Puzzle Description:

Sow and Sew. That's not just any so-and-so. That's Johnny Appleseed. And that's my old Singer sewing machine. Got it back in 1968 and it still works!

Very nice puzzle. I finished the right panel first and didn't see until I was almost done with it what it was...excellent rendition of the machine! The left panel was really tricky towards the end, and I had to rely on the color spacing to help solve it.

(My first comment on a puzzle; I've only lurked until now.)

Ditto #1. There are still a lot of "lurkers" that need to come out of the closet, so to speak. :-) Just follow Liz's example!

Thanks, Liz and Adam.

Liz, your comments are very welcome here. I hope you make more. And now that you've made yourself known, you will have to tell us more about yourself (Forum Topic #1) and where you live (Forum Topic #24) and tell us your Myers-Briggs personality type (Forum Topic #183). That last one is my idea, and I love finding out how many Introverted Intuitives we have here. :-)

Loved the right part of this puzzle - I can see from here my grandmother's Singer - circa 1925 - an electric motor added and it still works!

My grandmother had one of those old treadle machines. She made lots of tiny doll clothes for my little dolls.

after finishing the right part I thought it was going to be singer and Singer. :) silly me.
great job...especially on the machine!

Thanks.

How about suit and soot.

My college costume shop (I was a theater major) had sewing machines just like that. And when I was a kid, I learned the "Johnny Appleseed Grace" at YMCA camp:

Oh, the Lord is good to me
And so I thank the Lord
For giving me
The things I need
The sun, and the rain, and the apple seed
The Lord is good to me

It's sung but I don't have a way to type the melody here. And of course, it's stuck in my head now. Thanks for the memories Teresa!

Thanks for the story, Sallie. Here's the song, for those who might want to listen:

Here's a cute little girl singing it:

When my daughter was in daycare many, many years ago, they sang the "Earth" is good to me. Her version always ended with "Now you may eat" as if it was part of the song.

Another fun puzzle!

Thanks, Babarann.

I thought after I got the machine that it was going to be Singer & singer.... But that isn't a homophone, but it didn't stop me from thinking that until I got the person on the left! Great puzzle!

very fun. love the images. reminds me of my mom's old singer with the treadle. i used to love that sound!

Quite, quite fun. Love the images, especially the one on the right. Both were extremely easy to understand. The image on the left is truly excellent.

Thanks, Velma.
