Treadle at my mom's house!
 
On Thursday I am heading over to my mom's house to look at the treadle machine that belonged to her mom and sisters when they were little girls. I had totally forgotten she had it so I am excited to take a look at it. She said I can have it, so I am going to fix "her" up and find a special spot in my sewing room for her.

I know the cabinet will need to be finished, I hope the machine is ok!

I'll post some photos so all you experts can help me fix and take care of her.

how wonderful a treasure that will be. wish I had my Mom's treadle machine, just because it was hers. I learned to sew on it also.

I love the idea of a note in the drawer.... wish someone had done that for my grandmother's machine.

Jeanne..... congrats. Do show us a picture.
