Wonder what the heck? I do. So, I'm not sure if you know that the City Quilter is closing in October (as of yet there is no final date). Dale and Cathy are ready to retire. While it's hard to see another quilt shop close, leaving a huge hole in the NY Quilting Landscape, I'm… Continue reading Did you ever?

Lighting a Candle
In the current issue of Generation Q Magazine there's an article on the care and feeding of your sewing machine. I have to admit to getting a little excited sharing this information with people. A little care for our machines goes a really long way. So this evening when my machine started misbehaving I… Continue reading Lighting a Candle

My friends from the Pelham Quilters participated in the first of two Test Drives. We had fun ripping it up...get it? ripping it up? The… Continue reading Seam Rippers

A blog of blogs
I am a blog reader. When I open WordPress in the morning the Reader is there showing me who's recently posted, allowing me to comment, like, or move on. It is mostly quilt related, though I have a travel blog I read because she's a good writer and she commented on my blog a long… Continue reading A blog of blogs

Attending the reunion/retreat is always a great joy meeting other ambassadors, learning what they do and the wide variety of work they're involved in. We're not all quilters!… Continue reading Monday Morning Quickie

Village Fabric Shoppe
On a chilly Saturday morning I packed quilts, Jeannie (B 790) and myself into the car and headed off to the Village Fabric Shop in Red Hook, NY. The Hudson Valley, rich in history and beauty, feels so much like home, it's always a pleasure to have an excuse to go there. Really I don't… Continue reading Village Fabric Shoppe

It all started when
So, a few weeks ago I brought Jeannie, my BERNINA 790 home with me. BERNINA clearly tweaked a couple of things, the position of the bobbin, made the tension more responsive, and added some seriously cool features, like the stitch designer. The feature of the day "Adaptive Tension". As a quilter I'm accustomed to changing the tension… Continue reading It all started when

Guest Blogger: Sara Snuggerud – Do Sergers Scare You?
I met Sara a couple of years ago at BERNINA University. In between classes Sara shot video and interviewed a variety of VIP's (very interesting people) for her YouTube channel (see links below). What I didn't know, and have high regard for, is her serger prowess. Having learned how to, and taught serger threading I'm in… Continue reading Guest Blogger: Sara Snuggerud – Do Sergers Scare You?

She has a name!
Jeannie it is! We've had some fun stitching this weekend. This is the back. Yes, it is Dupioni Silk. Yes, that is some seriously tiny stitching. On the top I'm using Superior Tiara 50 wt, variegated silk thread. In the bobbin it's Superior Kimono 100 wt silk. I love quilting. I love teaching too, so… Continue reading She has a name!
