Look Who’s Home
Yes, my Diva Bernina 740 is back from her two month vacation in Illinois. She was shipped back to the Bernina headquarters where the master technicians could work their magic and fix her up. The last time I used her I was sewing through two layers of quilting cotton and using no pins and suddenly…

Eva DIY Christmas Gifts
I can't even tell you the hours Eva and I spent making these little charms. Two days at least. I am not sure how we got the idea that we wanted to make little polymer clay charms, but YouTube videos by a sweet Australian girl named Creative Rachy factored into it big time. …

Use It Up
I think my motto for 2018 should be "Use It Up". We had a great discussion about saving scraps yesterday, and I thank all of you who weighed in with what size scraps you save. It has really given me something to think about. Many of us have scrap bins it seems, but not all…

Katie, a nice reader of this blog, contacted me over the weekend, and raised such an interesting question about scraps. We'd love to know your "Scrap Policy" and hope you will take the time to comment and share what types of scraps you bother to save. There are so many amazing quilts that can be…
