When she was about nine years old, my wife learned how to sew on her grandmother’s treadle sewing machine, a Singer built in 1914 in Elizabeth, New Jersey. Pearly worked the treadle while Pam sewed until eventually at the age of eleven or so, Pam was able to work the treadle by herself. Pam has sewed and quilted ever since then and has just this year started her own small business, Wildrose Patchwork. These photos submitted for your consideration were all taken of that classic machine.
