I decided it was time to start eliminating my herd of vintage sewing machines. I put one n Facebook market place ( a 1938 Singer 15-91 with knee lever) to see what happens. I was surprised that it sold within 24 hours! It went to a nice lady who just rest retired and has a long arm. I've been looking for someone to do a couple of my really big quilts and she agreed. I just dread trying to iron that acre of backing to get it ready. And... she love piecing with really small pieces -- loves Bonnie Hunter. guess who is gong to get a big bag of scraps that i thought I would do something with, but know I'll never get to it.

That is the prettiest "neutral" or tan-brown quilt I've ever seen; I think it is the white fabrics you included that put the sparkle in it. Great job on that one.

Wow! You found yourself a longarmer who will also chip away at your mountain of scraps and buy one of your of vintage Singers? How lucky can a gal get?
Ironing the backing is a small price to pay. Put some good music on (Irish jigs?) and dance by the ironing board.

Very nice quilts. Sounds ikea your vintage machine went to a great home and you found someone to help get your quilts done too...win/win.

Thanks, Judy. I call it 50 shades of brown. As for the pressing of the backing--I don't mind the standing, I just wish I had a bigger area to spread out. I do have a big board, but it is close to the wall and other furniture so by the time I get part of it pressed, it gets wrinkled when I move it over to do more. I'm tempted to put a piece of plywood on saw horses!
