I never used a coleman fuel lantern before

It was kind of nerve wracking pressure testing it for the first time. There was a small leak. Tore it down, tested it again and shot fuel all over my desk :thumbdown: I amazed that it worked the first time I tried to light it! :worship:

Hummm.... I think my husband dragged home a old round coleman heater home last summer. I wonder where it is?

Da Quilt

Thank's. The quilt top has quite a story to tell. The top was made in the 30's by my GG Grandmother Erma. She died in the 1960's before I was Born. Was in the attic of my G Aunt's house during a garage fire in the 1970's. In the 1990's it was given to me and I hand quilted it and finished it in 2005.

Darn I can't slide anything past you guys. :roll: I set my camera date to the wrong year by accident. But is still sat for a year before I got the courage to re-build it. This is my first liquid fuel appliance.
