This is my favourite sewing machine- A Singer Drawing Room Cabinet with a Gingerbread or Tiffany 15K Head. Dating to 1908 and complete with Puzzlebox. We even have the aftermarket Handcrank with Gingerbread Decals to go with her.

Quite a few years ago now I did a workshop with Jenny Bowker.

I made a quilt of my favourite Treadle and above a wonderful holiday we had on Kangaroo Island. The scene is of Remarkable Rocks.

This quilt was before the reproduction era. I have used all sorts of mediums Foils, Fabric Dyeing, colouring pencil. The decorative wood carvings are actually quilted on the quilt.  I learnt many things making this quilt and had a lot of fun.

This is my first post using Windows Live Writer . I guess I will learn more about it as I go along.

Take Care and Have a very Happy and Safe Easter Break.

This is the prettiest cabinet I've ever seen!! I just got one like it myself, except mine is not in as wonderful condition as yours. Mine came with a 1906 Pheasant decal #27 in it. Your Tiffany 15 is gorgeous!!! Does your cabinet have a wooden pitman, or a metal one?? Is yours oak??
