I know, I know....

enough about my birthday already! LOL I just had to show you one more gift that I received and before you say or think it, I know that I am spoiled! My friend Sharon gave me a Singer Featherweight....see....

Isn't she pretty? Long story short, I had one once and sold it and regretted it ever since and Sharon, who cooks way more than she sews, gave me hers! Sharon is probably the most generous person I've ever known and is such a blessing to me and my family. Thank you girlfriend! p.s. the picture was taken with my new Iphone...thanks honey :o)

It's going to be a busy few days around these parts....Dear Jane support group is tonight and "sew silly" is Friday night at the Quilting Post here in Stillwater. Saturday is my Allie's 17th birthday! Can't believe my baby is that old....geez seems like just yesterday.......anyway, we've got a "girls day" scheduled so I'll tell you about all of that later.
Enjoy your day! ranette

OMGoodness! What an awesome gift!!! That's nice that she gave it to someone who will totally appreciate it.

I have always wanted one of these to display on my mantle. My cousin uses this to sew at all her workshops and gatherings.

You lucky girl!!!! I guess it was worth having a birthday!

What a great gift! And a great girlfriend too. The Featherweight is very pretty indeed, she shines! Have fun with both your new gifts, the Iphone makes good pictures.
Have fun also with all the quilting activities the following days and especially with the girls day at your daughters birthday. My 'baby' will be 17 also next month.

What a good friend you have. Sounds like you've had a great birthday - happy belated day! Sounds like you have been having a great run of days.

Yes, hard to believe it when our babies grow up.

Wow what a lovely gift. I too am on the lookout for a fw. I saw one at the antique market last week and came home without it. Silly me. Enjoy!!

Yes, you are one lucky lady. That is a beautiful featherweight. Enjoy it and keep it forever....maybe to be given to that 17 year old daughter someday. ;D
