Wow! Where has the last month gone? Where has the last year gone? This is the last day of 2011. I wanted to get one more post in before the new year begins.
I have not been sewing very much this last month. The only sewing I have been doing is sewing up some 2 patches to make 4 patches to make Em's 4 patch quilt. She did her quilt as leaders/enders. I don't have the patience to wait that long. When I feel the need to do some mindless sewing, I pull out some more squares and sew up more 2 patches. I have not gotten enough sewn to go to the 4 patch stage just yet, but I am working on it. That is about all the space I have to work with on my sewing table. I did sew up a couple of the final blocks to see what they will look like together. I am using one Kona white for all the light colored 4 patches, but the other patches will be scrappy.
The pictures I have included in this post is of my new purple Singer Featherweight sewing machine, and the newly covered sewing case to go with my new purple machine. My machine is not really "new", but reconstructed. The purple paint is new as well as the cover on the old case. I have been drolling over this machine for some time. We have friends who have a Singer Featherweight sales and repair business. I visit their booth at all the quilt shows we attend. I have looked at this machine and threatened to buy it several times. I kept thinking that if it was still there at the next quilt show, then it was destined to be mine. That is exactly what happened. It is now mine and I love it. It attracts attention whenever I take it to sew-ins or classes. I took it to my last Quilting 101 workshop. A few of the ladies there were quite interested in it. I had to keep my eye on them to make sure my purple cutie went home with me and not with one of them! LOL!
I wish all of you a Happy New Year's eve, and a wonderful 2012 New Year!
Happy Quilting

Do your friends have a website? I love your purple featherweight!
Of course you had to have it!! I'm glad you finally got it. I like the case too. So many of the cases are in bad condition and that surely covers up any flaws. Happy New Year!!
That is definitely a drool-worthy machine! And yes, it surely was meant for you! Congrats on the acquisition. I like your case too. What fun!
Happy New Year!
Oh, you lucky girl! That is a beauty, and the case is, too. Hope you have a happy new year!

Oh what a darling machine - and you will love sewing with it. It is the perfect machine for you. Lovely cover too - just perfect.
Hope your new year is filled to overflowing with purple happiness.
Love your purple Featherweight, and the case is so neat too! Is this the couple that sells featherweights at a lot of bay area quilt shows? Really pretty!
Oh my goodness, a purple featherweight - not that is definitely an original and perfect for you. The case is very attractive as well. Happy New Year, Pam.
I'm jealous too! If and when I ever get my Featherweight painted it's going to be purple too! Purple is the best! :-)
I am a purple nut too. Your purple girl is wonderful.
OH MY GOODNESS!!! It IS a lovely lovely sewing machine and you are right to keep your eye on it.....that is one beautiful feather weight and I'd steal it in a heart beat if I thought I could get away with it!!! LOL!!!
