If there’s a pink one I’ll find it!

Look what I found on Shabby Fabrics blog!  Jennifer has the same pink sewing machine I do!

I know Jennifer loves pink.  I just didn’t know she was as crazy about it as I am!  Humm, wonder if she has a pink coffee maker?  The best thing is Jennifer is having a give away too!  Leave a comment and you could win!

You know about my pink fetish and now you know about Jennifer’s too.  Here’s something you might not know about!  The shank from the Pfaff sewing machines will also fit most featherweight machines. So why would you want a Pfaff shank on your featherweight?  Because then you can use most of the Pfaff snap on feet, including the 1/4″ foot and open toe foot!

 

Take your featherweight to the nearest Pfaff dealer and try the shank on your machine.  I love sewing with the Pfaff 1/4″ foot. (If you want the 1/4″ foot with the drop down guide, make sure you try it first on your machine.  It may drag a bit on the bottom depending on your machine.)   

Today at Bunny Hill I’m going to be sewing 6 pieced blocks for my new Christmas Block of the Month, on my pink featherweight.   Was that a hint?  6 pieced blocks & Christmas Block of the Month?

Guess the theme of my new block of the month and you’ll be automatically entered into my drawing!  That’s right, what’s the theme of my new Christmas Block of the Month and your name goes into the basket for the drawing. 

Hugs,

Anne

    Hi, Anne! I’m wondering, since you’re sewing the pieced blocks on your ‘Featherweight’….maybe the theme for your Christmas block of the month is birds? Anyhow, I think they’d make a darling Christmas quilt, so that’s my guess :-)

  • Charity

    Hmm! My guess for the new pattern would be “pink holiday” I think you will be pulling inspiration from your recent trip abroad. And I think the name has a sense of sofistication.
    Or, Maybe you are just mischeviously using all of these ideas as ispiration. Either way you are one creative gal. Keep up the good work. I love following along.

    How about “Bunnies Love the Twelve Days of Christmas” with bunnies doing each of the verses of the songs?

    Would be wonderful! :-)

    Bunnies of Christmas is my guess 6 Bunnies of Christmas or 12 Bunnies of Christmas. Just anything Bunnies! Bunnies, Bunnies and more Bunnies. Oh Yeah, Pink Bunnies of Christmas

  • Laura

    Hmmm I think maybe you are creating a Christmas village for us? I think with your touch that would be an amazing quilt.

  • Jean

    How about The 12 Days of Christmas-The 12 Blocks of Christmas with rabbits doing all the parts?

    Did you know that you can free motion quilt on a featherweight? Get the special foot, put the stitch regulator in neutral and away you go! I have a featherweight service man that has all kinds of wonderful gadgets for the featherweight. He paints them as well. When I was there last he had one painted like the American flag!!! He only paints the ones that are too scratched up to be restored to their former glory, however.

    Six blocks seems like it would be Santa’s six small reindeer? But I like all the birds that are in blogland right now so that’s a possibility. Of course, there are always new ways for the bunnies to make an appearance! My favorite guess, though, is still a Christmas town…

  • Paulette

    I think your theme MIGHT be something to do with children’s Christmas dreams, sort of like Visions of Sugarplums but with toys and other childhood wishes. Was that vague enough?

  • AnnieO

    That’s a cute Featherweight–right up your alley for sure!

    My guess on your next Christmas BOM theme is Stars. I love star blocks and am always happy to see them in a quilt!

  • lisa

    I am sticking with my guess from a few posts back…christmas town/village/streat block maybe? Now you didn’t say we had to guess CORRECTLY did you? =) Thanks!

  • Ruth B

    I saw Jennifer’s pink machine yesterday but how cool that you both have a pink featherweight! Mine is just plain black but if I could paint it any color I would choose pink too. I’m guessing your BOM will be a vintage Christmas. Can’t wait to see it!

    I saw the pink featherweight on Shabby Fabric yesterday and thought of you….now why didn’t I know you had one???? By the way thanks for introducing me to Shabby Fabric’s site….

    Bought the new quilt mags and saw your pic in the Moda ad….cute idea!

    I had sympathy pangs for you last week….it was the week of the VET here….first one cat had an eye problem….off we went, next day cat #2 got a huge scratch on her back about the size of a quarter…called the VET…..next Dexter started not wanting to jump up or go upstairs….off the the VET…..he is now on 2 meds, bed rest and has to be carried up stairs and he thinks every where else…..SO you are no longer alone! ha ha ha

  • Danielle

    Well…. What about Christmas puppies? With lots of pink, of course! Love the featherweight, I have one and a pfaff. So glad to know that the feet might just fit! All this time, and I never knew, thanks!

  • Michele

    My first thought was, of course, Bunnies! Little Christmas bunnies (sort along the same line as Snowbound). Perhaps bunnies with the Twelve Days of Christmas theme throughout. If not, maybe Christmas Cats!

  • Pauline Francis

    Luv your pink featherweight! My wish list has a featherweight on it..hope to be an owner someday…….I might have to buy a black one and paint pink polka dots on it.

    I’m thinking your Christmas BOM might be embroidered and/or applique mice using shades of pink and grey fabrics. They say grey is big right now but I don’t have much in my stash.

    Sight unseen, your new BOM is on my wish list. Everything you design is fabulous.

