Shut Up and Quilt

I like Leah Day's title for her Quilt Along Wednesday series, Shut Up and Quilt, so much that I have decided to follow along. I need to improve my treadling and free motion quilting technique. So, what better way! My first Wednesday was spent rearranging the "command center", and dusting and vacuuming up dust bunnies in that area. My Singer 15-90 treadle had to be cleared of cutting mats and other paraphernalia; it had become the storage table. The Free No.5 treadle, in garage that needs treadle repair, was brought into the house to hold all the sewing notions and cutting mats. The Singer 15-90 treadle was moved to the front of the "command center" for easy access. I now have six treadles in a space of approximately 7 feet by 7 feet. I'm ready to treadle!

  1. Yeah! Creative with how many treadles I can squeeze into a small space and still be able to use all of them. I can't say it's due to boredom.

  3. Gwen, If I had a basement, I would be in serious trouble. I find myself from time to time mentally decorating a future basement with vintage items that I spot on CLs: tables with treadle irons, sofas, quilt holders, and lots of vintage machines.

  4. Impressive set up. I do have a basement, but the sewing machines are escaping from there and mustering their forces to take over the rest of the house!
