Pattern isnspiration by NightMist
After spending an evening explaining the difference between cashmere and mohair, and how much less expensive it is to buy a fleece than it is to buy an equivalent weight of wool yarn (wool prices are truly dreadful in the US), it is no wonder that I woke up this morning with this stuck in my...

I need a manual for an Necchi Alco a709-5 by Angela Lowry
I found a portable Necchi Alco a709-5 machine but not familiar with this machine. I fix donated machines to give to young or needy sewers. Mostly I have stuck to Singers but this was a curbside find in a case with cords, bobbin, and looks fine. I just need to oil her and find some papers to...

So we processed a half bushel of apples the other day and as a space saving measure set a crock pot cooking apple butter on a counter upstairs. You see my kitchen is an add on to the house, and upstairs is a former kitchen from the old duplex days. The roof of the real kitchen is just outside...

Fall Wall Hanging Done by [email protected]
My fall flowers wall hanging is done. It came out pretty good but was a little disappointed because I made the leaves a little bigger than neccessary for the size of flowers used. One stem was too long, so I added two more leaves which fixed that problem. If you don't see me post for a...

Rich vs. poor by Brian[_3_]
I have been rereading the book "Quilts/their story and how to make them" that I talked about in my recent post, or at least the history portion, as I find that part very interesting. One thing that it doesn't talk about directly, but is sort of alluded to in several places is how...

Quilting nightmare -- literally by Julia in MN[_5_]
A few nights ago, I dreamed that I had arrived at a quilting retreat at a location about 3 hours from where I live. After I got there, I realized that I had the patterns for the projects I wanted to work on, but I had left the fabric and my sewing machine at home. I had to turn around and go...
