Serendipity: the gift of finding valuable or agreeable things not sought for. (To quote the dictionary.)
As you know, I went to the Omaha Quilter's Guild quilt show on June 25th. While looking at a booth that had Featherweight sewing machines, a lady made the pronouncement that she had a Featherweight at home she was willing to sell for a lot less than what they had. So I turned to her and told her I was interested and gave her my name and phone number. When she didn't call, I just took it to mean that it wasn't meant to be and that I wouldn't hear from her. Well, on Thursday she gave me a call and we met on Saturday and made the exchange. I'm so excited! I grew up learning to sew on this kind of machine and my sister is the proud owner of that one. I have thought it would be nice to have one, but wasn't really looking hard for one. So now I have a light weight machine to take to quilt retreats. Going to spend some time this week bonding with it.

Lucky you!!! We saw those at the show too, I found out later that a lady I know bought the purple one.
Karen, that is so cool! Have fun spending time with your new Best friend this coming week :)
Oh! I am so happy for you Karen! I am so glad you have a Featherweight!! The sewing elves have taken my bobbin holder in my sewing room, so until I find that, I won't know if my new cord I got at the Omaha show works. :(

Oh my gosh! I just got a Featherweight too! I am so excited! Did you look it up on the Singer site for its "born on" date? These little machines are the best!

So happy for you! I know you are going to love it. I have had one for 4 years now. We bought it from a lady who hardly used it at all. It hummmmmms beautifully. You can find the date it was born. Mine was born in Elizabeth, Ill. in 1938.
I am new at your blog, followed you from another and I will visit you again soon!
Happy sewing, Carolyn
