TreadleOn
A TreadleOn web site refresh and update started in 2021. The site front page and some of the navigation links have a new look and slightly different organisation. In September 2021, personal details were removed from the Meet a Fellow Onion page.
The site was built, managed, and tickled into shape by Richard Wightman, who was and is a power to be reckoned with.. Many pages are written in the First Person, and he is that person.
Treadle On was originally formatted as a computer game that took place in a mythical island land called "Treadleonia". Olde Treadleonia is no longer a part of the site, but you will occasionally encounter references to some of the creatures, customs and history of that land and time. They should be taken with a willingness to accept whimsy as reality. Those who find such a concept odd or bizarre are invited to seek for truth and the meaning of life elsewhere.
The site contains some historical references, all of which are only the best information available at the time of posting or simply what was provided by someone in response to a question. For accurate historical data, do your own research.
Our mailing list started as a Lyris email list, was relocated to Yahoo! Groups in 2014, and moved again to Groups.io in 2018. The administrators are Helen Howes and Mea Clift.
As of 2014, the List and site were looked after by a team headed by Cindy
Peters. Sadly, Cindy left us for that great sewing-machine-shop in the sky in 2019,
but the site is secure, and the email list likewise, and we will carry on, if
not regardless, then at least with a degree of abandon!

TreadleOn also includes some quilting information as it relates to various user activities we sponsor.
