DH and I are off to West Haven Ct. this weekend to pick up.... A REDEYE 66 TREADLE !!! Won the bid on ebay for $57.00, of course I mentioned to DH that after the trip, she cost more like $257.00... He says no Toots, the trip is a mini vacation. So, any recommendations for quilt shop stops along the way? We are coming from NY.

congrats. and what a dear hubby is.

Congrats, Sadly Our shop is in the wrong direction!

In CT, The Quilt Shop is not far off I84, so it wouldn't be a huge detour. http://thequiltshoponline.com/directions.html


This is off your route a bit so I don't know if you'd have the time and want to bother:

The shop is insane. INSANE. Call first to check hours.

Have a fun and safe trip.

If you're on I84, there's the Quilt Basket in Wappingers Falls, NY.

Have a great "mini vacation" and can't wait to see your new machine :D:D:D

Thanks everyone, I see a couple of stops on our way! DH doesn't mind meandering, he drives truck. lol

Congratulations and have fun!

Finally I found you on here!! I joined as soon as you left my house. It was so nice to meet you and your husband. I hope you had a safe trip home. Did you find the quilt shop I mentioned? Thanks again!

You made it! We decided to head straight on home and made it by 11pm. Sunday being Fathers Day, all the kids came home and set up Davids new wood shop. Family BBQ and lots of oohs and aahs over the new Red eye girl. You and your husband were both so kind! Did you find the model number on your grams machine? Maybe a 28 or a 128?
Tulip

Oh good. Im so glad you had a safe trip. Can't wait to see pics of your new addition! No, I haven't had a chance to look up the model number of gram's machine. I will and I will post it with a pic.

That would be great. There is a new picture thread for the vintage machines. It will be a great data base.
