Jackie Baker replied to Jackie Baker's discussion 2019 Batik Pineapple block swap in the group Swapping "FUN" is for Everyone"Hey Ladies, Just checking in to see how everyones pineapples are coming along. When you are ready to mail them to me message me and I will send you my address. "
Jean McCusker replied to Jackie Baker's discussion 2019 Batik Pineapple block swap in the group Swapping "FUN" is for Everyone" I understand the need to make progress on the UFOS. Hard choice. I.just couldn’t resist the pineapples."
Jean McCusker replied to Jackie Baker's discussion 2019 Batik Pineapple block swap in the group Swapping "FUN" is for Everyone"Thanks, Wilma. I thought it up and drew it. I have made crumb cake quilts before and used that technique for the pineapple’ fruit and then just added the leaves."
"Jean, these are so cute. Where did you find the pattern? I am still debating as I need to catch up. But I love pineapples...rather than a quilt I would like table runners, or a bed runner."

Anna Quilts replied to Jackie Baker's discussion St. Patrick day block swap - 12" block in the group Swapping "FUN" is for Everyone"Nice! I like the filler blocks you put in and how the blocks are on point. I just added the additional fabric to the border and the top is finally all the way completed. I need to find some green to make the backing and then cut the batting. I hope…"

Of course, in person you can spot that one of the backgrounds is on the wrong side of the fabric...I love white-on-white, but it tricks me sometimes. Still, I think it isn’t too much of a…"

bad Day
Posted on March 10, 2014 at 9:39pm 1 Comment 0 Likes
I am having such a bad day- I was in the middle of quilting one of my projects down and my sewing machine started making an awful noise. I tried everything I know to make it stop- I cleaned it out, changed my bobbin, re-threaded it, oiled it and it stopped making the yucky noise but now it keeps snapping my thread- AHHHHHH. So I decided to switch to my back up machine and it decided it doesn't want to work either. Why oh why are my machines misbehaving? I guess they will be going to the…

Jackie, Be careful,when cleaning machine,do not let a piece of thread or build up get stuffed back tight into tension.depending on machine,try toopen tension all the way and make sure the foot is up to not engage the tension disc. then suck out,not blow in the fuzz.I keep a small vac. just for this. stitchesbykathy@cox.net

Riana Noyes said… Jackie, we've all been there. Just use the down time to plan out your stitching on the quilts or organize your sewing space so when the machines are back you're good to go.

rogue quilter Queen of the WIVSP said… - i do too. looking forward to seeing your next quilt. i live vicariously, i guess, thru all of you here at MQP who finish and post soooo many beautiful quilts. i really do not understand how some can say they have made hundreds of quilts! even if they are counting quilted place mats and table runners. i am lucky to finish a few. but then, i remind myself, they are not doing in their daily lives, not even those w a job outside of home, all that i do with my piping, digging, painting, terraforming yadayadayada LOLLOL! but quilting has become my go to source of creative relaxation over the years. but i do wish i had more time to persue my quilting "wanna do's" .....
