I attended a couple of Antique shows in the area this weekend and came away with this pretty little machine along with it's original box and clamp all in excellent condition.

I also scored this beautifully carved wooden box. It is from Wheeler & Wilson sewing machines.

The fall issues of
The Canadian Quilter and
A Needle Pulling Thread magazines, both have wonderful layouts showing the winning quilts from this year's Grand National. It is always exciting to see one's work on the pages of one of these slick publications. You can learn more about The Grand National quilt show
