Several years ago Melanie, Elizabeth Rosenberg and I met for lunch. We ended up laughing so hard and so much that we annoyed the family at the next table.

We get by with a little help from our friends
A friend moved over the weekend. And I helped. Oh if only my brain could recall the commercial where the kid says, "And I helped"! She's a bit further away, but closer to another friend of ours.

I always talk to my students about speed, that a good even, medium speed will… Continue reading It bears repeating…I love teaching machine quilting!!
