Beautiful quilt, too. But most of all, I want to say how cute your Mum is! I don't even know her, but I love her! Good story about bringing the machine back, too. I began my sewing life on a cabinet model very much like yours.

I love that your mom and dad had that chair since they were married, I am akin to things with history and stories behind them. I find these days we toss things out too quickly for something new. I prefer vintage and antique - kind of like that amazing sewing machine that your mom passed down to you. What a wonderful gift. I look forward to hearing your adventures with it!!!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07919462028551674067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6084345492228741132.post-35209429180548236352013-09-17T21:36:16.886-04:002013-09-17T21:36:16.886-04:00What a wonderful post, thank you so much for shari...What a wonderful post, thank you so much for sharing!Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08505601972394728298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6084345492228741132.post-88657212631635704832013-09-17T21:36:15.458-04:002013-09-17T21:36:15.458-04:00My dad died last year and my mom sits in his chair...My dad died last year and my mom sits in his chair too. I had never really thought about what her life would be like without him, because he was just always there. Right after he died, she didn't seem to even want to look at it, but now, it is her spot. It seems to be comforting to her too, something I never would have expected. <br /><br />Lovely trip you had. Glad you all had such great times together.

The wonderful love between you, your mum and dad, his chair and shirts, the apron, hairdresser and then the Singer. It was a trip down my memory lane, too. It is exactly the model I learned to machine sew on! I can still recall the smell, the light and the spinning sound, although it is now slumbering in my brother's attic. As my own computerised machine has just given in after only 18 years, maybe I should have asked bro for it and put it in my luggage when returning from Sweden to Japan, alas my luggage was full already!!! Enjoy every minute of work on your treasure!Queeniepatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13281330411053716603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6084345492228741132.post-87931157894405753482013-09-17T20:51:01.833-04:002013-09-17T20:51:01.833-04:00Lovely post!
