Now the machines really are finding me. Today, my dental hygienist gave me a Singer 66-2 machine,1925. She saved it from her friend throwing it in the trash. My husband told her about my new hobby, and she told him about this machine that was just sitting around her house. She asked if I would like to have it. Well, I couldn't turn down a free machine. I plan to toss the motor on this one too. I now have a box of motors.

My friend, Terri, and I make 'preemie' quilts and donate them to the neonatal unit at Wesley in Wichita. To date we have donated close to 300 of them. The nurses tell us they don't last long because there are so many preemie babies born nowadays. It's a wonderful way to give and a great way to use up scraps or donated fabrics. Sometimes thaat is all that a mother has to take home with her is the quilt that her small one was wrapped in when she got to hold it. Not all the little ones make it home.
Anyway, any neonatal unit loves getting the little quilts so if anybody is yearning for a cause, this is a good one.

Well, that's a start. I've got my tree out of the box and the lights on and that's it. I hope to get more done this weekend. I hope to see you all soon. Keep your fingers crossed and your mouth closed. LOL. No one knows I may be coming home.
Oh, and you aren't a Scrooge!!! Not in my book anyway.

Nancy, your quilt is so so pretty. Even Hubby made a commet on how pretty it is. The colors go great together. Do you have a name for it? :thumbup:
