Both of my seam rippers have seen better days. I took a look through quiltshops.com and didn't find any fun or even funky seam rippers. While I am sure that none of you ever use a seam ripper, perhaps you have seen or heard of someone who has a great one? This would be a great itme for my wish...

Well, after 3 weeks on the road, I am finally home. I can finally sleep in my own bed. I can finally have my morning coffee with milk instead of powered stuff (and delivered by my hubby) and I can finally get back to sewing. I left for North Carolina on November 5th. It was a vacation of sorts...

I forget who helped me with how to make carolers capes out of polar fleece but, THANKS. You were right I just cut a length of it about 4" down from the top I put a casing and ran a ribbon through it. Then I bought some fuzzy fabric and cut it in about a 1" strip and glued it around the edge. I...

Hi oh wise ones, I know I should just figure this out myself... I can imagine how it would be done, but I thought I'd ask in case anyone had done them befo Someone posted to one of my other groups asking for a pattern to make quilted Starbucks-like coffee sleeves. This would be perfect for my...

Hey y'all. Last year, I did a swap with a non-quilter pal from England. He was supposed to bring me 100% cotton quilting fabric in exchange for a meal. I didn't have the heart to tell him that what he brought may be cotton, but it's not quilting fabric, lol. I'm informed that it is a type...

If anyone is interested. No Dead lines! I've been working with Penrose Tilings to figure out a layout and colour scheme that I like, I will make one someday but I've done so many layouts I won't be able to make all of them and I'd hate to see the work I've done go to waste. The layouts are...

Joann has some 200 ct. 100% cotton muslin. Now, I'm a muslin snob.... has anybody experienced this muslin? How does it act after washing and drying? Does it have a nice smooth hand both before and after laundering? How wrinkle-free is it? I'm concerned about ordering online and being...
