    Any plans to attend the new one in Texas this year?
    I want to go to that one, methinks its a bit far to drive, about 5 hours one way from Round Rock.

    Nonsense! I would drive much further than that to have half as much fun.
    The trip to the quilt retreat this weekend wound up being about 8 hours due to the snow. Yes, I would do it again if I had the chance.

    Glenn, I like your idea of the shaving mugs with the embriodered towels. Your work is very nice. I like how you take the mug image to use as a pattern for you towel.

    Billy, Glenn, and all the other gentlemen that posted their work, Your quilts are beautiful!

    By the way I have about 200 shaving mugs in my collection along with hundreds of shaving stuff. I do not think I will be able to make shaving towels for all of them :lol: Glenn

    Wow, Miz Johnny you do have some beautiful machines! Did you really find that snake skin head in a treadle? That would freak me out!

    Your National before and after pictures are really amazing!

    Nancy,
    I think the New Home VS is the noisiest treadle machine I've ever sewn with. The others are all Singers, 201k,15-90
    and 237. The White VS III isn't functional yet..it needs lots of TLC.
