Ok so here is the quilt I told you about in the introduction. All of the little ladies were drafted, cut and appliqued by my mother. So in order to make the 3 quilts using the 30 lady blocks, I'm adding some dresden plates to it using some of her scraps along with a few of mine.
Here is the plate Im working on today. Well I made it up yesterday but will just be sewing it down onto the white background block today using clear thread.
This is the Singer 401A that my mother used to make this ladies, it also belonged to my grandmother before her and now is mine. I will be taking it in to have it cleaned up and fixed up, but it still sews a very nice line as you can see in the picture, but it is a little stiff going so it needs to be cleaned and lubed and I think it will be a fun machine to use.
I also wanted to throw in a couple of pictures of the sweet life. Our little simese kitten resting in his favorite spot along with my fabric stash.
