how Wonderful that he Considered mentioning it to you. I'm excited for you! There might be all sorts of vintage quilty treasures stashed about... I have my grandma's treadle. Last time I remember her using it I was around 10 or 11. I've had it in my living room since 1975. I've never even Considered using it until I joined this board. Come the new year, I'll be figuring it all out. Have Fun!
