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,...

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,...

New QI by Sally Swindells
We lost Hodge to old age at the beginning of 2010 and Kiwi died very suddenly of Feline Peritonitis at the beginning of October. Today Katy joined our family. She is a 5 month old rescue cat (she was dumped at a re-cycling centre with her two brothers and her mother who disappeared two days...

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! -- Alice in...

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...