    I really like reindeer also. Maybe that is the theme.

    Mama Spark gave me a few lessons on blogging so I can now officially say I am a blogger but really struggling. Hope this works and I’ve guessed right.

    hugs

  • Michelle Miller

    Well the theme for the quilt is obviously “christmas”, but if we are looking to be a bit more specific…. could it be a featherweight,sewing machine, or Christmas in PINK related theme?

    Enjoy your posts and all things PINK related!

  • Nancy C. in Utah

    OH…I really need to get a Featherweight, I already sew with a Pfaff so I would have the best of both worlds!!! I drool all ove my keyboard whenever you post pictures of yours, it is so delightful. Gotta find one in my price range first.
    Now, I’m thinking the theme of your new Christmas BOM would of course be Christmas but could this months block also include a darling little ‘sewing machine’? Perhaps even a little Singer Featherweight? OH…and maybe the overall theme for each block would be stitching of all types! Well, as you can see my imagination is running away with me so I’ll stop while I’m behind, LOL. Have a wonderful day Anne.

    I tried to post to Jennifer’s website yesterday but wasn’t able to. My favorite machine is my Featherweight that I call “Annie” after my babysitter who taught me to sew on her electrified Singer treadle. Thank you for the info on the Pfaff feet for Annie. I will check that out! I am obsessed with pink, too! Our 110 year old Queen Anne Victorian tower house is 5 shades of pink (as DH was painting it, the neighborhood kids would yell, “Hey, Ken, where is Barbie?”). Our old conversion van was raspberry and pink (now I drive a white Yukon). Just about everything I own is pink and people comment at work if I am NOT wearing something pink! Fortunately, DH is secure in his manhood! He has to be with four daughters and a son!! My guess is a Pink Parisian Christmas Bunnies theme?!!! I would be the first to order!!

    I love your blog and it is one that I try to read regularly. Thank you for the patterns, too. I love applique!

  • Vicky

    Pigs are pink – maybe a Christmas BOM with pink piggies! Oh, goodness, that is one heckava stretch! I can’t even imagine what that BOM would be titled — I’m Dreaming of a Oinky Christmas? Oh, wait, a pig with angel wings, flying, of course! Sorry. I get a bit giddy here just thinking about this year’s Christmas BOM!

  • Cherie

    I love the pink! Looks so fresh and inspiring. I’m guessing with the featherweight & 6 blocks you might be doing 6 geese a laying from the 12 days of christmas? Whatever it is I’m sure it will be beautiful!

  • Patricia Droste

    Hi Anne, Love the pink everything… I have finished Tiny Town, so I’m anxiously waiting for the new Christmas BOM to be announced. I’m thinking that is the theme…Christmas Blocks.

  • Robin Gold

    A pink featherweight — how fun!! Regarding your new Christmas block of the month, you’ve been working with kid fabric, so maybe the theme is Christmas toys? Whatever, I’m sure it will be wonderful!!

  • Janet

    Love the pink machine! You said the blocks are pieced, so it can’t be bunnies. lol I’m guessing trees–for a new guess. Thank you for the Snowbound BOM. I am enjoying it. Love your blog. You are always so upbeat.

  • Jackie Vanderhorst

    Hello Anne, Love your pink Featherweight. I’m green with envy! I think the next block will have something to do with England, maybe even the Cotswolds. Isn’t it the most beautiful area of England? Looking forward to the next freebie. I’m working on my Tisket TAsket blocks and I think I’m hooked on applique.

  • Beth

    Your pink featherweight is very cute! There is a shop down here in my neck of the woods called the Little Red 222 where they will custom paint your featherweight any color you want. Last time I was in there they had an apple red one, a bright green one, and a purple one. I really need to get mine out and use it more often.

  • Judy in MI

    I will guess Christmas houses – like houses on the block. Love all your pinkness! Thanks for the chance to win something wonderful.

  • Barbara

    The pink featherweight is so cute, I think it fits you to a “T”. I think the theme of your next quilt will be Christmas kittens. Thanks for all your creativity that I so enjoy. Now to only find the time to do all your quilts!

  • Sue

    First of all, how do you find so many wonderful items in pink? I am truly amazed as I never see anything in pink. I love the pink Featherweight.

    Hmmmm-next BOM theme-could it be little houses dressed up for Christmas?

  • Lisa in Lake Oswego

    Anne, thank you for being so generous & giving with your free designs. You are truly an angel. I have never guessed correctly yet, but here goes: my guess for theme is “Bakers Dozen”. I don’t know why, I just felt inspired. . . . “Blocks” seems too obvious, but then, maybe that’s the trick, to throw us off the track. . . . it must sure be fun to be read all the different answers!

  • Anne

    Hi Would it be snowballs? Or snowflakes? I love all your designs so much, and the way you share is just delightful Anne

  • Jackie

    Love, love, love the pink featherweight!!! You lucky dog you! I think your BOM has something to do with “The 12 Blocks of Christmas” . Maybe???

  • Sivje Parish

    Oh Anne, you know I am crazy about your pink featherweight and now you have found a twin! Oh my!

    My guess? Um, this is a long shot, but is your theme “blocks”?
    Happy Tuesday and I hope you have a wonderful Bunny day!
