Hello everyone! I started quilting many many years ago but let the hobby fall by the wayside when I discovered stamping. I found that it was easier to feel a sense of gratification from hand making cards because the end result is seen in a very short amount of time. However, in the last 6 months...

I am planning a baby quilt to be made up of flannel snowballs -- fussy cut centers of monkeys piloting airplanes with corner triangles of orange, yellow. red and blue. I want 6 inch finished blocks -- if I was using cotton, I would cut my center square to 6.5 inches and the blocks to make the...

For those who were following the "taming" of Rasputin . . . .. . He definitely shows a liking for quilts, but scuttles off fast when I come in the room as he is still not convinced that he is allowed to indulge in "quilt inspections". And although he comes into the warm at night, he stays out...

First of all I want to say "hello" to everybody. I have been okay just relaxing. I have one more surgery to go on my reconstruction. That should take place the end of the Summer. On my sewing machine Janome 6600 as I lift the pressure foot up it will beep...The bobbin has thread so it's not...

Hello, I have been cutting 3 7/8" squares out of scraps for a long time. When I get a moment, I match a dark and a light together and make some HSTs. Now I have quite a few.... Does anyone have a good idea for a layout? I don't want them all to just face the same way. I want something with a...

I've been thinking back to my early learn to sew days. I was pretty much self taught since my mother wouldn't take the time so just experimenting and reading got me going and then the Sewing Nazi from Hell for a Home Ec teacher was pretty much it for instructions my first 15 years of sewing. I...

Hi all Just to let you all know that my mission to finish my one off project is now on task. View what I would like it to finish as at: =ph and what I have achieved up to now...

I realize most people learned this in preschool, but I think I was absent that day...... How do you make snowflakes (and other designs) by folding paper and cutting with scissors? If somebody could direct me to photos online or just describe the process I would be grateful. I have tried and all I...

Well, I may have a quilter after all, we'll have to see. My 6 yr old son is showing interest in learning to sew and quilt. At first he asked me to teach him crochet (I was making up a charity afghan at the time). We tried, but just doesn't have the hand control he needs to hold the piece, the...

I am making several quilted denim covers to go over old comforters for the local dogs home. The ends are open to allow for replacement of the comforter and for washing. Where can I get snaps that don't get sewed on but heavy duty ones that go through and anchor "in" the fabric? I need them to be...

I am not going to be around through the end of this weekend. The "Remember Me" challenge deadline is July 14. I am nowhere done but I am determined to finish on time. This means staying away from the computer. I hope to sneak back on to see if anybody answered my question about snowflakes. But...

Here's a Safety Warning for those of you who are wearing 'I'm Stupid' signs around your necks. The smart folks can simply pass on to the next post. This one is much worse than the warning on the Rowenta that tells you not to iron your clothes while you are wearing them. Yesterday, I...

I have a great old White Model Sewing machine. Wonderful machine that is all metal except the plactic gear part that attaches the gears to the bobbin. I am looking for this part or an old white 764 that does not work I buy and take the part off of. Let me know if you can...

We just adopted a new kitty. She's about 6 wks old but tiny. As you can see (or maybe not see) by the pics in my QI album she is a grey and black tiger with a couple of small orange patches. Mom is black and suspected father is a grey tiger. She is affectionate and becoming more playful now...
