Thanks to your group for doing this. I believe you could take that show on the road by offering it through quilt guilds around the country, or at least they could be inspired by what you did to do something similar on their own. I'm reminded of the "instrument petting zoo" that some orchestra's offer as part of their young people's concerts. I have to be sure to show my 66 hand crank to my grandson. He sort of avoids the more modern machines when I've offered to let him try something (too girly), but just the look of an antique machine might put a different spin on the experience. Also, a crank might be less intimidating. It wouldn't look as if it could run amok on its own.

"
