http://www.flickr.com/photos/onetexsun/ This is the quilt that my friend made and we quilted together on the Gammill at our LQS. It is a very special quilt emotionally and I smile grandly every time I pull it over me for a nap, a movie on the sofa or for a good night's sleep under the cool night...

Hi everyone I finally finished another one! This one for my friend who invites us up to her other home in NH. Just came home from a very nice vacation there. This is my first big quilt done in free motion quilting (It doesn't show up in the pictures) But I tried to quilt The Old Man in...

Hi Guys, Well, I went through all of my autumn fabrics and have decided on just what I will use to make my planned scrappy autumn fabric Cat quilt. I have 8 different cat fabrics that are also autumn prints AND have the purple that I so dearly love :-). This is the quilt I have talked...

http://www.flickr.com/photos/28328779@N00/2710811980/in/photostream/ I bought a fat quarter of the entire line of fabric, so I've got enough left to (maybe?) make curtains.

I'm making big crazy quilt blocks for a throw to take to my mom when I go see her later this month. What do you think is the best way to connect crazy blocks? If you use sashing, Do you use busy stuff, do you crazy quilt sashing or do you go for something calming? Thanks for the...

Has anyone here used this? I'm looking for a cone adapter to fit on my machine so I can use the cone thread. It is a lot cheaper buying a bigger quantity then just 500 yds on a spool. I have a Berina 730 and wondered if this would fit my machine and how well it works. Thanks, Annie

Is it just me? Whenever I visit Webshots my mouse gets herky-jerky, it takes a long time to load photos, going back and forth takes a long time. They all eventually load, so it isn't missing software. I have come to detest them! I don't have this problem with any other website, including flickr,...

A friend of ours does house clean-outs and that sort of thing frequently. I asked him to keep his eyes open for a featherweight and explained what I was looking for. He told me quite a while ago that he had found one and would bring it with him next time he came through town. Well, I've been...

DH bought me a tan Featherweight for Xmas last. It is my favorite of the three I now own. I have wound bobbins on it since it has arrived in my new home, but last week, I could not get the bobbin winder to engage with the belt. DH & I both tried to drop the motor down, to tighten up the...

So a friend sent me a magazine because I buy leather from a shop in the town it comes from. The leather shop was suggested by a certain person here, and so it all comes full circle... In the magazine a lady was well pleased with "Organic Press and Starch Solution for...

It arrived today, my Granny's quilt top, all folded neatly into a tiny little bundle that fit neatly inside my mail box. I have to confess my hands were shaking as I opened it. Oh my..... The top is now spread out on my bed and I can hardly stand to look at it for long. There, in neat blocks sewn...
