My sister picked up this fabulous vintage sewing machine at a thrift store. She knew I'd been searching for a pink machine for awhile and this fit the bill. It's a vintage Singer Merritt in a dark pink and cream color scheme.
It sews really well, smooth and quiet. There are decorative stitches but I don't have the cams. They're available on ebay and I'll pick some up in the future.
Till then she'll be in charge of straight stitching in a secondary therad color. When I'm working on lots of projects I'll set up my machines in different colored threads, that way I don't have to stop and change out the thread and bobbin. It means that my "collection" is actually used and just not sitting around looking pretty.
Do you have an idea of what to name her? Leave your entry in the comment field. I'm going to have my sister choose the name because she's the one who rescued her from possibly ending up in the dump.
I'll announce the winner at next Monday's staff meeting. The prize will be a goody bag of things from workroom. Good luck!.

I'm going to state the obvious: Candy.:)

I think you should name her: Peggy Lee, she was a Singer,too. And I always think of pink when I hear her name.
No one said it had to be a good reason!
Here's another obvious one — Rose. She is a beauty. A very good idea with the different color threads. I wish that I had room to line up a few machines.
I like Laverne!
I thought of Rosie as in "Rosie the Riveter" an image of a hard working woman.
I like Candy, but also think sugar would be a good name.
I like Rescue, or Cupcake! She is Delicious - that could be a good name - or Dessert. No calories.

How about Second Hand Rose from the song of the same name from the movie "Funny Girl"?
i would go with
Barbiecakes...

I like Lucy.
Cupcake.
Pinky Tuscadaro
How about "Juliette"?
People with this name tend to be creative and excellent at expressing themselves. They are drawn to the arts, and often enjoy life immensely. I know we're talking about a sewing machine but it seems fitting to me! :)
Well, this is what happens when you don't check the blog until late in the day. The contest has opened and lots of great names ahead of you. My first thought was Rosie. I'm obvious like that, but I do usually have a longer name to go with the nickname, which for this machine is Rosalinda. I like that name and have come across it several times this week. Love the idea of threading several machines in different colors!
I think Rosie is perfect too. It is catchy, short and sweet. I don't need to win anything...I just think that is the best name.
How about Mary Sue? Here in Maryland there is a great candy company by that name that has the best chocolate Easter eggs.I'm glad she has found a good home with you. Abandoned sewing machines are so sad. I wish I had more time to use mine and I like the idea of different thread colors on the machines - very clever.
Hey Suzanne, Love that pink machine. Our friend, Lila, of www.indigopears.blogspot (met her as my teacher in a quilting class over 30 years ago), loves aqua machines. She featured one recently on her blog. She tells me that Singer stopped making machines with metal gears around 1965--so I am on the lookout for a pre-1965 Singer now!
They name Lucy jumped out at me!
Watch your mail for a little surprise!
The few names that jumped out at me were ...
Poppy
Stella
Dottie

Maybe you have a new site !!!! Maybe trying to make Mary toys drinking problems and your rotten vag and a fuxkibg bat shit crazy drug dealers wife who gives not and write prescriptions for crazy meds so his wife looks like she did a good job on all the projects I worked on.... cause we couldn’t figure out why we let somone sit on her ass for 6 years to make a great come back cause we’ll someone sitting on their fat ass and who can’t do simple math skills like 45,000 doesn’t equal $100 an hour at 90+ hours a week and apparently osha doesn’t see a problem with that all so some fuxkibg piece of fuxkibg child porn rapiest can drug and rape their conworker cause she was pissed she wasn’t skinny any more what sort of weird shit did all of you do while I was away make sure someone else gets trained or “trained” the past 3 years well my rapiest gets to pick up all of my projects for his underage wife who can’t work for a firm that isn’t public???
Dear Suzy why are you cooking??? Is it cooking to rape and drug people cause you can’t get your fucking ass up and go to the dentist in which your husband has insurance or you are trying to play another game to fund some fuxkibg stupid trash vollyball coach and his hero on addict daughter... oh did it get some of you so fucking pissed off that some people go to work and you and your rapiest friends didn’t have enough child porn to watch so you had to drug someone to bascailly mansualter to make your fat lazy ass not feel so bad about herself!!!! Your husband has insurance I bet you kept up with a lot of people that your daughter knew cause your are a fuxkibg piece of fucking low iq shit.... I bet one of the hits you hired hand is getting shaky as I sit outside today!!! Maybe cause some like yourself and some stupid piece of fuxkibg shit housewive thinks that peoplenliterally fuck at their desksss most likely cause you might have done something like that cause apparently simple math as in $100 an hour doesn’t equal 45,000......maybe you and Andrea like to order shit that someone purchases and get posed off cause that’s what you got after you let your daughter get raped and drugged so you can get shit like cloths and shit.... i Bet you have lots of relationships with people I don’t know about and then I get drugged and raped so your and Paul can take vacations
