So yesterday I had my very first quilt class at my local Sew N Serge store. It was great as only Fiona and myself had registered for the class so we got Jean, the teacher's, undivided attention, well divided only two ways anyway.

Neither of us have ever done any quilting before, well except that last week I dabbled with a small pinreel design for a throw cushion, but that wasn't 'real' quilting, done 'proper like' I mean!

Jean was very patient and showed us the way to straighten up the fabric… Continue

My son's wedding was this weekend. It was up in the Big Horn Mountains at his fiance's grandparents cabin with no electricity nor running water, but a beautiful cabin that was built back in the 1850's and added onto in the early 1900's. The scenery was beautiful and we enjoyed seeing moose and elk. The family my son married into is wonderful with a great sense of humor. The long time neighbor and friend was the minister and he made the ceremony very enjoyable and funny. One thing he did do is cl… Continue

A youngster of seventy four
was thinking her day was a bore
to shake off the dust
a party's a must
I'll invite all the gals here and more


So off she went to the stitch chat
With her best bib 'n tucker and hat
she said I'm the one
who's going to have fun
I'm gonna be the coolest cool cat


Now what do we have here to drink
a margarita with a lime slice I think
with a dash of rim salt
that will give us a jolt
she said with the cheekiest wink


But the gig needs a little more spice
a Chippendale… Continue

Well folks, I've been successfully evading quilting for a long time now and every time you quilty lot try to reel me in I've slipped off the hook, although, I have to say that since joining www.stitchchat.com the lure has been getting stronger and stronger.

This morning I was happily enjoying myself at my local sewing store's sewing club and what was the mini project demo today? Only a pinreel quilt block! Waaaggghhh! no escape route, too many stitchers blocking the way!

So bam! you finally go… Continue

I just bought a Brother 350 and I love it so far. I ordered a CD off of Ebay of some different fonts and I know I need to order a PED Basic Software. My questions is will this download the new fonts? I can't see the fonts now when I put them on the computer. Can someone answer me please?

Where is the beep? Oh that's right, I'm on my old "regular" machine and it doesn't beep!

I remember thinking, (as I was watching the demonstration of the Singer Futura by Ruth, the Singer lady, while she was pointing out to me all the 'bells and whistles' of the machine) who needs all those fancy bits?

What needlewoman can't thread a needle, or know when the thread has broken, or the bobbin has run out?

Err, well, it appears - me!

Today was the first time in months that I have used my old re… Continue

How do you report someone as a spammer? I see there is someone that posted a BUNCH of stuff on here, the one to me was totally inappropriate, but I don't know how to report it.

I'm back from the deep dark abyss of no computer connection to the world. Hubby even felt sorry for me and bought me another computer -- and he hates computers. It has been almost a month since I was last here at the site. Brother !!! A lot has changed. I'm now surfing the 'net on a satellite connection.... Whooooopppeeeeee.......... What a difference.

Anyway, I got a lot to catch up on and a ton of e-mails to dump, again. I was trying to organize my designs when the last computer got zapped...… Continue

My dear husband has unwittingly made the decision for me, I have finally decided that I need a dedicated sewing room.

Until now I've always had my sewing machine in the spare bedroom and pulled out the stuff I need when I've needed it. Being a spare bedroom the biggest flat surface is, of course, the bed! So it gets covered with my spreading out the thread boxes, fabric, etc. until the duvet is almost lost completely.

So what changed? Last weekend DH hurt his back and has taken himself off to… Continue

well today by embroidery machine when to the doctor and they told me it will be a month before i get it back . And i miss it all ready so now i will start a applique quilt so i can have some thing to do .

Hi everyone
thanks for the kind mails I received

Have not been well, so no-one offended me!!! I think I probably overdid it when Hubby was off injured earlier in the year, and so have had a mini stress breakdown! Will get back on track soon, I hope, but for now I'm not really up to being my usual cheerful self lol. Have popped in once or twice, but just don't seem to be able to concentrate lately.

I'll be back, I promise ..... you lot just keep stitching and having fun!!

Hugs
Wookie

I love the cute RW Bunny designs that they put up on Sick today.... only problem is that they don't offer it in ART. Hey Shawn, is there anyway you could offer them in the ART format???

Hi! I have had several friends ask about the flower I have posted on my page. I think I git the design from SICK. It is listed as 3-D roses, I think. I made the one shown to look like a ROSE OF SHARON instead of a regulare rose. They have directions for FREE STANDING LACE. BUT, I didn't care for them. BEcause of all the thread used, they are heavy. So, I opted to use Nylon Tulle or ORganza and double Water Soluable Stabilizer. It taked several hooping with my machine. There are difeent layers to… Continue
