Bring a Visa card with a PIN number, stick it in the machine. Everyplace on
the planet pretty much has an ATM. And you often get better exchange rates.
Tell Visa where you're going so they don't...

There are dual-voltage hairdryers, so I imagine they make curling irons as
well. Buy an adaptor plug too. Lots depends on where you go and what your
accommodations are. Staying with friends? Hotel?...

I was like you, a scoffer, until the day the needle actually hit one at full
speed. And found out why it's a good thing the tip of the needle has thread
running through it. I do hate replacing...

You could do it that way, I think. (Remember you have 3 layers with the
backing beneath the batting!) But IMO it would be hard to trim the
background accurately. Might just be easier to do the...

How to have a quilt appraised?
I'm no expert, but so much of a quilt's value depends on the quality of
workmanship, both assembly and quilting, whether the maker is well-known,
the age, condition and provenance (does it have a...

Welcome!
What sort of quilting? If it's an all-over grid, you could quilt it first

do that first and then quilt around...

Mini Texas star
Nobody will notice the center unless you point it out. What about putting
the Texas state flower in the middle? Isn't that a bluebonnet (lupine)? You

Another of Pat's Geometrical quilts is finished.
Wow! In those colors, it reminded me immediately of that Japanese print with
the huge wave and the tiny boat, Mount Fuji in the distance IIRC. The back
looks much more complicated than the front...
