The Featherweight Trifecta

Posted in Little Known Facts, Quilting, Serendipity, Sewing, tagged , on July 18, 2022| Leave a Comment »

The Singer Featherweight is a model of domestic sewing machine made from 1933 to 1968. They are portable, with a flip up bed that allows them to fit into a neat little box. They are highly valued among quilter’s as they make an amazing stitch. They are also fairly quiet. Singer first made them in black. Then they added white and tan. Several years ago I acquired my first one at an auction. It is the black one made in 1946. Last year I added the white from 1964. And I search for quite some time to find a 1961 in tan. I recently got it. (They are shown in the photo here with and without their cases.) There is a tradition of naming Featherweights after women. I named the black one Nola Mae for my paternal grandmother, the white is Lucille for my maternal grandmother and the tan is Barbara Ann for my mom. These three women taught me to sew and to love crafting. I feel like I finally hit the TRIFECTA of Featherweights! I love these three little beauties.

Sewing Camp Session 2 Added to Schedule

Posted in Art Camp, Sewing, tagged , on July 9, 2022| Leave a Comment »

A few years ago we added a session of “Sewing Camp” to our summer art camp series. It was popular right away. You can see these amazing rag quilts that these young people made during Sewing Camp. This year we added another session on August 1-2 and the morning session sold out! Wow! We were asked to add another session so more kids can learn to use a sewing machine so we did. The second session will also meet on August 1-2 in the afternoon. If you have a young person ages 8-16 that would like to learn to sew be sure to click here and register them as space is limited.

A Birthday Quilt Surprise!

Posted in Quilting, Serendipity, Sewing, Workshop/Retreat, tagged , , , , , on June 5, 2022| Leave a Comment »

I spent a delightful weekend with a group of talented quilters at the “Piecemakers” Retreat in Roxbury, Pennsylvania. I learned so much from them and they were all so generous with their knowledge. While there I worked on a baking themed quilt for Sister, who is a terrific cake and bread maker. She came up from Georgia to stay with Lincoln so I could go to the retreat when my regular sitter had an emergency out of state. As her birthday is in a few weeks and I had planned to make this quilt for her I decided to move it up so that I could give it to her while she was here. She loved it….and so did Paisley, her little Yorkie. I think Sister will have to share it with her. Happy Early Birthday!!!
