Hi Jennifer. I am glad the baby doll quilts made it to you, they were a lot of fun to do. I'm not sure where I got the fabric, I was going through my stash and that fabric just seemed perfect for doll quilts. Now I just need another project or two to use the rest of the fabric on.LOL I did make the labels, an experiment really as they are the first I have made, but I like the way they rurned out.

Hi Jennifer,
I'm so glad it is working for you. I took a course to repair mechanical machines in November of 2011. I wanted to be able to repair my machines myself. So far, I have fixed my daughter's white featherweight which needed to be taken apart not only underneath where someone had gotten the thread tangled, but also the tension knob. After I fixed hers, my sister had me put on a new belt and check out her white featherweight. My mom, who is 82, decided she wanted a featherweight. I found one and did all the repairs on it. I own three featherweights: black, white, and tan. I did all the repairs on those. So, I guess the course that I took has paid for itself.
P.S. I have 24 sewing machines. The only ones I can't repair are the computerized ones. I actually like sewing on the older machines better.

Linda Hubalek said… You'll love your kindle for reading! I've read more books in the last year on my Kindle...than I have for the last decade... it's so easy to start a series, or an author's work and keep reading until you finish with it. Then jump on to something else recommended.
Enjoy Butter in the Well, and keep reading!

- Hi Jennifer! I was reading about baby doll quilts. I think I would like to do that! I have no little girls but you could donate mine. It will be fun. I'm new to quilting so it might be a little amateur, but a little girl maybe won't mind! Please count me in and send me the rules. This is a great site. Even tho I have trouble sometimes navigating around between groups, members, blogs, activities, etc! Love hearing soon. Cheers, Frances
