Patience & Quilting by
Sherry
I've figured something out. I have lots of patience with sewing and
quilting. I've handquilted
lots of quilts. Even kingsized and enjoyed every second of it.
But I tried to long-arm a 60x60 quilt and was ready to pull my hair
out. It took four hours.
First I loaded it wrong. Twice. Then the...

AOT swamp water by
Polly Esther[_5_]
(Almost) OT . . . A wonderful price on fine pure white flannel led me to buy
a whole lot of it. I'm making plain hemmed receiving blankets. Nothing
fancy but they will snuggle sweet babies just fine.
The problem? Our well water contains lots of salt and all manner of
minerals, vitamins,...

Winston has gone to Rainbow Bridge by
DiMa[_4_]
Hi all,
I am feeling extremely sad at the moment as my beautiful boy Winston went to
Rainbow Bridge this morning.

OT reminder: hold Sherry close by
Polly Esther[_5_]
Please join hearts, hands and prayers for our Sherry who's having gastric
by-pass tomorrow. Sherry's not having the by-pass to lose weight; her
stomach is in trouble and she needs the surgery to survive. We want for
her: fine care and quick healing. Polly

OTHER sewing spaces by
Polly Esther[_5_]
The thread on sewing spaces has been such a joy. I love to see the places
where you create. NOW. What about the 'other' spaces you've encroached?
Where do you slip in just a little or a lot so you have room to quilt?
I've discovered that our dining room table is a great place to hide away...

Sewing spaces -- by
Kate in MI
In trying to find the floor of my sewing area-- I find myself once again
wondering where all of you sew? And if you are more organized than I am!
So I am asking you to take a picture of your sewing area and upload it to
your favorite photo website (I use webshots -- others use shutterfly,...

suddenly of Feline Peritonitis at the beginning of October.

A new/old machine for me. by
John
Here is what I found this AM when I passed by the small Singer shop in
the next town over. I stopped in to see about Featherweight parts, and
asked if he had any used Older Singer machines. He had a bunch of
really nice older machines. One of them was a Singer Model 404 Slant
Needle straight stitch...

New pictures by
Alice in PA[_3_]
The last two photos in my Webshots Quilt album show the second scrappy
tumbler quilt I've made. Even though it looks like I used a lot of
tumblers, I still have tons left!! They are fun to do, and provide a great
place to practice free-motion quilting!

A truly horrifying idea by
John
Here is what happens when a random though comes to fruition. The
thought was: What if you took the Log Cabin pattern and set it on
point with 60 Degree points. I think I would loose my mind sewing a
bed sized quilt in this manner. Then again, maybe I have lost my mind,
just coming up with this...

OT - Wide Printer? by
Bev in TX
I already mentioned this in the "A truly horrifying idea" thread, but it
was not very visible there. I'm thinking of getting a wider printer for
PP'ing, so that I don't have to tape sheets of paper together for larger
patterns. That is, something that prints at least 11" wide, rather than...

OT heirloom stitchers by
Polly Esther[_5_]
The online heirloom fabric shop I dearly love is closing. This just breaks
my little heart. Monday, it was sickening to see that Wally has abolished
their fabric section except for 12 colors of Coats & Clark thread - take it
or leave it.
Anyhow - if there's a special new baby in your...
