I'm heading to Texas today to help my parents out for a couple weeks. So don't talk too much! I'm sure I won't be able to catch up when I get back, so here's happy dances, good thoughts and atta girls for all those who need them. Prayers for recovery of their health would be greatly...

I'm a brave adventurer and I need magical clothes and othr objects to fight an evil sorcerer who wants to destroy my world. Is magical quilting possible? Can you create something for me, so that the monsters in the first dungeon don't eat me?

Mom had surgery (twisted bowel) and if things don't fix themselves will have to have more in a couple of days. They want to build her up a bit more.

DH bought the software for me for Christmas, but for the life of me I can't find where to plug the cable into my sewing machine! Lady at the store doesn't know, and the owner won't be back for a few days. This is driving my crazy! All the info on the Bernina website says it works with all...

Hi all, I just want to say THANK YOU from the very bottom of my heart for the prayers and support over the 5-7 days or so. It has helped me immensely to know there have been the prayers and good thoughts being directed for me and my family. My family got the best Christmas present ever this...

Looking into different machine quilting frames to use with my Janome Memory Craft 6500. Leaning towards the Little Gracie II and would like to hear from anyone with experience with it (both pros and cons)

I have just spent the past two hours or more on my knees, crawling around the living room floor, putting together the sandwich for my most urgent must finish project (my mom's memory quilt). The darn thing "only" measures 72" x 96". And the batting I have chosen is cloud loft (mountain mist??). So,...
