Threads is so absolutely gorgeous besides informative. Who wouldn't want anything to come off those presses? It's where I go for my education these days.

If it involves fitting, I check out. I would love to learn the right way. The last lesson I had was in 8th grade, a very, very long time ago!

I need to learn to let go! What a great idea.

I love to baste--really just love the results. A bit of embroidery can be fun, and I most often do a hand hem. I feel like there is so much more to learn!

Beenquilting over 20 years now and to pick a favorite is difficult. Proudest of my Baltimore Album, but I like so many!

The Fiber Arts Center of the Eastern Shore (MD) has recently opened. It's small and working from grants. Located in Denton, MD, it draws from Maryland's Eastern Shore and the state of Delaware. It opened over the summer with a show of the quilts of Elly Sienkiewicz, done in the Baltimore Album style. The last show I noticed was a quilt display of red and white miniatures and small quilts inspired by the show in NY. Hope this is what you are looking for.

I would tell them to take classes, lessons, whatever they could do. Actually seeing a demonstration, or great photography, is so helpful. Take your time when sewing. It does not have to be a race.

Been to NY and I'll probably never see Paris or Milan, but I spent hous at Keepsake Quilting in NH. The ride through the mountains is wonderful and one of the largest attractions in town is the setting for "On Golden Pond." Not exciting you say. No, just warm and loving, full of those bubbling things that make one apreciate America.

With all the work Threads has done in articles about clothing our real bodies, I am hopeful that you as a sewing leader can vocalize that rudeness to anyone is always unacceptable. What respect and admiration I had for his garments has paled considerably in the light of his behavior. The sooner that he is gone from the show, the better.

This would be wonderful--not just for me but I'm thinking as a guild treat for someone!

Would love to read these! Great game.
