Last week my hubby came home with another sewing machine. This one is a Wheeler & Wilson that is at least 104 years old. The carving on the cabinet is the main reason he went for it, but, we didn't have a W&W machine yet! He has gotten it all cleaned up but I haven't had a chance to test it out. For the first several days it sat in the middle of the great room but last night it found a little corner of the room that didn't already have at least one machine in it!

I got the first of the three denim tops quilted over the weekend and yesterday got the binding on it and did the hand-sewing at craft night.

Today I hope to quilt the other two and get the bindings on and tomorrow I will sit around and get the bindings on. Hopefully the TDaP (Tetanus, Diphtheria and Pertussis) booster I got in my arm yesterday doesn't slow me down!
I borrowed my friend's
Cricut to make some things for my grandson for Christmas. He will be 4 next week and is starting to get interested in the alphabet and numbers. Not sure exactly what I will make but hopefully it is something he enjoys learning with!

Remind me to try it if it works. I have wondered what it would be like to do all my sewing on a treadle machine.
The other one does work and this one should. You can try it next time you are here.
What a nice antique. My grandma used to have a treadle machine with a lovely cabinet. I actually sewed a couple of things on that machine (one thousand years ago, that was.) The denim quilts are looking great!
Hope I could still get pattern!

Would love to receive a copy of your pattern. I'm planning to make my son a recycled jeans quilt for HS graduation to take to college in the fall, with jeans I've saved since he was little. I've been mulling over the construction because I didn't want it to get too bulky - this is perfect!
Thanks so much - martamacf@verizon.net
