New tires for my machine and other goodies

The other day I dropped my Dad off at physical therapy and visited my local quilt store. I told myself all I was going to buy was new tires…….bobbin winder tires for my old Singer sewing machines.

Last fall I bought a couple 15-91 Singers (my favorite) and as you can see….the tires are old and cracked.

Well……I just had to take a look at the sale fabric………..and…well, you know…….

I thought maybe the green would look like turquoise with my Easy Street quilt……if not it was a good addition to my stash…..then I saw this lime fabric which I knew would match perfectly so I added a couple yards of that to my pile. When I got home I started thinking that if I use this for a border I am going to have to do some fancy quilting on it. It would be great for feathers……back to practicing my feathers!

  1. Hi Connie, I was wondering if you had an online place where you bought pieces and parts for your 15-91? I bought one last year, and it's in great shape, but would like to have a place I can go to get parts if need be. Thanks.

  2. Love that line green – That other green might make a good inner border – you know the skinny one?

  7. Hi Connie. It's always fun to hit a sale ; ) I have an old treadle machine that needs a belt. I don't imagine I'd use it so it sits there…
