Quilt Making Day

Today was a quilt making day. First photo is my cutting "station". You can see the Alto 2 cutting system that my daughter gave to me. She didn't like it all that much. And after using it I can see why. I don't think it's any better than a good cutting mat, long straight edge and a 45 degree plastic template.
This second photo is of my "machine". An "oldie, but a goodie". Hmmm! I may resemble that statement. Now I did complete a small quilt for a Swap. But I won't show it yet. Don't want my swap partner to see it just yet. I still have to bind it. However, the small pieces of fabric in the first photo is all that is left of the charm pack she sent me to use....

I love the machine. My mom had one like that and so did my gramma. The point, not being to make you feel old, but I think thier sewing machines lived longer than they did. Those were awesome machines (Are awesome!)
