Time to upgrade my washing machine. Water going up 29% and I need to reduce. The old machine (as Candice Olsen would say) doesn't owe anyone anything. It has served long and hard. I'll take any good and bad comments or things to watch for in the newer front loaders. Oh, I prewash my fabrics so...

It has always been difficult to be a junior high size - at 18, 21, 41, 61 .... well, Always. Today it became even worse. I puzzled that all the women on the tv news, weather and whatnot were wearing low-cut New Year's Eve party clothes and their WonderBras. Today it hit home. I ordered...

Hi all! I'm going to convert our guest bedroom (small...probably 10 by 12) into a sewing room for myself. I'd like to get some ideas about how to set it up, and thought I'd get input from knowledgeable quilters. I've ordered a Draft a Quilt table, which, when not in use, can be set flush against...
