Do you remember the tops that I posted the other day that still needed borders on them? I think I had 4 of them. I got two of them done. I know the photos don't really show the borders very well, but I promise they are on there! hehehe! I actually forgot what the name of this first one is, but I have it written down in my book, so I will look it up later. I added a green print border on it.
This is my scrappy bargello that I made a while back. I really like this design, and I just remembered that I have a green scrappy one in the works somewhere! I will have to dig it out, I think I have about half of it done. On this one I added a dark red print border.
Just wanted to show a couple of photos of my new/old little baby. I know it still needs some cleaning done on it, but here it is....A 1933 Singer Featherweight!!! I checked the serial number and this is the first year that the 221 was manufactured. She sews like a dream!!! Don't know yet if I will keep her or sell her.
You can see the case in the photo above but here is a photo of the attachments and manual. Even has the needles and lubricant! I used her sewing some of the borders on tops tops! 
I have slept most of the day today! I feel like CRAP! :( Anyway, I'll stop complaining now! :) Mom is home, she came home today!!! I haven't seen her yet, but she sounds very tired! It is almost 10 pm, so I will probably go to bed soon and hopefully tomorrow will be a better day!

As always your quilts are stunning! I do hope you get to feeling better soon.
And, I am dying to know how you plan to put the diamind shaped string blocks together. I thought about it all day yesterday.
Hugs!

Very pretty quilts. I want to learn the bargello. You are completeing so many lately. You will soon have the 30 tops replaced that you quilted last year. LOL I love those little machines. Someday maybe I will buy one although I have lots of machines. Enjoy time with your mom. Hope you have a good day!
Busy, busy, busy! You amaze me! I've never made any string quilt blocks but I do have a couple of quilt tops that I bought at an estate sale once that are made with strings. That reminds me...I need to quilt those! Anywya, your quilts look lovely with their new borders. I have a 1934 Featherweight that I actually do most of my piecing on. It's such a dependable machine.
Your Singer is in a great condition, you have to keep her.
Love the quilts and congrats on getting the borders on 2!!
