I am probably in a little trouble with the flannel quilt I made, it has been assembled-- all but the outer border. I didn't pre-wash the flannel, because the ladies at the quilt shop, where I bought…Continue

I am using some of the clear thread for quilting and the thread keeps breaking. It is so frustrating. What am I doing wrong? My machine has an auto tension so I am asuming that is correct. What…Continue

Hi Janie, you live in a nice part of Michigan. My husband used to fish the Pere Marquette for trout. We thought about buying retirement property up there, and actually made an offer, but couldn't come to terms with the seller. Glad to meet you here on MQP.
Hi Janie~thanks for adding me as a friend. I haven't been here much these past few days; I'm still going through a rough time and I'm sick on top of it. I hope you're doing well!
hi janie...nice to meet you on your handyman discussion...now i will say it here...hello and very happy to meet you. now we need more pics ... and on your crazy quilt...i noticed that you used the decorative stitches from your machine on the seam lines....it is really wonderful quilt to look at.
Thank you Janie. I have been collecting fabric and anything else that has anything to do with sewing since 1991. I also worked at one time for Fabric King. You can imagine where my paycheck went. LOL
Your scrappy quilt is wonderful! Love, love, love it! You did such a nice job lining up the darks and lights to make that pattern. I would have just tossed on those in there and said "DONE!". :) How do you bind? Hand? Machine? Both?
Happy birthday, Janie~I hope you have a wonderful day!
Welcome Quilter Friend!
Just wanted to pop in to say “hello” and introduce myself. I’m Linda Hubalek, fellow quilter and author from Kansas. Books about pioneer women are my specialty, with a cooking or a quilting theme mixed into each historical fiction series.
My Trail of Thread historical fiction book series, written in the form of letters sent back home, describes my ancestors’ wagon trail journey and homesteading in Kansas. Each book mentions twelve old-time quilt patterns, and I put drawings of them in the back of the books.
So if you like to read—besides quilting—please enjoy my blog and book excerpts on my website. Besides printed as paperbacks, my ten books are also available for your Kindle or Nook. (Good choice for Christmas gifts, or yourself, because the ebooks are on sale now!)
I have about a dozen quilts made by my great grandmother, (that we used all the time when I was a kid) so I’m into antique quilts and patterns. What kind of quilts and patterns do you like to work with?
Have a blessed Thanksgiving weekend!
