He Loves Me!!!!!!

He loves me, he loves me!!!! I just couldn't wait until morning to show you what appeared in my quilting room while I was at work, today!! I helped Tanya set up for a quilt show in Greenville, Ohio, today. A very cute town. I didn't get home until after 6:00, and then the older boys had an evening outing and I needed to make them some cookies to take with them- peanutbutter with peanutbutter chips. Yum! And so it was about 7:00 when Bill asked me if I had found anything in my quilting room... I said, I was trying real hard to not even go out there, this week, because I was under a no-sew rule... but now, I was too curious not to go out there... and I confess to sewing- just a tiny bit. This Electro-Grand was sitting on my sewing table in it's original box!! Oh, what a delight to open it and see that gorgeous blue color!! It is in excellent condition- the chrome could use some attention with some fine steel wool, but other than that- no a speck of lint. Made in Japan. 1950's, I figure. Looks a lot like my Singer 301. It didn't run, at first, but after some fiddling with the screw that moves the motor further away from the wheel, and oiling it from top to bottom- runs beautifully and makes a very straight stitch. I plan on replacing the belt, soon. The cord looks great and I bet the extention cord is the same one they bought with the machine. It reads Electro-cord. Way cool, huh? And you know the best part- other than it's beautiful and runs great? It only cost $4.99 at Goodwill!!!! How could he go wrong?
