If cats and dogs had opposable thumbs, they'd rule the world.

The other day I went shopping on M* and instead of paging forward through all 30 pages of fabric, I started at the back. I found the perfect fabric for some curtains for a room in the house. So I put...

Good morning everyone,
Well the predicted storm is finally hitting us. When I took the dogs out a little after 7 everything was coated in a solid sheet of ice. I'm so glad that DD left for...

I just signed up for the Amish Twist IV Block of the Month after wanting it for a long time. The first month will arrive shortly I know, but is there any way to get a copy of the directions so I can...

Good morning all,
What a grumbly grungy rainy day it is here. I wonder if I'll be able to turn off the lights today. We might get some snow today, but it's too warm to lay.

Today DD left for...

Good Morning to all,

It's a dark and gloomy looking day here but pretty warm as far as temperature goes. Despite that, all the animals are showing a distinct lack of motivation for the day. I wish...

Ha! I finally Googled it and found out how it's done.

As a birthday gift, hubby bought me some gift cards to M*. I've seen where I can check the balance, but can not find out how to actually enter the gift cards. Can anyone help?

Good morning everyone...
Here's another vote to leave the clocks alone. Boy I hate it and it takes days to get used to it. However, it was getting light a little after 6 and I could see that it was...

Call me trusting, but perhaps they are putting out the red carpet so they can fill those empty beds.

Hello everyone.....it looks like today will be the last warm day for a while. Highs for the next couple of days will be in the 40's and to me that's cold. We haven't gotten the amount of rain that...

I finger press first; then all it takes is a little guidance of the fingers with the iron following.

Oh my, that started my day off with a laugh. Thank you!

Hello everyone - it's a lovely day today with what the weatherman calls abundant sunshine. It's strange that as warm as it will be, any day we could have snow. I still haven't gotten out my cold...

Thanks to all who responded. This is what I'm planning to do with the blocks. It's one of my test blocks, so I'll find the bar tack on my machine or use a short run of a satin stitch for the tying....

Here's one of the blocks

Good morning all, I have a question about tying a quilt. I've made 49 crazy quilt blocks and I'm getting ready to decorate them and then assemble them into the top. My plan was to tie them, but........

A few years ago I purchased an Accuquilt electric machine and I have never regretted it. I have severe hand and wrist arthritis and sometimes it's just plain necessary to let it do the work for me. I...

Here are some of the blocks to my first crazy quilt. I've decided that I want to make it a bed quilt instead of 2 separate wall hangings; there are 50 blocks so that's not an issue. I've already...

By my calculations each inside block should measure 2" (13 x 2 = 26) and each outside block should be 2.25 (2 x 2.25 = 4.5) with a total of 30.5. Some else please chime in .....

Oh happy Friday! I'm so ready for this week to be over. We had 7 new windows installed on our porch on Wednesday, and this morning I can really tell a difference. It's in the 30's but the porch is...

Good morning all!
At the moment "our" contractor is installing new windows on our porch. We spent yesterday pulling out the old windows and getting the openings prepped. Then we tacked cardboard...

Good morning to all!
Yes, it's definitely fall here; we had our first frost yesterday. The afternoon was very warm. This type of weather has me guessing how to dress every morning.
I've been...

Happy Hump Day!
It's pretty warm here today, and I can't believe that in October I'm still wearing T-shirts. Usually by now the thermal tops are my shirt of choice. But every day like this means one...

Welcome back sweetie!
Today is overcast, damp and chilly, so any motivation I had to get things done in the house is gone. Oh horrors.....I guess I'll have to just sew all day. Although we just may...
