TOGA in Florida






I've just returned home from enjoying the Florida TOGA (TreadleOn Gathering and Academy). It was a short 2.5 days of rubbing elbows with other folks that are addicted to people powered sewing machines (all though were a few stray electric vintage machines). What could be better than a large room full of treadles and hand cranks, all singing their own purring songs. We sewed, practiced free motion quilting, learned about taking apart a tension assembly and did a block exchange.

Here are some photos of the TOGA. In the next posting I'll show you the block exchange entries.
