend too much time on it I do have to finish the last 2 quilts that I should have done by now.  I guess this will give me incentive to get to work.

Til later,
Hugs & Stitches,
Mary

    I'm sure getting the urge for a treadle sewing machine. Not sure how to go about it but will check around. She's a beauty and also your quilts.

      Woodie,
      Saw one listed on Craigslist that's in Tenino, that's the same as the one I have. Looked to be in pretty good condition. I finally got to stitch a little on mine the other day and had so much fun. Has a really nice stitch. I'm starting out with a little string piecing first to get use to it.
