Aqua green dream machine

In a December blog post I had a photo of my 1950's sewing machine, which I learned to sew on: 





Today I saw this email ad from Craftsy and the sewing machine in their photo just jumped right out at me:

Yes...it's the identical machine!  The only difference is the brand.  Mine is called "Sew Mor" and theirs looks like "Viscount".  These machines were made in Japan and they would sometimes put different "brands" on the same machine.

My old sewing machine is trendy now!  I've always loved her, though.

Easy Street step #2

The step #2 blocks from Bonnie Hunter's mystery are done, and step #3's is expected tomorrow.

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!
