Three Finishes, Two Starts & Some New Stash

I'm back from another weekend at the Pacific Ocean!  It was 3 days of stitching, eating, stitching, eating  & more stitching!
 
Here is what I worked on-


Start #1  Jeannette Douglas My Stitching Treasures


This is what it should look like when I'm finished.  This project was a gift from a very generous stitching friend and it is turning out beautifully. And yes, the box was included in the gift!

 



Start #2-Northwest Sampler Guild Huswif Needleroll
 
This is my band sampler project for the round robin starting on Oct 1st.  It's not a typical band sampler, but it is constructed in the same basic style.  It is just smaller.  I don't think any of the participants will mind a smaller project :) 
I already changed the pattern and used my own monogram instead of the sampler guild monogram.
(This was actually started before I left for the weekend. )



 
Finish #1-Renaissance Designs Eight Candles Glowing


Finish #2-Renaissance Designs Nine Stockings Swirling
 
These two Christmas pieces are off to the finisher tomorrow. Now I have only 3 more pieces to stitch to complete this series.  There is a 13th piece that says Merry Christmas, but I don't have it.
 Please email me if you know where I might be able to find it :)



 
Finish #3-Dinky Dyes & The Cat's Whiskers Winter Wonderland Biscornu
I used a scrap of misc linen from my stash and some Gloriana silk overdye thread-don't know the name (something Garden, I think)
I just need to assemble this one and it is ready for the EGA retreat exchange in Nov.


Now for some new stash-


I received the pre-stitching for this Jeannette Douglas class I'm attending in October.  Isn't it adorable?!

 
And I signed up for Patricks Woods Mr Button's Souvenir Satchel class thru Shining Needle Society.  Love this one, too!
 
 I even have a finish-finish to report!  I found a frame at a garage sale for this finished piece . It was included for free because....
 

I bought this sewing machine too! $50  I thought it was a great deal.  It is the Singer centennial edition-1851-1951.  Is this considered a featherweight?  No accessories or case.
 
It runs great, but I'm thinking about taking it out of the table and using the machine as a decoration in the house???



That's it for now.  Have a great week!

    Sure looks like a Featherweight--great find!!! There is a site where you can check the serial number from your machine and see where/when it was made. I have a list but it starts with ones manufactured in 1952. I can't remember where I found this, but if you google Singer Featherweight, you may be able to.

    Finishes are wonderful--stash enhancement, too! And I am so envious of your Singer sewing machine. The one I had of that vintage has finally died with no hope of resurrection, and I really miss it.

    Thanks for sharing all of your finishes - they are great. A couple of gals at our guild bring their Featherweight Singers on our outreach day that we sew for hospitals, etc. They are the cutest machines! Have fun with it.
