Brother 220 Super Streamliner Pink Sewing Machine and Shoes!

My thrift shop finds for the week - A Pink Brother 220 Super Streamliner sewing machine, with matching pink shoes!  I'll look so stylish while sewing.  I suppose I need to sew up a pink polka dotted dress to complete the ensemble.

This machine clearly hadn't been run for quite some time.  It had minimal lint, but needed a lot of SMO (sewing machine oil).  I got it up and running, but the motor is sparking a little.  My husband got involved, and took the motor apart, but didn't resolve the problem.  From reading online, the sparks may go away after running the machine for a while, or they might not.  I could replace the motor with another one.  I'm sure I could find one in my machine collection, but....it wouldn't be pink.  What would you do?  Please leave a comment below.

Have a wonderful day!

Aura Hexagon Quilting Complete

Here are some more pics of the quilting on the Aura hexagon quilt.

I have lots of thread ends to tuck in.

I quilted a swirl pattern in each individual hexagon, excepting the yellow accent hexies.

It's a pink mountain peak!

It was a lot of fun, using all fabrics from my scrap basket for this quilt. 

Each piece reminds me of another quilting project.

Cool how they can all go together into one quilt.

This is the end!  The last little corner.  Time to tuck in all those thread ends.  I always wait until the quilting is finished and then tuck them all in at the same time.  How do you handle your thread ends?  Leave a comment below.

Have a wonderful, colorful day!

My Little Helper

This is Shadow, my quilting buddy.  Shadow is afraid of the vacumn cleaner, my husband, and large birds, but he has no fear of the quilting machine.  Why is this?  The first time he ever dared to enter my home, I was quilting.  Does the machine sound like a giant mama kat purring?  It's a mystery.

  

Yesterday I was able to work on the Aura hexagon quilt for most of the afternoon.

It's getting close.  I can see the edge.  Maybe I will be able to finish the quilting during my next session.  I can't wait to see how it looks when it comes off the rails.

Do you have a quilting helper?  Leave a comment below.

Have a wonderful day!

Quilting the Aura Hexagon Quilt

I'm quilting the Aura hexagon quilt.

And sharing some pics of the quilting in progress.

I've decided to swirl quilt the whole top.

I'm quilting a single swirl in each hexagon, except the little pops of yellow here and there, to make them stand out even more.

I'm quilting with a rainbow of thread, changing the thread color often, to match the fabric colors.

I'm using Superior's King Tut Cotton Quilting Thread, my favorite thread.

And a few more pictures for you to enjoy...

You can see the fun dotty backing fabric in this photo.

This is where I stopped to cook some spaghetti, corn, and homemade bread.  Yum!

What did you have for dinner?

Have a colorful day!
