Four blocks for November Block Lotto:
Leader and ender blocks, 12 completed so far, and I really like how they look together. It took more time to select the pieces from the jumbled up 2.5" squares collection than to sew the block - but it was something to do on a couple of Thursday evenings at the quilt group! Trying to use dark and mediums, have about another 50 sets ready to sew.
This is the centre of the baby quilt. Have cut the borders and selected a backing.
I saw an advert for this treadle Singer, was told by the antique dealer that it was about 80 years old, but on looking up the serial number is was, like me, born in the 1950's, and I know I'm a long way from 80! He said it belonged to his +90-year-old mother's cousin who had it from new, and was sewing on it until very recently. It turned beautifully smoothly. Maybe I'll go back and see if it is still there!
