Welcome from Colorado. You will find that you have lot in common with a lot of us. Check out the Vintage and Antique Sewing Machine section if you haven't already. We love to tinker with older machines. I also have three treadle machines (one of them I have treadling), and a featherweight.

Do you ever go to Peddler's Way in Washington?

Hi from Ohio!

KNLSMITH

Yes I do go to Peddlers Way
. Have occassionally taken a class there. It is a good store and close to home, especially since Cozy closed. Although my favorite store is Piece and Applique in Rochester near Springfield. I am in love with Batiks and they have a great selection. Wide backs go to Ma's Got a Notion in Havanna. They have a great selection. Also had Sue (Ma's) quilt a wall hanging for me....won a "honorable mention in local quilt show. (still my favorite quilt.) I'd post a picture if I knew how but have never learned much about the computer. Even with two quilt stores (Cozy Corner and Cotton Stitches) closing we still have a great choice of quilt stores to go to in our area.
