My...Drool, drool over all those beautiful machines.<br />My everyday machine is a Jones Family CS ( very similar to the first photo) mounted on a treadle and I just adore it. It belonged to my grandmother and was bought in 1932. I have fancier electric machines but they don't get used often.<br />My treadle will quilt all straight line quilting with no problems or difficulties. I've done at least a dozen Streak of Sunshine quilts for family and friends<br />Keep up the good work and this really enjoyable blog.<br />Helen in FranceHelenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043645352302036774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-24684722682222941512014-04-05T14:13:55.248-04:002014-04-05T14:13:55.248-04:00wow the motherload

I believe around our area, folks keep the machines either to use or to be in the families. See none of these machine shown, ever, here!<br /><br />I remember at Williamsburg the man who portrays Thomas Jefferson. IF you are able to see him (he walks around town etc), make sure to go. The likeness, manners of the colonial times etc are amazing!!!! One boy about 10 yr old told him, BUT YOU ARE DEAD!!!! Portrayer answered " I beg your pardon, I am very much alive as you may see". This kid was dazed....too funny.<br /><br />Smiles, JulieinTNAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10622397925157647174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-30959286471036686312014-04-04T22:42:22.392-04:002014-04-04T22:42:22.392-04:00Thanks for sharing your tour!
