So, we had this great 10 year old cat named Jack who just recently died. Jack was a great cat and the kids would carry him around and sit on him and nothing ever bothered him. He used to hang out and nap all day long this mat in our bathroom. Well, we have 3 kids at the time of this...

Either you were all busy enjoying Mother's Day or there is something wrong with my internet server. I received only 40 posts from Sunday. You are never that quiet while I am away. I celebrated Mother's Day by not lifting a finger for our main meal at 1:00 p.m. After a nap I sewed for several...

We want to make a quilt for a gay couple we know who are having a civil partnership ceremony shortly. One ingredient we'd like to find is a fabric with a design of Hunky Lifeguards (or swimmers of some other variety, at any rate lots of muscle and Speedos). Firemen and builders seem to be...

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...

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...

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...

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...
