Thread Therapy
How much do you know about thread? Can you decipher the numbers on threads and needles? Which thread is better for piecing, or garment sewing, or quilting? Do you understand which thread is best for different machines? Can you use the same thread for different applications? I admit, I have done so, and didn't always …
Basket UFO Finished
Thanks to everyone that commented with suggestions on how to finish off this Basket Quilt UFO. I had a deadline, and I actually made the deadline. I almost forgot to show it at the meeting because I had so much more on my mind that day. Several key members couldn't be there, and I was …
A Chicken Project

We started with some 4-1/2 inch squares, felt beaks …

Table Stand Quilt – White on White
I got a table quilt stand last year, specifically to display my Miniature Mariner's Compass. Problem though, the quilt is too small, or is it the frame is too big? Either way it isn't going to work, so I needed to make something else. I have decided to do a series of quilts for it, …
