I use a sewing machine and thread to draw pictures. Oh, wait. I gave my big Bernina creative machine to my sister who wanted to learn how to quilt. Now, my pictures are smaller because I saved it to do my charity quilts on. My husband died, so now I don't have anyone to take pictures of my work on a day-to-day basis. I do know how to turn the other one to a paintbrush and bought the correct foot a couple of months back, but am so busy making quilt tops I haven't engaged in my favorite use of my small sewing machine and use it as my paintbrush with free motion knowledge I have from a class I took 40 years ago in Jackson, Wyoming from the best quilt instructors in America. Right now, I'm just making charity quilts that are pieced, not machine embroidered. However, I'm getting the yen to buy another electric sewing-quilting-embroidery machine to replace my old one. Unfortunately, they're very expensive, and I'm a senior citizen whose only income is social security since I told my quilt store helpers in Wyoming to keep the rent I used to get to buy charity quilt fabric in my Texas home where we moved in 2009 because of poor health, and now I'm a senior widow who is happy to have the time and energy to make baby quilts for single moms with childraising commitments and whose man left them for other pursuits. I just used this week's social security check to buy heaters when a single mom told me her mobile home was cold (she has 5 children one son of which is a babe in arms.Do you use a sewing machine?
Veritasium: The Surprising Genius of Sewing Machines
Sewing machines are mechanical marvels – here’s how they work. A huge thanks to Prof. Andy Ruina for suggesting this video topic, guiding us in the research, and giving deeply insightful notes. Massive thanks to Noah Johnson and Tina ...littlegreenfootballs.com
I know so much about quilts. I sewed them and sold them for years. My best seller was called the Tennessee Waltz. by Judy Martin.I'm little by little working on a blue and bright yellow Charity Bees quilt, but have been suffering a bad cold and back pain due to age, so about the only thing I can do is play solitaire and sudoku to keep the brain function going. So glad you're back.

It was a ton of work. So much so- I had 3 men working in my kitchen. 1400 pieces.
One would sew the squares together- another one would sit there and snip the pieces apart. I supplied the beer- and they were happy! darn it- men can sew. LOL
till this day-I am still fascinated with the variations in the design. I look them up once in awhile.. luv
