If you're counting -- my sisters/friends and I have FIVE FEATHERWEIGHTS.
So -- who would get Featherweight #6??
THIS GIRL....
 |
| Deb found this WHITE Featherweight on Craigslist. All she had to do was drive to St. Louis (she lives in Nashville)... |
NO PROBLEM..!!
And if anybody is deserving of a beautiful little Featherweight, it is my sister Deborah. She sews more than anybody I know. She came to the Sister Sewing Weekend with a laundry basket full of projects!!
 |
| Deb works at a large apartment complex, and she makes a pillowcase for each new tenant...(many of them are college kids) |
 |
| She made the apron as a gift for her boss. |
 |
| This Mondo bag was an amazing pattern, and she demo-ed it for us... |
 |
| Deb does a lot of machine embroidery. |
But, the truth is -- of the many, many projects she did during our weekend, 80% of them involved straight stitch sewing. So -- YES, MAYBE SHE NEEDS A FEATHERWEIGHT, too, eh??
 |
| BOOM...!! |
Honestly -- before our Sisters Sewing weekend, I don't think Deb EVER considered a Featherweight. Her last three sewing machines probably cost $5,000 each. WOW. But by the time she was closing the deal on this little beauty, she already had a name for her...embroidered on a special little mat.....it is my pleasure to introduce you to the newest member of our Featherweight family.

| Some of you may be thinking that Deborah just HAD TO OUTDO THE REST OF US...by finding a sweet, rare little White Featherweight. But she assures us that's not true...it just happened that way... |
Welcome to our Featherweight Flock, Izzy. You have landed in a very good place...
Maybe you're thinking now that ALL MY SISTERS and friends have Featherweights -- this line of blogging must be over. You would be wrong...
There's more...
