However we had a Singer in a cabinet, and in junior high school I took my first sewing class at the local Singer store. I made a horrid yellow dress that I never wore, but it taught me enough that I was off sewing everything I could. My parents paid for all my fabric purchases but store bought clothes had to come from my allowance, so I sewed everything I could imagine, made a lot of mistakes and learned a lot. I got into quilting many years later when a patient (I'm a retired dentist) came in wearing a beautiful jumper with an intricately pieced square on the bodice. My assistant and I raved so much about it that she volunteered to teach us to quilt. I have to agree with you. I love quilting and wouldn't want to give it up.Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15840292581250288090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6354718141054318215.post-8127346030295506622014-03-24T18:56:45.186-07:002014-03-24T18:56:45.186-07:00Elaine, your sewing machine brings back memories. ...Elaine, your sewing machine brings back memories. My mother's, which I think was brown, was in a cabinet. I don't think I used it much. She was a wonderful seamstress. I remember the box more than the machine - ha! I'm amazed you still use it. <br /><br />Fun to see where you started and where you are now. Quite a legacy! So much history in those stitches.
