Interrupting the CQI Annual Retreat to bring you the 5th day of my Whazzit Contest!  Now you can see pretty well all of this device.  So, to win a lovely baggie of goodies, leave a comment on this post telling me what your best guess is for what this is.  One comment per day per person please!  I`ll go through the posts and moderate them when I get back home from Colorado and determine the winner.  Good luck!  Now, back to the retreat...

I had no idea from the first photo. I've never seen one but think it is a knitting machine probably for socks because of the round shape. :) What a teaser!

Well, perhaps it's an embroidery machine? I'm guessing. Am I out in left field?

G'day Kerry, I think it's a machine that makes braids or cords.

I have gone from a chain saw to this guess. Is it a knitting machine for hosiery!

Hi Kerry,

I posted a comment on this post but it hasn't shown up. I guessed a knitting machine. I hope the post didn't get lost.

That is a knitting machine. Used for socks, baby tights and I am sure other tubular things.

Giveaway Day! (CLOSED)

I am very happy to be joining in the Giveaway Day through Sew, Momma, Sew .  I have chosen to share one of my finds from a shopping trip, or treasure hunts as I think of them.  This is an antique sewing box -  I could not resist it when I saw it for sale!  Were you able to guess the item from the sneak peek earlier in the week? The box itself is fairly small, 8 inchs X 6 inchs and 4 inches high (20 cm X 15 cm and 10 cm high).  From my research it is of Asian origin. Inside the sewing box is lined with hand-painted silk.  The inside of the lid features a neat little needlebook. In the bottom of the sewing box there are more beautiful hand-painted blossoms and an attached pincushion.  I hope you are as charmed by this little box as I was when I found it and that you will enter my giveaway.  I will be pleased to mail internationally so everyone is invited to enter. To enter, visit my Etsy shop and then come back and leave me a comment telling me which item you like best.  Feel fr

Save the Stitches Finished!

 I finally finished my "Covid Project"!  I worked on Elizabeth Almond's beautiful blackwork sampler design, "Save the Stitches" for much longer than I would like to admit...  I have to say though that it was very satisfying every step of the way.  I have not been able to concentrate on stitching in any significant way for some time now due to chronic pain and the dullness that the pain meds cause but having finished this piece gives me hope for my stitching future.  I also love the framing which was lovingly done by MJ of "Art Effects" in High River, Alberta.

BAS - Week 79 - Feather Stitch Variations

I have about the next twenty BAS stitches scheduled and by happy coincidence this week's BAS is a series of Feather Stitch variations which coincide with this week's TAST stitch if you are following.  So, we can hit two birds with one stone!  These hardly look like feather stitch but they are.  They are created by making the "v"'s of the feather stitch vertical on the inside.  Very simple to do but a different look to an old stitch.  The second variation is created by doing two feather stitches at a time on each side, again making sure the inside of your "v"s are vertical and line up as much as possible. Same thing again in this one except they are in series of three.  To me these have the look of stitching on old crazy quilts so they are nice to add to your stable of stitch variations.  Hope you  enjoy them and have fun!
