My other colors are red and medium blue. I have no idea where this mystery is going, but I'm really enjoying using up some scraps!
Anything quilt related is a guaranteed cat-magnet!
On her blog, Bonnie Hunter has been showcasing some of her vintage machines, so I thought I'd show mine. I sew on it all the time.
It's a Sewmore, made in Japan in the 1950's Bonnie calls these kinds of machines "Singer clones". I've known this one all my life. It was my mother's and I learned to sew on it. My mom stuck numbers on it to help me with the threading order and, being sentimental, I just kept them on all this time!
I'm not in the habit of naming my machines, but with the 2-tone seafoam green, I could call her Marina!

Love the Easy Street units, AND your seafome green beauty !
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool machine! I love that your Mom put the numbers on it to help you, what a sweetie. I'd never take them off either. Someday, do tell us your cute cat's name, too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty your machine is, and what a blessing to have known and loved her for so long! I like your Easy Street blocks, too. I'm way behind.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous machine! And cat, and geese!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had my mom's sewing machine.
Lucky you!!

Your machine looks like she has been loved for a long time. I am searching CraigsList for a vintage machine for myself too.
ReplyDeleteHappy quilting.
Love the color. I've been searching for a pink 91-15 clone for the last year, no joy in mudville (don't want the Atlas that comes up all the time) so this week a bid on a pretty tealish/blue one. Watch. If I win it three pink ones will come up somewhere the next week :)

Your machine is a beauty!
ReplyDeleteThank you Louise for popping to my blog. There is a transalator which you can use and get a little bit of knowledge what I have written, if you want. You have wonderful quilts here, just lovely! Naming machines :) yes. I have the best sewing machine in the world, half automatic Singer 401G from 1960. It sows so beutifully, also papers which I use in my cards. I call her Kaino after her former owner.
ReplyDeleteI wish you a Happy New Year full of lovely quilts.
