The last few hand embroidered projects I've done I've cut the blocks oversize, drawn the pattern onto the fabric and then quilted each block to a square of cotton batting. After all of that it was...

Pink quilts can be a lot of fun. I've made at least three over the years. The one I like best was made with one line of fabric - fabric selection is done for you - in a simple 9 patch alternating...

I'm using an MacBook Pro laptop. The link leads to a blank page. Using Safari, if that helps

Looking beyond a new sewing machine. You mentioned she has a lot of fabric. Does she have a wonderful method of storing her fabric? The best gift I gave myself was hiring a company to come in and...

Right now I am rereading the Jana deLeon, Miss Fortune series. Lots of fun in the Louisiana bayou country.
Louise Penny writes an excellent mystery series set in a small Canadian town.
An adult...

I have a Bernina domestic sewing machine with a SR and I've not looked back. I will only piece my quilts on a Pfaff with the dual feed and I only quilt on the Bernina with the SR. I know what works...

Good Morning, May I add the Roxanne thimble to the list here. I was never able to us a standard thimble though Mother tried to teach me to use one. After using the Roxanne thimble for about 5 minutes...

My old Pfaff had dual power settings. One for USA and the other for European (not sure of the terminology). Have you checked. Does the new machine have these settings and is your machine set...

A few years back my sister and I stopped in Cottage Grove for the night. They were having some sort of festival at the time. Part of the "things to see and do" was a quilt show being held in one of...

Oh, yes! Carry on! You can have so much fun with different kitty facial expressions. Love the paw print!

I thought I would prefer a blue binding until I saw the black. I love it! Excellent choice, IMHO! I say, "Go for it!"

You might want to check fat quarter shop again. I just signed up to be notified when they get the kits - early August.

Your quilt is wonderful! I love your color and fabric choices. I also have that book. I'm really motivated to get started on a Farm Girl quilt now! ��

576998My sister found some charm packs of fossil fern fabrics (we both love fossil fern!) and suggested just putting the charms together at random. So, we both have two charm packs that we're...

Good Morning, I have purchased a 'book/iPad' holder like the one you...

This is an awesome quilt! I am absolutely blown away! Love your color choices!!! The design is very intriguing, I just keep looking and looking. Can you tell I like it!?!! a lot!

Good Morning,
Wendiq, Your comment brought a smile this morning. Favorite line, "bet I won't do that again!" and it is so true.

What's so funny is my sister wanted to know if I'd finally switch...

Thank you so much for the encouragement and more information. This will not be a wall quilt. As with all of my quilts this one is growing by leaps and bounds! The photo has it displayed on a double...

Thank you so much for your suggestions. I'll just go ahead as I have been! Act like I know what i'm doing when it is obviously very questionable!
The question now is polyester batting as Jeanne S....

SO, the photo posted! Yay for me! But it's upside down! Why? How does one turn it over? Like I said, It's been a long time since I've posted here!

Good Afternoon,
I'm looking for some advice and figured this board is a very large resource for information! I have been working on a quilt for my grandson and it finally dawned on me (now that I've...

Glad to hear you're on the road to recovery! Excellent! You'll have lots of energy to enjoy your new space when it's finished!
P. S. Thank you so much for sharing your symptoms with us here. Just a...

I usually just grab a dishpan and dump the water into it. I used to try to balance it across to the sink. Messy! This is much better! After I've got all the components in the sink I fill up the...

My kitty is the proud owner of a "Drinkwell" fountain. Yes! It's a bear to clean for the first few times. It gets easier with practice. I think it takes me about 20 minutes or so to clean the...

That makes a whole lot of sense but I've never heard this before. Thank you so much for sharing the information! Now to see if I can remember it when I next bind a quilt!;)
