BH MQ En Provence 2016 Step #4

This is the first attempted link up of this MQ year !!!  I'm hoping it works.   I decided to sew the MQ on the Treadle.   So far EVERYTHING has been done on it.  She is a 1920 Red Eye Treadle,   She sews really well and is very smooth.

The other machine was a black 1956-1959 singer,  case and box had seen better days,  didn't even look look at it, the featherweight was plugged up, moter ran, machine was dirty, needed some work, something I could attempt to fix.....decided to think about it.      DS (dear sister) was called/faebooked for consultation.... She was appauled that I eve...

BH MQ Clue #5

This was an easy clue for Christmas week.  I had it knocked out in no time.    I discovered why I ran low on my purples.   I had ordered my kit from Whittles and failed to read that pink was being used as the lavender.   OOPS......Since I'm not a pink person,   I'm not too upset about that, but will have to work on replacing the cwr purples at some point.  .     I'm still treadling away in this project and am contemplating on attempting to do the quilting on the treadle too.  I've never done any quilting on the treadle,  so I will have to practice and It would be straight  lines only
