How old is your sewing machine?

I was just wondering how old is the machine you all sew on? I have an Elna SU , I got it the xmas of 76 and have been using it ever sense. It was $700.00 and I thought my husband would bust a gut.....The kids clothes, wedding dresses, prom dresses, baby clothes, quilts, and too many to mention. I wish I'd logged every thing I did sew on it. O, even a cover of my son pickuptruck. 33 years on this one and it is going great Knock on Wood( my head). I took it apart a while back to see if it needed dusted or what inside. It was clean as a whistle. So I guess am doing something right with it...haha.

The thought of buying a new one scares the ---- out of me. All plastic and such.....I want a good solid metal one. Mine has a few whistles on it and it works just fine.

How about any one else.....Are you true to your machine??????

Let me know.

Should have stayed in BED

Boy this Monday is the pitts......I wanted to get so much done this weekend and didn't do anything on my list. Did clean the spare bedroom and it looks nice.....but am wore out. I use to be able to do all this in 4 hrs and now it takes me 8 hrs. What a bite.......

So Sunday was a lazy day. Doing nothing.......and it makes me so mad that I do this. I've got all these ideas and too lazy to do it.....I've got to change.......

That was my week end , I hope you all did better than me.....

Surfing

Do any of you other gals surf for quilt patterns. I tell you it is better than buying a magazine. There are so many neat ideas out there. I've filled up two note books full......and of course i want to try them all......

I joined the Thimbleberries group here in town and love it. The colors are great. I chose the Bright Quilt.....it is just fun to get with the gals....... Then I joined the once a month at Specilty Quilt shop here in town. Linda is so much fun and all the gals that work there. An I joined the Missouri River Quilters Guild here also. So three times a month I am seeing and talking quilts. Can't get enough.....

Linda was so kind to save for me her cardboard from frabric and now I can really see how much fabric I really have....too much as husband says., but it always seems not the right amount or color. So I have to go and get some more....

I love the shop in Mexico, Missouri too.....really neat and Stover.....neat They are have a quilt show at Stover and I can't wait to go to that......Got to save for that one....hahah.....

Have a great week end and sew sew sew........and work on my genealogy......love the mysteries.....
