Featherweight Rx....

Yesterday was such a fun day! Dave and Sharon McCallum came and Dave taught the Featherweight Rx class. If you own one of these machines, do not miss the chance to take one of these classes if he's ever in your neighborhood. We had a delightful day spent learning the history of the machine and how to take care of it ourselves. This gentleman has thoroughly educated himself on the value, workings, history of the Singer Featherweight and communicates it in a humorous and educational manner. We had our machines taken apart and put back together again this afternoon. And mine even still sews! Here's a picture of it in front of the Block of the Month quilt...it's all greased, oiled, tuned up and ready to rock and roll! They will have a booth at the APNQ Show in Seattle in August, so if you're there, be sure to stop in. (I'm not so sure I will be able to attend, but our black and white log cabin quilt will get to go and hang in their booth again. In fact, it even gets to go to Quilt Market in Houston in the Fall....I should have pictures of it seeing the local sites - you know, kind of like the garden gnome pics?!?)

It's a pretty day here this morning. I'm going to do some much needed straightening around the house and then try and get some pots fixed up on my little patio area. Things weren't growing that well at the beginning of the season, but now I have some "volunteers" coming up in a planter or two that need some serious assistance before they get crowded out! I'm hoping to get the floor cleaned up in my sew area while I wash the ever-present clothes in the laundry basket. I need to do a little bill paying and find the top of my desk again. But I am going to take some time and just sit and read the Sunday paper outside too! Hope you all have a wonderful Sunday!
