Well, my Brother sewing machine is having a temper tantrum. Unfortunately, one screw on the plate is so stuck that I can't take the plate off to give it a proper cleaning. I did manage (using tweezers) to take out threads that were stuck. The needle started working again, but the machine sucks the fabric … Continue reading New & New To Me

A while back, I made a flannel quilt top for my husband. I had been promising him a blanket (quilt, crochet or knit) for so long, and this year I finally did it. I used Maywood Studio's Woolies Flannel Neutral 2.5" strips, which I purchased from Missouri Star Quilt Co. The pattern is a simple … Continue reading Flannel Quilt
