I am in the Catskills....Sullivan County.

Good to know....thank you.

Regular sewing machine with a walking foot. I do know I needed to use more pins and it needed to be sewn edge to edge. The technique worked well otherwise. I am just annoyed I did not catch it when i...

Did not catch this until I was finishing the binding. Fortunately, it is on the back near the corner. I can fudge this with the label. Do not know how this happened???

You are all correct about vintage machines. My Old Betsy performed magnificently!!! It was like sitting with an old friend. The weight is right on this machine. It is a sturdy machine. It was made...

Was really upset and disappointed yesterday when the $500.00 Singer sewing machine I bought last year ceased to function in the middle of whipping up a quilt for my grandson. I almost forgot I...

Thank you ladies, I can feel much more comfortable with fudging and blessed that I know how.

Wow....that is advanced fudging. I am sure it will be beautiful.

Yes, and I am finding that many of my sewing imperfections will not be noticeable when the quilt is finished. Many new quilters think it has to be perfect. They become discouraged when they feel its...

I have been watching quilt shows for years.....watched them all....Shar, Eleanor Burns, Fons and Porter, Kate Wood, Georgia Bonsteel, Nancy Zieman....and all the new ladies....Donna Jordan, Mary...

Rhode Island is one of my favorite places to visit. On my bucket list is to drive to the end of Long Island and take the ferry to Block Island......someday.

I have only been making quilts for about 9 months. I tend to be very frugal. I made a mistake cutting the flag fabric on the Cascade quilt. Since it is the same fabric, I use the miss cut pieces on...

Both quilts are reversible. Pictures of the 14 blocks quilt are before it was quilted.

Happy Mother's day to all from the cold, windy, and rainy Catskills.
Cascade QOV - sent out to be quilted at Fiddlehead Quiltworks. Cassandra did an amazing job. Pictures did not do this quilt...

Received these photos from the quilter. Front and back, QOV #5. I am pleased with the results.

It never occurred to me to actually sew together pieces for 2 quilts at the same time.

So excited to find these....who knew you could multitask while quilting!?!!!

You need a friend who goes to auctions. My friend wanted some linens that were in a box. She got the box for $10.00. She only wanted the linens. There were 2 quilts at the bottom of the box. She gave...

What about a friendship/signature quilt? People can sign it as they enter, and the names of those who have passed or cannot attend can also be included. You could section it for favorite teachers,...

Thank you!

Thank you!

I am a first born, perfectionist, controlling type by nature. The back, using the remaining 5 blocks, is sewn with the "cut your coat to fit your cloth/make it do/use it up" theory of quilting. I...

You may be right!

I bought an Oliso....I like it.....I agree the steam output could be better. The best iron I had was a Shark. It was only $59 at Wal-Mart. Lots of steam.

Thank you. I wish I could buy more of the blue floral fabric. It has the perfect combination of color shades and compliments a variety of colors.....and it makes me smile inside!
