Wow Sandy is looking good. *grin*
It gives me confidence that i could probably resurrect my grandma's treadle machine. I haven't looked at it in forever, since i was a kid. From the family gossip it was in a house whose basement that flooded multiple times. *shakes fists at cousins* I have to procure the poor machine from them, I'm shuddering at the thought of how the wood on the cabinet looks. This weekend i'm making the 8 hour drive down to 'visit' for a family reunion *coughmachinerescuecough*.
I'm hoping that maybe by Christmas it would be up and running. So i can give it to mom, she's an avid quilter and often times will tell me that her mom would sew her dresses on it while growing up.
Now.. how does one restore paint. what kind of paints: canned spray paint, air brush. *grin*
