In fact, when we are about to take a trip he asks me if I have checked Craigslist for the cities we are going to and located quilt shops. We support each other's habits. I am blessed by him constantly! :-D

I do enjoy the company and will have more to post later. I'm working on a $5.00 treadle and "Ruby" that I am rebuilding from a sad beginning.

Anyone interested in this machine? They've dropped it to $35. I am willing to pick it up for you if you want to arrange shipping or pick it up from me.

A Singer Lotus 66-1 was the first of the Singer 66. The decals are just there for decoration and a way to sell machines. The Lotus was the first decals used from 1900-1910, and then Singer switched to the Redeye decal. My two Lotus 66-1 are back mount machines which means the the side mount attachments can't be used with them. I have used my oldest, 1907, to make a complete baby quilt, from piecing to straight-stitch quilting. The machine makes a pretty stitch!
More info on the Singer 66s.

That was one beautiful car. I think the cars today all look pretty much alike, what a pity.
