Quilters Love their Machines

I love sewing machines,

even toy machines.

I know quilters who still

quilt by hand.  For most

of my friends though, the

 machine is the thing.

We all have so many ideas

for quilts in our heads and

we will never have enough

time to make them all.

Machines help us get those

quilts finished much faster.

Think back to a time when

everything was made by

hand.  The treadle machine

must have changed things

so drastically.

Many of these toys were

made at a time when little

girls would see their Moms

sewing as a part of everyday

life.  Does that happen anymore?

Will sewing become a thing

of the past if there is no one

to teach future generations?

Will people in the future

look at these machines

and ask what were they for?

Here is a modern machine,

made for kids and well...

Hello Kitty fans.

I guess there is

still hope.
