Subject: RE: BS: Why don't they make simple appliances?
Sorcha - I love your quilts - especially the lovely antique you were lucky enough to inherit. I had to buy my antique quilt!
Bruce, what a nice bloke you are, to buy your Susan a new Bernina, they are great. I still have the Singer treadle machine that my grandmother bought in 1925 to sew my mother's baby clothes, and of course it still works. My brother gave me another Singer treadle machine last year because his neighbour was going to throw it out, even though it was in excellent condition with original accessories, manual and even the key to the door locks...which also fits my Nanna's machine as they are the same model. My ambition is to make a quilt on the old machines. One day. If ever I can afford to retire from paid work......
