National Sewing Machine Day! & some stitching!

Happy National Sewing Machine Day!  June 13th is the first of TWO National Sewing Machine Days!  The second one is September 10th.  Sewing machines are so wonderful that they get TWO days to celebrate!

In honor of National Sewing Machine Day, here are some photos of my latest sewing machine.  I got this machine back in April, but never posted any photos.  This is a 1950 White Rotary Series 77.  It is in a lovely desk/cabinet.

In the top drawer of the desk is a holder for broken needles and pins (the black circle).  It has a glass jar that holds the needles (you can't see the jar).

This machine also came with all sorts of attachments, including a button hole maker and a zig zagger.

This lovely machine needs a new home (I'm out of room for cabinets).  If you know of someone that would be interested, this machine is in the western suburbs of Chicago.

I have been stitching, too.  I made 4 pin cushions.

 

I also made a mini Penguin quilt.

I finished two more Ukulele's for someone else (his wife and his sister in law).

I also made a dress for my granddaughter and a matching one for her doll. 

The dress was from material that was already smocked and layered.  All I had to do was to stitch the seams and add the straps. 

Now to get the dress in the mail.

I did get the last baby quilt quilted, but I still have to sew on the binding.  I also got 5 game board quilts basted.
