The Lucky Girl for the OFB Giveaway #2 is "Lindsay" !
So, dear Lindsay, please email me (jbaumeister@cox.net) your name and address so I can get your treasures off to you!
I thank you all for visiting me at my Old Fashioned Baby Sewing Room. I so enjoy your comments!! We are indeed Kindred Spirits.
Just for fun, I have compiled a (probably inaccurate) list of the information that I received from all of you who commented on this giveaway post. I asked how many Sewing Machines you all had. Very interesting !! I did my best to count the machines you listed but sometimes it was hard to be sure. This is not science!
The average sewist owns 3.77 sewing machines.
One person listed 11 machines and one person listed 10!!
Surprisingly (to me anyway) there were 6 ladies who own only one machine. I have a vision of you six ladies as being neat, tidy, practical and completing each project before starting another! The winner was among you!
Suzanne said .."my favorite machine is my hands. They're always with me and don't require electricity." I like her words because I love hand work too. But I do alot of machine construction.
ElizabethRose said she owns a 1876 New Home Treadle machine and plans to make a baby dress on it just to say she did it. Well, I said the very same thing several years ago to my husband when I bought a nice treadle machine "Honey, I need it so I can sew my designs on an old machine just like they used to do". ( He does not know that they actually used to sew baby clothes by hand). My ambition is still to sew a baby gown with my treadle machine but I haven't done it yet. Hmmmm maybe there are more of us and we can unite and encourage each other! We can call ourselves the "Treadlers".
I love this!! More than one of you names their Sewing Machines which I think is so quaint. I love naming things! I would name my machines too, but at this point in my life I would not be able to remember their names so I'll just call them all "Honey"!
