I'm a crocheter since childhood. Am also accomplished in hand spinning, weaving and knitting. Recently retired after working in a yarn shop for 12 years. Burnt out on knitting but rediscovering a love for sewing and vintage sewing machines. I currently have 10 vintage machines, 2 of which are treadles. I am piecing this entire quilt using my 1915 White FR model 12 treadle sewing machine named Backwards Betty. Backwards because I often forget that her wheel has to turn "away" from me, instead of towards me like my other machines. This will be my first real quilt. I did make a doll sized quilt for my little Yorkie.
