The last retreat I was at with no electricity was a hurricane. Call me Quilt Diva. No electricity sounds like the opposite of heaven to me. A day with a treadle sounds like fun, but only with the lights ON!! Signing off, "Quilt Diva"

Think of it as a sewing machine swap meet with project classes and a potluck dinner thrown in....

Thank you ThayerRags, I hadn't thought of TreadleOn as the beginning. What could be wrong in that idea?
Sounds like lots of fun to me. Guess I'll have to keep my eyes open for it and drag my DH along. For all the tractor swap meets, and old classic car swap meets I've been to, it's his turn to be the puppy following along with me.
