I catch a little grief about the sewing machine collecting myself. When they get too rowdy, I just tell my kids, who do not sew, that I am just adding to the estate sale that they can have when I am on the other side. I also threaten to come back and haunt them if they don't keep my grandma's treadle in the family!! LOL

I know what will happen if I keel over before I pare down the number of machines I have: They will all go to the auction up the street, Goodwill, or the curb, depending on the mood my husband or kids are in. Knowing my kids, they'll just sell the house and contents. (They use a different word than "contents"; I'll bet you all know what it is.
We know, Mz Johnny, all of our children say it. That's why I told mine to 'just sell it,' don't try to hang on to it.
