Love your creativeness! Since I got my new machine in November 2011, I have been sewing madly. My darling hubby bought it for me as I haven't had one for nearly 5 years. ( My other one crashed ). Keep up the good work. I love your blog!

I have just made two quilts to auction off at our school, and had a terrible time just stitching in the ditch with my machine - The fabric kept slipping around so much!

How funny to think of you canning, just like I do. I hate the word verification thing! Most of the time, it voids the Open ID people, too. Thank you for finding a way to keep it off!

I turned mine off and thankfully haven't gotten any spam. I didn't know that no-reply commenters are blocked if they're anonymous, so thanks for that information. I'm glad you're FMQing as I'm a big proponent of that. In fact, I have three pin-basted quilts just waiting for me. The tough part is always choosing the quilting design, but it looks like you've got that mastered! Well done! Congrats on being published again.

Your photo book is LOVELY, what a neat idea, I've tried my hand at scrapbooking [very minimal, just sorting by year and putting in a book] and it's a pain. That, I could do.<br /><br />LOVE the little bags and trivets! So very sweet! And your plums look amazing, they win a prize in my book! <br /><br />I too choose to quilt by hand rather than wrestle with FMQ - but Val, look how wonderful that turned out! You give me hope!

Your plums look gorgeous, great colour. FMQ is such a scary subject, I'm determined to get at least basic skills in it this year but it's very slow going so far.

I could never attempt anything like that. Stippling is about as far as I can get, then sometimes my sewing machine plays up!! Did you use a darning foot for the petals and the lovely cable on the borders? Never quite sure about that, which probably explains why I haven't attempted it!
