My post on the Petaluma Antique Fair was at the beginning of the summer in May. See<br /><br />http://wanderorponder.blogspot.com/2015/05/petaluma-antique-fair.html<br /><br />When the vintage Singer was given to me the women told me that it did work. I have not tested it out other than to merely turn it on. But at least now I have found a shop that can tune it up for me if needed. Twice Nice Shoppe specializes in vintage sewing machines.DianeLoves2Quilthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12704655734477952685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8828752146646515017.post-23212408672475802262015-09-24T11:37:42.198-07:002015-09-24T11:37:42.198-07:00Ah!

They are very flamboyant. Her husband claimed she wanted shock and wow value when she took it out a quilt classes. The vendor told me that Purple and Candy Apple Red are the most popular color choices. I love many many colors but I am also pretty fickle about which are my favorites over time. I did not want to pick something way off the wall and regret it later. Henry Ford told people they could have a Model T car in any color they wanted as long as it was black. I think a classic Singer is not that different from a classic Ford. I talked to one staff member at my local quilt shop who is also a long arm quilter and she owns two or three feather weights in different colors. Now that is a bit extreme! As to those German name suggestions... bring 'em on! I welcome suggestions.

Yes, it too is a black Singer and I hope to display that in the family room when we redecorate in there. I just bought a better beautiful refurbished cabinet for it at an antique fair a few months ago.DianeLoves2Quilthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12704655734477952685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8828752146646515017.post-81290329382223037232015-09-23T17:43:39.528-07:002015-09-23T17:43:39.528-07:00Thanks for visiting and giving me such upbeat comm...Thanks for visiting and giving me such upbeat comments!DianeLoves2Quilthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12704655734477952685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8828752146646515017.post-62356899328786816022015-09-23T17:39:00.635-07:002015-09-23T17:39:00.635-07:00Thanks for visiting and for all the congratulation...Thanks for visiting and for all the congratulations.

I'm a total color girl too, but when it comes to some things, I just prefer simple and classic. But it looks like the purple one would have made me debate back and forth for quite some time.<br /><br />P.S. if you need a some nice German name suggestions, I could send you a few!

You sew so beautifully! I love your new sewing machine. Fiona is a beauty. It is good to know that someone refurbishes machines. They do such hard work. They deserve to be spiffed up, loved, and used again. Good thinking about being able to take it to classes, etc. Tell Frank he done good in treating you for your anniversary!
