Hi all: I've been out of communication lately with the holidays, illnesses and organizing my sewing room. I am going to go back to teaching sewing and quilting. However, when going through my stash I found some Harry Potter fabric and Blues clues fabric that I will probably never use. There is...

Hi Mika, My machine is back home and ready for embroidering again. The diagnoses main power board (possible power surge). I always have it on a surge protector and unplug when done, so go figure. Not under warranty :-(, so $250 later we are back in business. Let me know what and when you...

I just heard from my step-sister, who received my recently-finished effort called Réussite via FedEx on Friday. Actually, she called Friday to thank me, but today she called to tell me that she'd taken the quilt for a "test-drive" and that it works. LOL! She curled up under it to watch TV,...

A couple months or so ago, I asked you all which machines you liked the best. I've narrowed the playing field from those suggestions to two, but I'm having a hard time finding one in my price range. So....I'm looking at a few other options before I decide to just bide my time. More questions for...

Anyone know of a nice French botanical quilt pattern?

I know this group is a powerful force and if you have time to send some healing thoughts my way I would be grateful. This afternoon my 13.5 QI Chloe is a the Vet. She has congestive heart failure and although it has been under control for some time, today she was in obvious distress. I know when...

I've had lots of time to sit by the phone for the past several days, waiting for news of MIL and SIL, both of whom seem to be improving, thank goodness! While I waited, I worked on the quilt top from the class I took with Sharyn Craig last Friday. Since I knew I didn't want a large quilt out of...

Ok Pat, you so wonderfully gave me the right start to getting this silly butterfly done. But I am stuck again. I had to make a new butterfly body and now I have to make another one. Last night, when I got frustrated and gave up, I left my pieces out on the table, thinking that maybe if I just...
