Pat Sloan: The Sweet Life - Block 7

Are you ready to sew Block 7 of my quilt The Sweet Life?

Learning to sew in High School was pretty much life changing. I took Home Ec, and even though my friends from HS didn't like it, I was over joyed to be in that class! From sewing to cooking, I learned so much and loved every minuted.

My mom and dad had brought an old sewing machine to Europe with them, the kind where you used a knee press to run it.. remember those? 

Once I showed this HUGE interest in sewing, they got me a 'Genie' on European current. I LOVE that machine! It didn't come to college with me, instead they bought me a new machine to take to college. How lucky was I? 

What was YOUR first machine?
