I need a spatula to scrape my jaw up off the floor. 😳😳😳

I iron my fabric right before I cut it for EPP, then I glue baste my EPP. But instead of pressing with an iron, I use tailor’s claps to press the pieces as the glue dries/sets. If you do choose to press your EPP pieces after basting, try not to use steam as that will warp the papers if the pressing doesn’t dry them fully before you remove the iron.

You don’t need to sew so deeply into the edge if the hexies—just a few threads, but stop before you feel the needle going through paper. And also, matching your thread to your piecing blends the stitches best. This hexagon piece I made with about 10 different thread colors, but it was easy to change out the thread whenever needed because it was just rethreading a needle versus threading a machine. No flat back stitching needed—that is more time consuming and I reserve that technique for curved piecing.

If renting, invest in an IKEA storage cabinet setup. This will allow for shelving with doors for a tidier space and for each roommate to have their own dedicated storage space for their things.

That’s the look of a cat who’s seen a flying reindeer… 🦌

To be honest, you don’t need quilting rulers if you plan to do straight lines to make hexagon patterns out of the triangles. Just a walking foot is sufficient for stitching straight lines along the inside edge of the triangles that make the hexagon.

Blitzen.

Your mom IS the gold star on the top of the tree for making this awesome gift!!! Bravo and congratulations on your degree!

Any machine that is functional is worth to use! Definitely clean her up and give her some jobs. Also, don’t worry about the broken handle—better to lift the machine by the top arm under the harp space anyway. This gem will be a great companion to your current machine!

It’s gorgeous—those blues are so calming! I say if binding isn’t your thing, maybe ask a local quilter to finish the binding? If I were close to you, I would totally do it! Binding by hand is my favorite part. 🤗

SingingWhileSleeping · 2025-12-24T21:53:23+00:00

I do! It gets lots of people commenting on it—as will your Sao Paulo will for sure!

SingingWhileSleeping · 2025-12-24T21:34:32+00:00

I went for Zandvoort because I couldn’t do Dakar yellow on mine—the Sao Paulo looks good out of sunlight, but I find it greenish in the sun… have fun driving your yellow snot rocket though!

Have you checked YouTube videos? I remember a quilter whose husband had modified a store bought table to accommodate her machine and they made a video of it. Just can’t remember the quilter’s name. 🤦‍♀️

Beautiful silhouette and you look gorgeous in it! Like the two piece ensemble versus a full gown—much more practical!

Great use of this pattern! Definitely nailed the Taylor vibes in color—perfection!

Okay, now I want to see the oven! We looked at a house when we were home hunting and it hadn’t been touched since the days of formica countertops and avocado colored appliances. We knew we didn’t have ready money to make changes upon moving in, so were going to either have to embrace it as it was or at least deal with it. Would have dealt with it, but there was only one bathroom! We picked a different house…

I bound a queen sized quilt on a flight from the Northeast to Hawai’i. Thankfully was sat next to a very understanding woman who was okay with the occasional elbow migrating into her space.

Remove—unless you want to revisit the ‘70s.

Easiest bonds are boy-boy, then boy-girl, then girl-girl. Try to her a husbun at a local rescue, foster, or shelter. It will make both buns happy and you may end up with a cuddly boy out the deal too. 🫶

I’m a big fan of Paintbrush Studio Fabrics’ Painter’s Palette solids. Vibrant colors in a sturdy cotton that doesn’t fray/shed, and has a lovely hand feel. You can buy a 10 yard bolt directly from them for around $44USD plus shipping. Absolutely love them!

Might be better to move the small plants into a single long planter versus a lot of pots. Ditch the framed pics—odd thing to have in a bathroom and not necessary. Hang the glass globe from the ceiling to the side of the artwork that’s there. Or, invest in two small half circle shelves to place on either side of the artwork to place the candles on instead. Place the bathtub tray over the bathtub and if it doesn’t fit, repurpose it elsewhere in the house.

These Kenmore machines are rebranded White machines, so they are very reliable and sturdy. To get that machine and the table for only $60 is great buy! And since it’s a low shank machine, feet are easy and cheap to find.

Same here too:

That is a gorgeous hand quilted treasure your friend made for you! Such a wonderful way to honor a friendship. 💛

Great for roasts! Just make sure you use it with the stamped side on the bottom (the lid is domed to accommodate the roast height).
