For those of you who feel they don't have enough vintage sewing machines, check out ebay. Antiques < sewing < toys. There is a toy and miniature sewing machine museum selling it's entire collection. They want $72,000. There are lots of toy sewing machines, but it looks like there are also portables. Fun just to look at the pictures.

Happy 4th everyone!

Here is mine for the fourth. Glenn

Very good job Glenn and you and your family enjoy your 4th. Thank you for your service. My oldest brother did 25 yrs in the Navy during the VN area. My late husband spent 4 year in the Air Force during that time. My late father serviced during WWII. Thank you to all that serviced.

I have!! I'm VERY impressed with Guy Baker! My first experience with him was when I got my Kenmore, and the motor smoked. I talked to him about getting a new motor for it, and he immediately told me that he wouldn't sell me one until it was certain that this one didn't work. (It had obviously sat for quite a long while) Told me to call him back if and when the motor actually went out on the machine.
He's an honest as the day is long, trustworthy man!

We are having a quilt show here in town in 2 weeks, one of our vendors is called Feathers and Cranks, she sells very pricey fully restored featherweights and hand cranks. I don't have her info here, but I will check w/her to see if she has any spares, if so I'll post her info for your.

Nona Sharff, she is in Colestrip, MT, I actually saw her Friday in our LQS. The last I knew she didn't have a web site. I can call the LQS on Tuesday and see if they have her number.

What part of Montana are y'all from? I began life there and love it? Last year I was at the Deer Country Quilt Shop in Seeley Lake, MT. I could actually live there!

Townsend, Mt between Bozeman and Helena about 30 minutes from Three Forks.

(This isn't enabling anyone is it???? <grin!>). http://www.shopgoodwill.com/viewItem.asp?ItemID=8136519

PS there is also a electric, spoke wheel Lotus 66 there as well. Cords cut, some rust, some wear on the decals, but oh my.

AND a Singer 403, with pristine carry case, Singer plastic accessories case (with accessores), feet, cams, manual, and extras. Looks Clean!!! They've got one $5 bid on it.

I looked, but I couldn't find the 403. It must be sold already. I'd like that one.

IRISHROSE.... here's the link to the 403.... up to $13 now! Heck, I paid $85 for my 403 with all it's attachments, cams, case AND a card table. So this one is still a steal, even with shipping. http://www.shopgoodwill.com/viewItem.asp?ItemID=8150023

When you 'shop' on the goodwill site, it's a good idea to do a search for something basic, like "sewing"... 'cause half the time, the people that describe the items, don't really know what they are describing or use different words...

Don't worry about the Free VS. I've been watching her and put a bid in on her. Hopefully she will be mine.

Texas Jan

I went over to check it out and the bidding is at $27.50. How many QB members are bidding on it? LOL If I had found it first, I would have bid, too. HeHe
