I know how you feel when going through boxes of photos. Last year I made myself go through all of the photos I have in a box. I made each of our children special scrapbooks and then I made 3 other scrapbook albums with different themes. I love photos. I have a sewing machine just like yours and I named her Eleanor. She was one of the first purchases (along with a deep freezer) my husband and I made starting our married life together. That was 38 years ago and both freezer and sewing machine are working well. I love that the old singer is always easy to work on if something does not come out stitched well. The Country Kitchen books sounds like such a delightful read!

I've been working on mending lately.<br /><br />After reading your recommendation of <i>The Country Kitchen</i>, I too trotted over to Amazon to see what I could find. Used hardcovers are listed at $895! Yup, eight hundred ninety-five dollars! Used paperbacks are listed for $43. I dug around and found a used hardcover in fair condition for $3.85! I had to snap it up. But this is the kind of book I love to read. :)Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5885548773613247997.post-90367192177217417592020-12-30T15:36:44.648-08:002020-12-30T15:36:44.648-08:00I have a featherweight with the case but can't...I have a featherweight with the case but can't remember the number of it. Heck, about 15 years ago I paid $500 for mine to carry when going to a doll making club. Haven't used it in years so maybe I should open it up and try it again to be sure it still works properly. Your quilting is the REAL DEAL and not the type quilting I've done in the past. <br /><br />I went to Amazon to see if I could purchase The Country Kitchen and it appears it's quite valuable now ~ you have a classic.Saundrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05442552781415793671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5885548773613247997.post-9982770656647412442020-12-30T15:15:02.149-08:002020-12-30T15:15:02.149-08:00Birdy is beautiful!

I hope the 'flourish' is something that we all can do in 2021 because I think we deserve it after all we've been through in 2020. As for photos, I went through all of ours before we moved here and I made simple album/scrapbooks for our kids from the pictures and mementoes I thought they would like to keep. Passed some on to family members, kept a good sampling, and chucked the rest. I still have too many but they're all ones that have meaning. <br />Happy 2021 - may you flourish!!!Magpie's Mumblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09852241848575954128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5885548773613247997.post-46135891081071189062020-12-30T12:51:34.684-08:002020-12-30T12:51:34.684-08:00I( always think of my beloved great aunt when I se...I( always think of my beloved great aunt when I see quilting being done.Gorges Smythehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08777621500611603786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5885548773613247997.post-34227548711920056842020-12-30T10:38:44.115-08:002020-12-30T10:38:44.115-08:00I very much like your word for 2021.

I think the thread being sewn into something beautiful is her song, flowing from her beak! I need to go through my pictures, too, of which I have so few, and get them to the few relatives I have who may treasure them. I have no one to leave them to and I don't want them just forgotten or discarded! Sometimes I see family albums at estate sales, and it breaks my heart. Thank you for introducing me to that book, I am going to look for it right away. Sounds like the kind of book that is a true keeper.Olde Dame Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01582859287218671766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5885548773613247997.post-56328955395464358902020-12-30T10:35:57.088-08:002020-12-30T10:35:57.088-08:00Your latest quilt is beautiful!
