collecting

I have collected 2 of these toy sewing machines. I think they are the cutest things. I was a child in the 70's and I remember coloring in my Holly Hobby coloring book.

Also my pincushion collections. I love that there are so many different and cute pincushions out there. The blue chicken was my mom's pincushion from when I was little, I remember her using it. The little cupcake/icecream cone pincushion on the right is from a swap. A sweet lady from Canada sent it to me.

sewing machine cover

Here is my sewing machine cover I made, I think 2 weeks ago. I used my favorite Heather Ross fabric with fish on it. I need to make another one for the other sewing machine.

Beetle quilt

I figured out how to post a photo. Here is the beetle quilt I am working on. It is for a couple that I don't even know. She e-mailed me and said she was interested in a beetle quilt. I think it's turning out cute. I think my favorite is the pink/orange convertible on the left.

So new to me

This blog thing is all so new to me. I am trying to figure things out and I am having a hard time. What are all these symbols and names? Oh my. I love to post pictures, but don't know how yet. I guess I will learn over time and get better at this. When I do figure this out , I will post a pic of the very cute beelte quilt I am working on.
