New to me SM by
Debi Matlack
I finally got a Freecycle sewing machine (this will be the third) that
actually has a chance of working again. (The others went on to Goodwill, for
the chance someone who can actually fix things would get them). This one is
the cutest little Singer Merritt 212 you've ever seen. All she needs is...

New babies-- by
Pati Cook
No not mine, exactly. This morning as I was getting ready to go teach a
class the cat who has decided that I am her person, was really "clingy".
She, along with most of the female cats in the neighborhood, is very
pregnant. She was wandering and actually meowing---something she very
seldom...

Dark Back and White Top? by
dogmom
So, I've pieced my Bricks quilt top (thank you, Quiltville!) and it has
diagonal 3" WOW squares. The rest is very scrappy (and looks pretty nice, I
think!) For the back I have some royal blue yardage with 4" chartreuse frogs
(playing drums and guitars, if that matters ;-) which the recipient...

Help with quilting decision by
teleflora
http://outonalimbpatterns.com/136.html
I just finished this top. It's by far the biggest I've ever attempted - 50"
X 50"! That's huge for me, I usually deal with minis. And don't usually
finish those, so this is a real milestone for me.
Now I have reached the stage of the instructions that I...

Bulk machine needles sources?? by
Charlotte Hippen
I know one person here said that they had once purchased a 100ct. pk of
machine needles at JoAnns. I check my local JoAnns and either they no
longer carry them, or they are not carried at my location. Where do the
rest of you get your bulk machine needles from?? Any online places to avoid...

Calling all designers - Lots o' questions by
TwinMom
I need your input here. I've been thinking of starting a pattern production
side line to augment the family income (which is pretty low as a SAHM). I
used to have a quite successful graphic design business (pre-kids) so I have
all the software tools, production experience, etc. My experiences as...

Batik squares by
Sunny
I am the proud new owner of a stack of batik squares. There are around
30 of the 4-inch size and 20 of the 5-inch. No two alike, probably. I
bought them with an eye to applique, but now looking at them I am just
mad to have them all in one piece. Problem is I have no batik yardage
and right now...

Bernina Machines by
mb from pa
I have a Singer sewing machine that is over 20 years old, and I think
I deserve a new machine. I've been looking at all different types of
machines. I just came from the local shop that sells Bernina. I was
looking at the Aurora 430 and the 440QE. They both look so good. I'm
trying to get some...

Quilting on Styrofoam by
PinkLady
Hi all - Looking for instructions to make Christmas ornaments and/or
Pinecones using squares of fabric, folded like Prairie Points. I believe
these fabric squares are then pinned around the round or egg shaped
styrofoam shapes. I made them many years ago and can't recall how they are
done. ...

Quilt tops for sale by
songbud
Hi everyone,
I've got a few quilt tops that I guess I'll never get around to
quilting-so I figured I'd put them up for sale. If I can sell them
someone who loves to quilt will get to baste them and quilt them and
these tops will get finished - finally. I've got too many commission
quilts to work...

Aha quilting moments by
Kathy Applebaum
KJ's post about her "aha!" moment with measuring borders got me thinking.
What's a quilting aha moment you've had (that you're willing to confess to)?
We might all learn something. :)
Mine was that the quilt police would not come and arrest me if I drew on my
ironing board cover. I took a fine...

My well-trained hubby by
Leslie & The Furbabies in MO.
Last evening I was making a quilt. My Hunky Mr. Collins peeked his
head into the room and asked "how is the quilt coming along?" I said
I was in a complete panic because I had run out of fabric. He glanced
around the room- there were stacks of fabric on the sewing table, the
cutting table, the...

Quilt advise ... kinda long by
Kate T.
Ladies and gents I need some advise on how to gently get out of a
situation my neighbor has gotten me into.
My neighbor's brother has rental property and an elderly lady rents
from him.
She decided last month that she wanted to start making quilts. She
sent her first ever quilt to my neighbor...
