I'd love to be in on your giveaway and we'll be camping again shortly so I'll have plenty of time to stitch it and send it on it's way similarly right after.<br />What great gifts came home with you after cleaning up your parents home and reliving many memories. That 1929 singer is absolutely beautiful. I know you'll enjoy it for that, but also since it belong to your grandmother. I have an active blog typically, but since the gardens have been on the top of the prioity lists, mine has taken a back seat and has been mis used, I need to post since there has been much that has happened around here. Hopefully that will change soon. lol<br />Beautiful stitching and finishes as always. Glad to hear all is well in your world. <br />JaneQuiltsmileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04346313090377024308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293399242092873784.post-78636374636168200612012-06-25T03:34:52.938-04:002012-06-25T03:34:52.938-04:00And again there are two little pillows that are so...And again there are two little pillows that are so creatively<br />finished that I want to go and finish some of mine the same way.

Because it has sat untouched for so many years, please have a trusted professional go over it -- don't try to do it yourself. Reproduction bobbins for your machine are available at JoAnn's or Wal-Mart -- look for generic "class 66" bobbins. Authentic vintage bobbins can be found on Ebay. To own your grandmother's sewing machine is a rare and wondrous privilege. May you make lovely things with it and may you feel your grandmother's loving presence as you work.Orlythehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04414265091777897945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293399242092873784.post-33473326403424061302012-06-16T10:57:38.991-04:002012-06-16T10:57:38.991-04:00carol, it's always pleasure to visit your blog...carol, it's always pleasure to visit your blog and to read and see your lovely post...Nimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17275701099832636262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293399242092873784.post-91650581737270155552012-06-14T21:58:18.233-04:002012-06-14T21:58:18.233-04:00Love all your attic "treasure hunt" but ...Love all your attic "treasure hunt" but the skeleton is a bit scary!

I think it's the Santa! HE cracks me up! And how you and your brother have this thing with him!! The Singer machine is very precious and what a great heirloom to have. I know it was difficult packing your parent's house up, but it had to be done. Love the crying babies! Those glass bottles are amazing...especially the pear (I have a thing for pears!) That glass frog is probably the prettiest I have seen..and your mom's response to what we do with them!Lovely threads and thimble too! <br /><br />Stitching now perhaps...oops forgot about the skeleton!

Although it's never been the same for me since Pete Sampras retired.<br />How great that you found a skeleton in the attic! It reminded me of a episode of 'Frasier' although I think they found theirs in the basement!<br />What a fantastic Singer sewing machine. When I was 11 our Home Economics teacher wouldn't let us loose on the electric machines, so we had to sew our first project on the Singer machines...my apron took me weeks to sew! lol.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00465814935013604949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293399242092873784.post-37071676267552906272012-06-09T11:04:09.260-04:002012-06-09T11:04:09.260-04:00What wonderful finishes, Carol!

You really have put a zing in my needle today--I hope it continues long enough for me to get to my stitching chair! ;) Beautiful work. I love the piece from Elia, too.<br /><br />I will pass on the giveaway with thanks because I am so unreliable with stitching at the moment. I will enjoy watching it travel through the blog world!<br /><br />What a neat bunch of items you got from your childhood home! I love the sewing machine. I recently found out that my aunt's BF tossed out my grandmother's old Singer sewing machine to make room in my aunt's garage for his car. I am sick at the thought of it. :( The skeleton find--egads!! Your brother sounds like a lot of fun. I have one like that--and know to run and lock myself in the bathroom when he finds something he knows I won't like!
