Default Article about Canadian sewing machine collector

The couple believe it is the largest collection in Canada! http://www.guelphmercury.com/living-...ada-s-largest/

The museum is open to the public by appointment.



Anybody want to organize a field trip to visit them?

I'd love to go and see that. Too bad I'm on the other side of the world!

I'm so glad that you posted this. I only live an hour and a few minutes away from this and I have never heard of it before. I think it would make a great stop on one of our guild road trips.

Your welcome. Glad it was of help to you Shelbie. Please do post pictures if you do go. I was a bit disappointed that they didn't include more photos in the article.

Would love to see the machines, but, also would like to meet the owners. They appear to be great humanitarians as well as collectors.
