My friend Christine spotted this little machine at an op shop recently. As she has a vintage singer she offered this little cutie to me - only $40 so I didn't hesitate.... I have always fancied a 'vintage' machine but not enough to spend too much money on one!
My first Elna... and she is a cutie....
the sides open up and can slip off....
I am still working out turning the dials.... the one on the right is hard but I believe there is a knack to it and need to have the one on the left in the correct place... so far no luck so I will be taking it to my wonderful machine servicing man.
I just love this little speed control with the hare and the tortoise... I always loved Aesop's fables....
... she can sew.. the tension is not perfect - she will go for a service and check over and I'm sure we will become great friends....
.. she doesn't have all her accesories ... I will look out for some of the missing ones, including the darning foot and plate as I would like to try quilting on her....
... speaking of quilting I worked on this lovely quilt a couple of weeks ago... I rather like those hearts in the border....
.. and I have done a few of the Splendid Sampler blocks ..... I am a bit of a way behind but not too worried.... they will get done in time....
Shell designed by Jane Davidson....
Homeward Bound....
At Home Anywhere....
I had a space on my design wall so I put up my Dutch Treat blocks to have a look .... you can start seeing the idea I am going for with the colours... I am still working on blues and then I have some greens and browns to do....
Righto, Gotto Go.... I need to trace out some more DT blocks .....
