Follow up with Howard's Orange Oil Feed N Wax (include the iron work) and the room will smell devine and Gae's cabinet will shine...Suzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14217500175274717796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-33003554627900860892012-10-04T01:35:10.735-04:002012-10-04T01:35:10.735-04:00I just love seeing that long chain draping off the...I just love seeing that long chain draping off the back of the machine. :)janequiltsslowlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14079952744650435885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-34713856071622213372012-10-03T19:03:35.556-04:002012-10-03T19:03:35.556-04:00Hi Bonnie, Love the machine with a tail!!

I have my Grandpa's Wertheim treadle.he died in 1964 and it sat in his shed for 40 odd years after untouched because of an eccentric aunt. He was a sailmaker and the contents of the drawers are untouched since he last sewed. it is fairly decrepit but things still move. You have inspired me to find someone to fix it so I can use it. it will be a connection to grandpa who I loved very much(he died when I was 7). I love the 9 patches!I am making Tumulo Trails ATM in Civil war fabrics plus a few others.it's looking lovely so far! I did have this ambition to make ALL your patterns to use up my LARGE stash so I can buy more fabric, but it might take me a while:)Do you find treadling helps with your pain?<br />Love Sandrasandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04208231913623029597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-67110481070618574862012-10-03T18:44:47.070-04:002012-10-03T18:44:47.070-04:00I must try my treadle, have had it 2years and not ...I must try my treadle, have had it 2years and not used it. Bonnie do you have a spa/hot tub they can be so relaxing after a long drive....an old remedy is using Radox or old fashioned washing soda even in an ordinary bath.

I am making an irish chain quilt and have a ton of 2.5 inch pieces to cut. This seems like it would make life easier! Can you show a picture of the foam with the lines??<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09096929098493596507noreply@blogger.com
