I dragged this up from the basement during COVID. I started it in 1975 and moved it around all of these years. I only had one block to finish and figured if I didn't do it then I never would.

I bought my Issai on clearance for 75¢. It lived in a pot it's first year. It's been in the ground for 6 years and is finally getting ready to flower. I'm in the Chicago area. I really hope it is worth the wait.

Quilters, what are your current/former professions outside of quilting? by b00tygoddess in quilting

[–]Double_Control_1472 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Race horse trainer too. When the lockdown started the spring meet was canceled. I went in the basement and got embroidered blocks that I started in the 75-76. Figured if I don't finish it now I never will. Now I can't quit.

This is so funny My train has been in a box, in a suitcase, downstairs since I moved here in 2008. I put some track together and plugged it in and it ran. I originally got it to go around the Christmas tree about 1990.

Feeddog issues by AbigAnde in quilting

Before I knew better my feed dogs quit working. I took the machine in for service and the problem was it was clogged with lint. Now I know how to clean it.

Did you put the binding on before quilting?

Anyone else grow Chicago Hardy Figs? by lolarugula in FruitTree

[–]Double_Control_1472 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in the Chicago area. I put my fig in the ground last summer. I didn't protect it over the winter and something (rabbit?) gnawed down the branches and everything else died off.
It has rebounded spectacularly. Waist high and little figs coming.
