Now, I need to pick out a few more fabrics for my son's quilt and it will be started.

Guess I should learn the whole bobbin thing, but I am so excited that she is up and running.

I guess she needs an official name... I think she will be Helen, after my grandmother. Gram taught me to crochet a million years ago... remember the oreo cooking crochet magnets. Thanks Gram!!
Congrats... treadling is so much fun! I love sewing on my 66 treadle. There's something so peaceful about treadling. And your sewing day isn't dependant on the electricity! I also love that the machine can go anywhere, not needing to be next to a wall with a plug-in! You can treadle in the center of a big room.

Enjoy!
