That was my first thought. After spending an hour looking for the Post-It
Notes I decided to use the medical tape I had used for my husband while he
was still with me. Don't know if that was a...

Polly, I have a 2000 Saturn and when the windshield wipers quit working, my

So far so good. The tape goes on top of the bobbin cover with just a bit on
the sewing machine itself. It hasn't slipped yet when I removed the cover
to remove the bobbin. It was nice to get the...

Polly, you are such an inspiration. After I posted that message I decided
to try one more time to get the width I wanted in a seam. I put the needle
in the down position, measured my scant 1/4"...

hand piecing and quilting
I hand sew the piecing, but prefer tying my quilts for the old-fashioned
look (which, of course, is done by hand). I bought a new portable sewing
machine a few months ago because my 43-year-old...

I felt the same way after my husband died in March of this year. Couldn't
think about crocheting for indigent school kids, couldn't look at my stash,

One of the things about this group that gave me such hope was I learned that

Length of kids scraves
I make scarves 36-40" long that tuck inside the coat so they don't get
tangled and other kids don't grab at them when playing and accidentally
cause a problem.

OT Postal costs increase USA
When I heard about the price hike I went to the post office and bought a
roll of "forever stamps", so perhaps they were just out of the rolls in some
post offices.

I'm another big fan of sizing; having used starch in years, but the sizing
gives fabric a nice finish.
