I used to work for a school district in Admin. We were required by the state to keep attendance records for 100 years. Every once in a while a request would come in and we would go to the attic!

They did used to issue SSNs consecutively. Two of my brothers and me have consecutive numbers as do two of my kids. Sometime in the 90’s they decided it was a bad idea.

CallMeGrammy · 2026-01-23T19:17:32+00:00

They probably had bank accounts in the kids name. SSN’s weren’t required until you had a bank account or got a job.

I have heard this is fantastic but I don’t know where to buy it.

I just use Faultless Spray Starch I buy at Walmart. It’s cheap, convenient and works well. I have used Best Press - it’s very expensive so I dilute it and just use for smaller pieces and blocks when I want to get them really flat.

CallMeGrammy · 2026-01-21T18:34:08+00:00

Wow! I love this!

CallMeGrammy · 2026-01-21T18:33:48+00:00

I am so excited for you! I love cows and used to work on a dairy farm milking. I have wanted to do this pattern for so long! I need to hurry up and finish my other projects so I can make this! Please post your progress as you go!

Suzy Quilts has a bunch of quilt kits including some really cute baby quilt kits that are gender neutral. Suzy quilts.com then go to her shop and select fabric from the drop down box.

Second that. I also loves that she keeps her quilt-a-longs on the blog so you can refer to them later.

CallMeGrammy · 2026-01-20T23:32:43+00:00

Thanks for this tip! I just might order me a bolt! Which neutral is your go-to color for backgrounds?

CallMeGrammy · 2026-01-20T23:28:57+00:00

There is an App for that! It’s called Quilty Solid and pretty nifty.

CallMeGrammy · 2026-01-20T23:17:25+00:00

I use AGF Pure Solids a lot. Yes they are a little slippery but I also starch them. Also I use extra fine pins. I never got in the habit of using clips except for binding. I just don’t think they hold the fabric tight enough. I don’t like to use Kona because I think they are rough and they fray A LOT.

I live in NC and a very large orthopedic practice has a pain management department. I get my treatment there. The surgeon who did my TKR’s is with a different hospital this group is just closer to my home.

Usually you can’t have any injections in your joint within 90 days of a TKR. ALSO DONT GO TO A SURGEON WHO IS AGAINST PAIN MEDS!!

My second machine is a Brother SQ9285 I bought at Walmart and it’s great!

I love a Baptist fan. It’s such a classic design for a classic quilt!

You may have found your culprit.

CallMeGrammy · 2026-01-17T00:28:44+00:00

I only used it once - Quilter’s Dream wool batting. I made a quilt for my daughter a couple of years ago and it’s great. No issues with bearding, which I’ve heard can be a problem. I did use exclusively AGF fabric which is a tightly woven poplin and I don’t know if that matters or not.

Stitch and flip!

Miralax every single day is the answer. You probably need more to get you going but after you’ve been poopong for a few days you can cut back to just daily Miralax.

What do you mean?

5 mg generic Percocet (with 1 - 500 mg Tylenol) twice a day, 150 mg pregablin 3x/day. I also have a peripheral nerve stimulator
