Another Vintage Singer Sewing Machine

I added this vintage Singer 327K in December of 2013.... I found her in ATL in almost mint condition, I say almost because her case looks a bit worn, but she's a beauty and is a true workhorse!! She'll sew through anything and makes no fuss about it, she's quiet and trustworthy.... Everything a quilter wants and needs in an all metal sewing machine, and that color!! Swoon Worthy!! 

My new Vintage Singer 301A

This machine came highly recommended by fellow quilters, she's one of several made in and around 1951, in her original cabinet with all of her attachments!! She's been cleaned, lubed and oiled and soon to be sharing floor space with her relatives in my sewing room.... Soon as we make some room....

This was the day I brought this beauty home, I didn't know the dimensions of her cabinet so I didn't have her in the sewing room yet.... She was patiently waiting in the dining room for several days until I made room for her! 

This was the spot we carved out for her but it was a difficult work space because it felt cramped to work in that tiny space.... So we moved her again....

Now she loves her new home and I'm comfortable sitting over here , there's good lighting, everything's accessible.... There's even a small ironing table nearby!!  She's very close to her cousins so I'm sure they're busy catching up while in use!! 

Black and White Animal Quilt

This quilt pattern is from the McCalls Quilt Magazine dated Nov/ Dec 2011, it's the photo/ pattern on the cover of the magazine, McCalls did their quilt in Christmas colors.... This quilt was pieced on my Vintage 301A Singer and she sews well, really well!!

I chose the teal because it just makes the various black and white animal prints pop....  and because I just love teal with black and white!! This is an easy pattern to piece and it literally took one day to assemble and sew!! 

The quilters ruler holder is Swoon Worthy

I love this thing, it has plenty of empty slots for more rulers and its close to my work station so all I have to do is reach out and grab the ruler I need!! No more hunting in drawers, under tables, in cracks and crevices looking for the ruler I know I have!! 

Sewing Room Newbies

Found  this old school house desk some years ago and forgot it was being stored in my hubs business warehouse, well I found it again and thanks to some pins on Pinterest I repurposed this old desk into an ironing table with storage underneath for the sewing machine attachments, patterns, sewing boxes, fabric stash bins... I mean the possibilities were endless with his desk, but the Sewing Room won!! I love it, it's fantastic!! Besides now I don't have to curse that poor little ironing board I had been using! 

My dear sweet brother in law made me this awesome quilters ruler organizer, it's made of oak and has several extra slots for more rulers!!  Now I just need to hash out a plan of action and explanation to the hubs as to why I need more rulers!! What are you using to house all your rulers??
