I think Patreon is a great idea. I do, however, have one question. If we become your Patrons, does that mean we are your bosses? Oh, the mind boggles at that thought! LOL!

I have to get to the post office tomorrow to mail off birthday cards and the lotto FQs. Fun fun!

[ofenjen]

Oh, haha, yes, absolutely, you've been my bosses all along! ;)

I'm mailing my cards tomorrow, too. Yay for finally beginning!

That featherweight looks amazingly clean, the case even looks to be in good shape, which I understand is less likely than finding the featherweight itself. So congratulations on the new machine!

I have had my fat quarters for the birthday swap picked out since last week, but still need to do something about the cards.

It was SO clean. I should have taken a photo. There was hardly any dust on it at all. It must have been kept in the case when not in use.

Yay, birthday swap! ♥

Thanks for the reminder about birthday swaps, will get mine posted this week , I had completely forgot.

Great find on the machine it looks on really good condition xxxx

[ofenjen]

Of course! I'll try to keep reminding everyone as we go along since the birthdays are so spread out.

Nice sewing machine! So exciting!

I need to catch back up on PPV. But also, I need to make a signature block for you too. Soon, I hope, but I've been super into making this one particular quilt lately that hasn't left me time for working on other things.

My birthday FQs are all off in the mail. You might need to hold onto yours for a little while before opening - wait for your birthday, lady!

[ofenjen]

I am silly happy about my sweet little sewing machine!

You're making me wait to open my birthday Fat Quarters?! How you torture me!!

I'm not in a hurry for the signature block, as long as you send it this year!

I'm loving the Singer. It's a little workhorse! My friend Sarah (mentioned in this video) has also been trying very hard to find a Featherweight. If you ever want to let yours go to a very good home, I'm sure she'd love to rehome your smelly machine. ;)

Patreon has been an interesting experience. So far, so good!

[ofenjen]

Oh no, a smelly case! How very unfortunate. O_O

I do expect my friend will find one someday. She's tried several auctions online, but her budget is very tight and so far she's been outbid. She currently sews on a late 1800s hand-crank Singer, but her dream machine is a Necchi Bu.

I have all the attachments for my Singer 301 (also straight stitch). The zig zag one is especially entertaining. It moves the fabric back and forth!here's a video someone else shared. Fortunately, my little Janome has fiftyish stitches so I can do anything non-straight stitch on that machine.
