Some time ago, April in SW Washington very kindly gave me instructions for getting a walking foot for my old Kenmore. It's finally on the way, just in time to MQ my Twisted Tails quilt for a Christmas gift. Thanks, April! And thank you all for your good advice, tips, and general sharing. I just...

The T-shirt quilt that I made the hard way for my friend is finally done and sent off to her. It ended up being Queen sized with more than 40 t-shirts involved in it. I used thick poly batting and tied it wherever the shirt patterns let me sink a needle. I did a self binding with white muslin, even...

DH and I flew out to Arizona to visit the Grand Canyon last week. We arrived in Phoenix about 6:00 pm Sunday, which was 9:00 pm our regular time. We spent the night in Phoenix and started our drive to the Grand Canyon bright and early the next morning. This meant I didn't get to visit the...

Is it crazy to want to make my own quilting patterns? I'm thinking of designing a "play quilt" for Alena when she's a bit older. Things with big buttons, zippers, pockets, squeakers etc. Has anyone ever done this before? Aren't I full of questions today? -- Lina Alena born July 1st,...

Today I finished making a simple dress from the piece of gorgeous hand- painted silk DD1 sent for my birthday. There's enough left for a large scarf, so that's the next project. Then the silk scraps become stash! Just in time too, I'm fiddling with some experimental silk blocks based on...

I was happily snuggling under a quilt on the first night I've needed one this season, but once this got in my head, sleeping was OVER. I'll spare you all the "family circle" style meandering that got me here, but here it is... You do a bed size quilt out of a single log cabin block. EQ5 would...

I finally got around to checking out the maybe-quilt store in the local strip mall (Cameron Park California). It really is a quilting store. Bolts of fabric, some FQs (I think) and a classroom in the back. I didn't get a lot of detail, I was in and out very quickly. The name of it seems to be High...
