Re: Book Giveaway: "Dreaming in Color"
I first knew Kaffe Fassett from his quilts. He really knows his colors.

Since I'm pretty vintage myself, I'd love to have a book about the patterns.

I appliqued a pony on a green field and blue sky for a great granddaughter. Her mom loved it.

Like a lot of quilters, I started out with the intention of using up 40 years of scraps. I'm still trying

This year I'm making a couple of granddaughters pajamas from cute flannel I've had for a long time. And a grandson is getting a quilt it took forever to finish.

I have an old Bernina, but it is still humming along. Would love a bag

It's too hot to sew, so a mystery so a mystery about it would be great.

Re: Book Giveaway: "Power Sewing Toolbox 1 and 2" by Sandra Betzina
I could really use these books even though one of my sewing daughters would probably borrow them before I could crack them open.

Serger Secrets? I could use that. Along with most eerything else.

I've had to get rid of most of my old sewing mags and books. This would be wonderful.
posted: 5:14 pm on October 16thRe: BOOK GIVEAWAY: A Guide to Fashion Sewing
I sew by reading the instructions on the pattern sheet. It would be great to have a real reference book.
posted: 6:23 pm on August 3rdRe: Book Giveaway: "Threads Sewing Guide"
What a great book! After 40 years of trial and error sewing, I've never had a real reference book.

Designers? I like them all-even the far out ones. I have a year to make a wedding dress for a grandaughter so I need all the help I can get.
posted: 4:41 pm on April 12thRe: Book Giveaway: "1,000 Clever Sewing Shortcuts & Tips"
Every year I get a small calendar I keep in my sewing desk. I sew for me, family, pets and friends. Clothes, quilts, pillows, mending. Every time I finish a project, I note it on the calendar. My sewing goes in fits and starts so when it seems as though I have accomplished very little, I can look back and see that I actually did quite a bit. Even if it was mending a pair of jeans. Which I'm pretty good at.

I'm teaching my 8 year old grandaughter to sew and she's a whiz but it is harder than I thought. After years of doing things my own way, it would be better if it was the right way.

From someone who believes the last great designer was Levi Strauss, I have to say I love watching Project Runway.
posted: 7:05 pm on November 7thFrom the Oh My Gosh- how did they do that?! to the train wrecks. It is amazing to me to see the engenuity and creativity of the designers in such a short time. The judging is a mystery to me but who am I? It's a competition, a reality show and a soap opera. As long as I can appreciate it for what it is, I'll keep on watching.
