It looks to me like the stars are in the double sashings. I would try the Marti Michell Sashing Stars set to recreate this. I have her wonky star template for sashing that I just got, so I haven't...

I haven't made a silk velvet quilt, but I have sewn quite a few garments with silk and silk velvet, so speaking from experience, I salute your courage! A few tips I have are to use a very fine...

I have pretty significant spine problems so I have to be extremely careful and aware of how I'm feeling. I agree that getting up to press items and move around the house is essential. Our bodies...

So sorry this is happening to you, but kind of inevitable. I think a phone is pretty standard for kids today, especially those in divided households. But i urge you to consider carefully how to...

I never figured out why that shredding happened so I stopped trying to use it for fmq. I always use a Superior topstitch needle for FMQ in my Jukis and generally I don't have problems. I have also...

Such sweet photos! Congratulations to you and your family as as you welcome this darling girl.

I have the same machine you use. I had issues with the cotton Missouri Star thread shredding. When I was using the poly for free motion quilting I could not get the tension adjusted until I too used...

May, I am so sorry you and your family lost your beloved Patrick. Thanks for sharing the photos of happier times. May your many sweet memories console you all.

A very happy birthday wish for you Annika. Yes, it seems outrageous the way the years fly by. It sounds like you have a lovely celebration planned. Enjoy your bike! How thoughtful of your girls to...

As far as I know Warm and Natural has always been needle punched because it has always had a scrim. I see on their website that they now have an all cotton needle punched batting, but I have not...

Your design is very beautiful. I especially like the switchback lines contrasting with the gorgeous feathers you did. This is lovely and inspiring.

It must be a great ray of hope for all those families suffering to know that Jerrod and his fellow subjects are doing so well. Wishing him the best possible outcome.

Hello! I've had a wool pressing mat beside my machine for about 3 months now, and I love it. I use it for small units and blocks such as the Splendid Sampler 2 which I am doing as well as for...

Hi! Haven't stopped by the forum for a while, so it was meant to be I guess that I'm here and saw your question. Isn't Pinterest just the most annoying thing ever to try to get usable information?...

I have an android phone and that's where I have my Block app downloaded. Yes, the issues available are listed from Vol. 1's issues. Both for regular Block and ModBlock. I stopped my subscription...

Gramma Babs, I'm with you. I worked from the time I was 14, always in fields where interacting with customers or patients was critical to success. All I can say in defense of store clerks today, is...

I love that pattern too, and it's been on my Aspirational To Do list for a long time. Your version is lovely and I'm sure your mom will be delighted with her gift.

I haven't tried those so I read the reviews on amazon, concentrating on the 1 and 2 star. I read the very same complaint that I experienced when I bought Aurora Arts blades for my 60 mm cutter....

A great looking display you had there, and such cute items! I know the variety must have drawn so many sales to you. Glad it was a good show for you. Obviously, lots of hard work there.

Smart of you to let off some steam unloading here, where there are so many kind and supportive people who get your misery. Grief is an all consuming thing at times, even many months after a loss,...

Maybe a silly question, but why not use Mono Poly in the bobbin as well?

Lily I am so sorry. I was reading this morning about the terrible scale of the devastation and that the town of Paradise is destroyed. I do imagine many folks will not be able to afford to rebuild...

Yes, wow indeed. I so admire and respect the talent and workmanship of these artists. They are inspiring. Edit to add, I meant to mention that I'd heard elsewhere that the winning quilt, Eternal...

Oh I am so glad I read this thread! I've started sorting and re-binning my stash (overgrown, too large for my apartment, and not all of it is still of interest to me) so I can change my shelving. The...

Frankly I'm a little shocked at how much you have already spent on repairs. Remember every dollar comes out of your downpayment on your next home. The agent is _supposed_ to be working for YOU, not...
