Hope all of you are safe and secure and protected from both the doggone heat waves and horrific storms that keep running through the country. Enough! Praying better (and calmer) weather will soon be on their way. Ya can't quilt when it's too hot or lose power in a storm. ME-Judy (who...

Or I at least need to take them out, wrap them in cotton wool and soak them in tepid tea. Next time I agree to do pay work remind me that I need to specify CLEAR copy, detailed diagrams, and if somebody wants translations of any kind whatsoever they had best provide them for me. I am silk...

Okay. Here's the plan. While you are out shopping for embroidery floss to match the comforter so you can practice your buttonhole stitching on the long cut, you might as well buy one of those cardboard, sort of accordion fold things to put on top of your bedding. I had to use our bed for...
