sewing machines


i love sewing machines! - right now, i have two new pfaff machines and a vintage viking and a vintage kenmore.

i sew most days, all day. i hope to become a full time quilter.

i belong to a few websites where people talk about sewing machines, allot. im honestly grossed out by people who tell new sewers who dont know if they even like sewing to buy an high prices machine right out of the gate. just today some person told a newbie to buy a 5000 dollar machine! CRAZY!

dont do it. buy a 50.00 or less oldie and see if you even like sewing.

im very against the idea that is floated that sewing needs to be an expensive hobby.

used fabric is everywhere and its cheap. i love small quilt shops dont get me wrong. but, i dont buy new fabric, its too expensive and there is plenty of used fabric to go around,

It is Labor Day weekend! I love this holiday .... I'm having a sale on my Etsy to celebrate the cooler weather coming. George and I are making quilts and going to New Orleans parades this weekend.

I did take this selfie today, too. Quilt stuff? I'm making a star quilt for my bed. It will be partially scraps and partially other fabrics that were gifted to me or bought. I think I'm going to make an effort to make it clash as much as possible! Hope you all will find some fun this weekend. It's for us. The workers.
