Meet Alice & Louise

Alice

Born on May 4th, 1953 in Elizabethtown NJ, into the distinguished Singer family, weighing only 11lb 5oz. From the beginning she was fostered into being a member of the powerful and influential sewing clan, the “Featherweight 221’s’’, and was then adopted by my grandmother Roger Mae and raised in Raleigh, NC, where she enjoyed a normal home life, though at some point became closeted, and unable to find work for decades. she It was a dark period for Alice. Grandma passed away, and no-one knew what became of her, until one day a light went on in the closet and she was rescued from oblivion.

Louise

Alice’s best friend, who’s exact date of birth is a mystery except for a numbered tattoo on her belly, but we know it was somewhere between 1950 and 51. She immigrated with her parents to the US Kaiserslautern, Germany in the mid sixties and quickly fell into the counter culture scene in the US and bounced around, sometimes taking odd jobs repairing sails, doing custom embroidery work, mending work wear for farmers, and eventually took a steady job at a small clothing manufacturer in Ashfield, NC where she met Alice at a revolutionaries quilting convention.

She’s heavy duty, we won’t talk about her wieght, but she can eat through a dozen layers of demin in no time. As for speed, she has a retro-fitted motor which dashes at 12,000 RPM…completely unnecessary but if you get her motor running watch out. She switches with a mean zig zag as she walks. A real piece of work.
