Now there is dedication! What model is your treadle, Stitchit123?

I have my great grandmother's oil lamp, and it throws light bright enough to read or sew without electricity. My more modern propane Coleman camp lantern does the same. Plus that, I've seen LED lights that work on solar power, so we COULD keep sewing with the power out for an extended time. Of course, if there is less heat, we need more quilts, right? See who is laughing then.
