If there’s a pink one I’ll find it!

August 2, 2010 / 110 Comments

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

    I am guessing pointsettias. I love to decorate with soft pink pointsettias at christmas time and I am sure that you do also. I see you sneaking in cute bunnies and puppies in there somewhere too.

    Maybe those pieced blocks are flying geese? Six geese a laying? I’m still guessing birds in there somewhere….do geese count as birds? Am I getting close? Can you tell I really, really want to be in this drawing?

    OK so I am guessing you wanted a more specific guess than just Christmas? LOL! OK I am changing my guess to a winter Christmas village with pieced houses and snowflakes! Although it could be just snowflakes, that would be pretty cool too! Actually knowing the designs you come up with whatever it is it will be very cool!

    Just love your pink Featherweight! And now you know it has a twin. How cute is that!! Your theme – Hmmmm. Obviously it’s Christmas and there will be 6 pieced blocks and maybe 6 appliqued blocks. Maybe something to do with Paris since you were just there. Will there be some pink bunnies in it too?

    wow! there are so many ideas going through my head —
    Christmas Icing
    Blue Ices
    Chill For Christmas (like in taking a ‘chill pill’ and relaxing
    The Nutcracker Gems
    Pink Polka Dot Snowballs

    ugh! maybe i’m cheating by guessing so much! but it was fun!

    I’m guessing a Christmas theme with a pink over tone and blocks thrown in for good measure. I just love your pink featherweight. One day I was on the freeway and a woman in pink leather passed me on her pink Harley motorcycle and I instantly thought of you. I’m sorry I didn’t get a photo.

    Gosh, this is really a simple answer to the theme question but the first thing that popped into my head….It’s a “Christmas” theme!!

    Love your blog!

    Hmmm, I’m going to guess CHRISTMAS, and maybe PINK too. Let’s call it “I’m dreaming of a PINK Christmas!” shall we…?! Sing it Bing. ; )

    Your pink FW is a cutie for sure. Mine is the traditional black. Her name is Agatha, and I LOVE her! Thanks for the tip about Pfaff feet!

    Machine quilt on a Featherweight?!! Oh, the things you learn reading the comments on Anne’s Pink Blog!
    As for the new theme, I personally would love to see KITTIES depicted in all sorts of ways: Santa hats, playing with yarn ball ornaments, making friends with a little birdie, snoozing under a Christmas tree, trying on some tie-on bunny ears to match her best friend’s (who’s a real bunny!). . .

    Whatever you come up with, I know we’ll all LOVE it!!

    Cute pink sewing machine! My guess for the theme is toys–vintage toys, perhaps? Can’t wait to see what it will be….

    Although I may not be clever enough to think of any theme beyond Christmas or snowballs for your new BOM, you’ve got me dreaming of a pink Christmas. I must admit that blue is truly my favorite color. I’ve even got Elvis to back me up with “Blue Christmas.”

    My guess is a Christmas village. Maybe with a little critter or two. Fun to guess, but know it will be fantastic whatever it is!!

    I love your pink Featherweight! I have a black one and I love it! I am thinking that the new block of the month theme would be pink bunnies and words embroidered, like Peace on Earth? Or bunnies hopping around Pink Christmas Houses?

    Whatever you do, I love-love-love your free BOM! You are so generous! Thank you from the bottom of my pink heart!

    I was given my step-grandmother’s mother’s featherweight (did that make sense?) — with payment coupon book and all. I also have Pfaffs. Thanks for the tip!

    I’m guessing, “In the Pink.” My grandmother had pink felt and sequined Christmas decorations that went on a flocked tree in her turquoise and white – decorated home.

    I love featherweights also. I have 3 of them – no pink ones though – they are all white. My guess is the theme for your new Christmas quilt has the word “Peace” in it due to your hint piecing – perhaps “Peace on Earth”.

    Love your blog and your patterns. I am guessing “Little Bity Christmas” animals celebrating Christmas with pink/green/blue fabrics!!

    I loved reading all the guesses, I would love a angel BOM or birds but I think you are working on 12 days of Christmas blocks.

    love your website and blog – thank you for sharing your creativity and talents with us! I am partway through the Snowbound blocks and am very curious what you have in mind for next year. Someone suggested scotty dogs with the twelve days of Christmas – heaven! if that isn’t what you are doing, might you consider it? Would love to see occasional construction tips from you. I haven’t appliqued in a while and am struggling to regain my skills. My points and inside corners leave much to be desired :)

    Oh Anne – I love PINK TOO! I have a featherweight but it’s not PINK! Wish it was. Well I think you are doing the 12 blocks of Christmas – which maybe will be a PINK Christmas!

    You mean you want something more specific than Christmas?? Let me see …..baskets, snowment, …….. maybe santa’s??? At any rate – it will be a winner as all the others have been!!!

    I know, I know, I haven’t thought about anything other than your new Christmas theme since your last tad-little-hint-blogs I think your theme is “Christmas Baby”, with a “christmas kitty” added in somewhere :)
    I totally enjoy you & your blogs, love your pink featherweight , your patterns and fabrics (Moda is blessed to have YOU designing for them) and all your family, friends and other hobbies you share.

    I hope your block of the month theme will be Christmas ornaments. How cute that will be! I love your pink featherweight!! Mine is the light green color. Your blog is so inspiring. Hugs, Jane
