That is a beautiful machine. Thanks for sharing the pictures. I love the roses on it. The coffin cover is awesome as well. These remind me of my great grandmother. I sat on her lap and helped her quilt two quilts when I was 4 to 6 or something like that. When she passed away the last two quilts were not quite finished. My mom took them to the ladies quild and had them hand quilted them and when I got married when I was 24 she gave me both of them. I am 54 now and I love them just a much as I did when I help make them.

Here is a fun link, I love this lady. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6floSCAD_lg
Here are some pics of Shasta my treadle, I keep her bonnet covered because I have her placed in front of a very hot sunny west facing window:
