I just love the dogwoods on it. My favorite tree! I hope that someday I'll be able to come to the Inn for a retreat! I would love to visit!LilVyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06854282670615317675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-70681652873233871442018-05-25T20:14:27.917-04:002018-05-25T20:14:27.917-04:00Such a beautiful machine to go in a beautiful home...Such a beautiful machine to go in a beautiful home!

I think it will be a wonderful destination for someone like me who is self-taught and needs to learn so much from you and other quilters. Hope you include information when you are ready about how one travels from out of state ( I am in Chicago) to your location. For example, since I am not driving now, will you be considering some kind of shuttle service (for a fee) from nearest airport to the inn? Just something to think about.

Many people have things that are needed bedside and a stand of some kind is greatly appreciated. If there isn't room for one, maybe you could invest in some inexpensive fold-up camping tables that could be used by those who need a one. I have one (would be happy to send a photo if you would like) that I take whenever I go on retreat and don't know if there will be a bedside table available. Just a thought.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09362343498979575666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-7115309427393951732018-05-25T11:22:31.336-04:002018-05-25T11:22:31.336-04:00Just a thought to consider about removing the mirr...Just a thought to consider about removing the mirrors: I have multiple cabinets for storing china keepsakes. Only one with mirrors. They are hard to keep clean from dust seepage but but rarely does any ask to open the cabinet to see the backs of the pieces, because they show up in the mirrors (even dirty). That doesn't happen with the dark wooden ones. The mirrored one has a lock the others do not. Loved the new bedsteads.<br />anniebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04882433822989523261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-41465748138680410572018-05-25T09:54:28.547-04:002018-05-25T09:54:28.547-04:00Hang in there with all the "to do's"...Hang in there with all the "to do's" calling your name!

I have never been blessed to have a vintage treadle machine. My mother's Singer was electric. I sewed on it for many years. Never gave me any problem. They are grand old ladies. What a blessing to receive her as a tribute to Quiltville Inn!Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08183663818036548755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-78379958755470016272018-05-25T03:32:06.930-04:002018-05-25T03:32:06.930-04:00That's one beautiful machine - those flowers a...That's one beautiful machine - those flowers are so perfect!

Hate to bring this up but **I hope you have electric sockets by each bed or bedstand.

Before you remove the mirrors in the back of the curio cabinet, notice how pretty it is when the mirror reflects back the objects on the shelf.

It is so heartwarming to hear about it all. You really do bring out the best in people. I have enjoyed following your blog since discovering you way back in 2008...we were able to bring you here to Kenora, Ontario to teach when it was still an option.
