Of those, which would you recommend if someone could only attend one (and add NH to the mix if you know anything about it)?

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.
