A few minutes and a cup of coffees later, a happy mom behind her machine :-)
My dear friend Dawn surprised me with solids she bought in Lancaster. Especially a brown color attracted my eye :-)
Inspired by the tripp to the mill I had to make an Amish quilt.
The start.....
a bit later...... it needs a bit more......
After searching the web I found this picture. Yes it needs blue! Just a little bit.
And here it is: My first top on my featherweight. Now it has to come alive with my quilting stitches!

Congratulations on your "new" featherweight. How nice it must be to have a handy husband. Your Amish style quilt is great--beautiful colors. I know you'll do some wonderful quilting too.
I enjoyed seeing your Amish quilt in progress. It is beautiful! I too have a Featherweight. It comes in so handy when you want to sew at a friends house. I have also taken it to use while on vacation. Enjoy your Featherweight!
That blue was a final touch of inspiration - a sweet little quilt and what a great baptism for your featherweight!
Hi Lucy, you will love your featherweight, I love mine. Mine is the same year as yours, a 1947, with the scroll face plate. I named mine Hazel, have you named yours? LOL
Hi there Lucy, and welcome to your featherweight. I adore my two, and wouldn't trade them for anything, they make such beautiful stitches. Such a darling little quilt to make, I'm sure your machine is feeling the love!
*hugs*

Hi, Lucy, the featherweight is beautiful and so is your Amish quilt; love the progression in your post, I figured you must be up to something wonderful :-). Will you be doing Amish style quilting on it? The brown is too wonderful.
OOOooo how wonderful, a new machine...well a loved old one! :D It looks like hubby did the job!
I love your Amish quilt as well! What a great series of pictures!
I love to see pics of your quilt coming to life and your thought processes. Great quilt (love all those purples!) and congratulations on your new 'baby'.
p.s. I notice you're wearing your lovely new apron while you are sewing!
I really like that brown too.
The quilt and the FW are both great!

Congratulations on your new machine.
The quilt top and the Amish inspiration is lovely.

Congratulations on your "new" Featherweight !! (I have a 1941 model and LOVE it -- it's a great little machine!) -- AND you and your little Featherweight are doing a BEAUTIFUL job on that Amish quilt !!
Miss Lucy you have done it again! I love the little amish quilt top, now isn't that Dawn just wonderful!
It is just wonderful Lucy! I can't wait to see how you quilt it! And look at the new featherweight! Lucky, lucky you! and it is old enough to have the pretty plate on the side! LUCKY!
How exciting. I think I would like one too but I don't have any room for it. The Amish quilt is looking wonderful.
I love your amish quilt. You always make the nicest things :) Nice you have a husband who is mechanically inclined.
Another wonderful quilt . . . I know you will make many more beauties on your 'new' machine *s*
I love your featherweight congratulations! The quilt top is perfect! It looks the country and it's people.
Lucky you with your featherweight. The touch of blue in the quilt top was just what it needed. Super!
Aren't featherweights the best! I left mine at my Mom's house while we are overseas and really miss it!
Your Amish quilt top is very nice. Can't wait to see the quilting!
!Que bonito a la vez que sencillo!, me gusta mucho el mundo delos amish
Hi Lucy: I too have a featherweight. Mine is from my father, who sewed leather jackets and mocassins on it for years. It still sews perfectly. Hope you get many years of enjoyment from yours!

Very amish and wonderful...I love my 221 also!
A soo wonderful work with colours !!!
I also have a featherweight, circa 1954, but I don't use it much but it was my girls favorite machine to use for their projects.
perfect Lucy, just perfect
