Hello! I need some ideas, A friend asked me what she can do with some girl scouts of her group working on a sewing badge. They are aged from 7 to 10, and the only requirement is something that can hand sewn at a summer camp (I think also something that could be useful for summer camping). Had...

Hello everyone I have not been posting much lately. Been busy. Barely time to stop and smell the flowers, and trust me, after two weeks plus of non-stop rain, three days of sunshaine will make the spring flowers come out en masse. Things are happening here in Spain. I am working even more hours...

Hi Guys, Just returned from our annual trip to Lizard Land and the SMDGD's b-day trip -- Disneyland this year. I made her a bunny quilt this year (photos will be posted soon) which I made on my clunky sewing machine while we were up at our cabin for a few days. While I was there, DSonIL...

I've been enjoying my new scissors and thought I'd share the idea. When I machine quilt on my home machine, I worry about nipping the backing when I reach under to cut the bobbin thread. (Yes, I know my other machine has an auto thread cutter, but I never think to switch.) So I ordered a pair of...

I've been thinking about this for some time; and, seeing Val's post this morning, reminded me to post about it. *How* do you store your P&Q books? I have tried a few methods, but I always end up looking for one by having to go all way along two shelves looking for it. The exception to this is...

My 5yr old DGD is learning to sew 2 1/2" squares together by hand. I explained to her that the 5 pioneer girls learned to sew at that age....I set up a sewing basket for her with needle and thread and a TINY thimble and some precut 2 1/2" squares she chose from my stash..She is making a blankie...
