Machine love!!!!

Working on the babies airplane quilt today.  It was a chance to use my

Singer 306K, my Bernina had the walking foot on and

I was too lazy to take it off.  Well....I am in love with my 306K anyway!!

 

 

 

This lovely machine was one of the first to be made in this

series, it is rare to find this one without the cams, just straight and zig zag stitch.

Made in 1954.

Ragged Flower

Another one almost done.  I am quilting this on my old Bernina,

so it will take awhile. Using the walking foot to go

around each flower and don't really know

what else I will do.  Creating as I go :)

Finally done!!

Wow, I made this quilt top 7 years ago; It was one of my first!! 

So this week I decided it was time to quilt it and on my old Bernina sewing machine.  I am new to machine quilting, so that took awhile, but now I feel very satisfied with it : )

Repurposed Quilt

My first blocks for the repurposed quilt.

I am using old jeans from our family, and a few other interesting items.

For this block I used two differant colors of jeans, an old Levei shirt that was my dad's, for the sky and a small amount of fabric from an old pair of

brown pants of mine for the boat.  The sail is a small piece of fabric from the 1960's that my mother

gave me a long time ago. 

For the water I used a portion of a hem from a pair of peddle pushers belonging to my Mom.  I thought it gave an interesting wave affect.

Well that is the first block; I am so excited to have started this project!!

 

More blocks, this one from hunting and military pants. 

 

 

The snow on this tree is made from the lining of a pocket,

 

 

Below I used a seam in these old brown pants of mine

to make a design in the basket. 

I'm sure I will put a flower in this basket :)

My GO cutter.

I have had my GO cutter by Accuquilt for sometime now, so it is time to get GOING!!

I love hexagons,so I will be working on this hexagon flower quilt. It will have ragged

edges, that is what makes it so easy. Everything will be cut with the

GO cutter :)

This is the first block, so I will probably make a few changes, but I am

very happy with the way it is going.

It is a 14 inch square block.

Bernina from the 1950's

Aaawwww.....Bernina !!

They sew forever!!

I read a blog tonight about a lady and her 1955 Elna sewing machine.

It made me want to post another one of my oldies :)

When I first found this machine, it did not sew at all, but after

spending a few days with it...well, it sews perfectly now!!
