Last time I wrote about my treadle (click here), I had brought her out of hiding/storage hoping that I would get more treadle time in.
And it worked!
I have been more tempted to sit down at the machine and do some treadling than I was before.
Did you happen to notice my scrappy mug mat which was a lovely gift from Julie?? I adore it...thank you so much!

after seeing your treadle recently I went on a search and found lots for sale, I thought they would be pricey but no they were not. Anyway I resisted as I have no room for one and already have 3 sewing machines, an embellishing machine and an overlocker enough is enough I say!
I can't wait to see your finished quilt! What an ingenious use of old adding machine tape. (And as a retired accountant, I do remember those yellow carbon copy tapes.) What a lovely little mug mat from Julie!
Yahoo! It got there...so glad for that. I love your ticker tape parade! That is what I think of when I see your beautiful treadle scrappy quilting!
I am doing the same thing! I use kabinet wax paper that I have cut in half. After sewing the strips on I trim it down to 4.5 x 10 inches. I have about 150 blocks made already. I am trying to get my strips basket to a lower level.
what a nice old sewing machine - I often wonder what happened to my grandmother's machine that looked like that.
Lovely place to treadle away! Really sweet mug mat too :)
The mug mat is delightful!
It will be fun to see how large this quilt becomes--in other words, how it all "adds up." (Couldn't resist that one. ) : )
Hi Kathy,
I purchased a treadle last year in September and haven't had time to learn yet. When I first got it, I watched a lot of YouTube videos. I'm hoping I get a few days in the Summer to try the technique. Making string units will be great too.
Such fun!!! I've been threatening to move one of my machines downstairs so I can stitch while waiting for a pot to boil or bread to rise - well if I cooked, that would be the plan anyway LOL!!!
I have several rolls of old adding machine tape that I've collected at thrift stores, but, I still haven't pulled it out and stitched on it yet.
What a great way to recycle both fabric and the tape.
