Miriam will need a bus to load her sewing machines!

And Joe?

And Shirley Girley?

Oh, this would be so fun and funny!!!

I would need a semi or have it at my place... tent camping in the back yard... Glenn's place would be another good spot... His all look really good. Mine mostly work.

Doesn't it start as one man's dream and another man's venture?

Maybe we could go from one place to another - sort of a progressive show... rent a tour bus...

That might be easier - especially for those that have a gazillion machines.

Have shop hops between sewing machine viewings.

It could be set up as a tour with overnight stays at various lodgings.

It could start as a regional thing.

This could be so wonderful!! I would love to see everyone's machines up close and personal!!

tri-flow should sponsor it, we all use enough of it. :)

so why don't you start one? make it local or regional to begin with...just a day event with local vendors invited to bring their wares....I'm too far away, but would be happy to help with the organization = I've organized a couple of national conferences for a group I'm in. You might also contact the organizers of some of the quilt shows (like Mancuso's) and ask them to include the group on their agenda if you do the planning....

Why not expand the quilt shows for those very reasons? They're always selling machines (LAs) and embroidery machines so why not? I've seen woven baskets sold at quilt shows. So why not everything from the cloth and hand needle on up? They have classes at quilt shows so why not care and maintenance classes with a little history to go with it.

I would be available to do that around here.

i love this idea... Count The Victorian Sweatshop in!
