A story for you by
Bob & Kathleen
Please share my joy as I relate some recent events in my life.
In 1971 my parents took me from Michigan to Abilene, TX to stay in a
home for unwed mothers. In August of that year, I gave birth to a boy,
signed the papers and Mom and Dad took me back home. It was never
mentioned again in our home....

A Sweet Surprise by
polly esther
We had wondered what had become of our JP - alias Joanne in Canada. Today,
she sent a precious little flannel preemie quilt to me for the shelter. JP
reports that her server is not allowing access to newsgroups - we all know
about those woes - so she cannot read or post. She was just very...

A tale of 2 blankets by
frood
This is technically off-topic, as it is about sewn blankets, not quilts.
Read at your own risk.
Fifteen years ago, I was gifted with 2 blankets - 2 layers of flannel,
serged around the edges, in nice bright colors. DD#1 (who was born shortly
afterwards) thought they were very nice baby...

A tale of two machines by
Sharon Harper
I've just started sewing up a hugs and kisses baby quilt for a dear
co-worker friend of DH's (baby is due later in the year) and as out-dated
and obsolete as my Gerty Werty (Wertheim) is she is just so, so much more
*modern* than my old Singer 248 (circa around 1967 from Santiago Chile - yes

A Tale of Two Online Orders, or Caveat Emptor by
frood
On June 19, I place 2 orders with 2 different vendors. I was making a quilt
for my mom's 75th birthday (I've posted pics of it in progress - it's the
Sword Dance WIP), and wanted to get working on it as soon as possible. I
knew I wouldn't be able to make it out to a store for several days (it was...

A tale of woe by
John
I just got back from the Bernina Dealer where I have dropped off my
favorite Bernina 1008 Mechanical, which I converted to Treadle use.
The reason I dropped it off, is that I managed to botch up the innards
trying to complete some bags for my wife's charity auction. I got most
of them complete,...

A tale of Woe: Part 2. The final solution by
John
I have been experimenting with construction methods for these bags,
and have come up with some creative solutions that will allow me to
use my Bernina treadle. I have in place a new Bernina that I have used
as a back-up electric machine for awhile, and It has now been
converted from electric to...

A thank you by
luverofpeanuts
I don't post here, or even really read posts here daily. But I had to take
time out to post a thank you to those of you that do, because I harvested a
lot of information from this group for my wife as she searched for sewing
machine.
She's become interested in quilting in the last year or so and...

A Thank You by
joan8904 in Bellevue Nebraska
For years, I've made baby quilts for my sons and their wives to give
as baby gifts. Sometimes I get a thank you note; usually I don't.
But I enjoy making quilts that size and it's never really bothered me.
Today my daughter in law in Lincoln (I was there to kidsit today) gave
me a photo album. ...

What started out as one Hug quilt became two, and the two became 25, which
were donated to Beth's Place, a local women's shelter here in Illinois.
Some of you contributed to this, so I thought I would share the wonderful
letter I got from them yesterday - -
"Thank you so much for the donation to...

a though - on topic by
Karen, Queen of Squishies
I've started sewing the strips to the top an bottom of my blocks. If I then
trim to size that way, I would save some fabric as I sew the strips to the
sides, would I not? They wouldn't have to be so long, and then be cut off?
Am I imagining this? Am I actually thinking like a quilter this...
