I am wrestling with a problem, and would like feedback here. I do a lot of work with the local senior center to help them out, since I think they are a great part of our community. I am also a part of their sewing/quilting club. The club members put tog
Dear Cute Family, Recently I've read a rising number of tart or snippy responses to questions or comments. This is sad, because this site is so very nice, and so are the people who visit. I want to remind you that sometimes things written quickly ca
WARNING!! This may have been posted before, but I want to reinforce it. When you rinse out the water soluble stabilizer (WSS) from your projects, be sure to use a bowl or container other than your sink. Then pour the water outside rather than down the
About 30 years ago, I bought a "grab bag" of sewing notions from a store that was going out of business. There was one thing in there that puzzled me, and so I just tossed it in my sewing basket. Well, it is still sitting there and I haven't the fogg

I was searching for something today and ran across an ad on one of my more favorite sites, and this piqued my interest. Has anyone tried the Creative Feet, and if so, do you recommend the set or not? The second link is the owner of the Creative Feet
What would you say is the BEST gift you have ever made? For any reason? It doesn't have to be the one you worked the hardest on, but the one you felt best about. For me, I made all of my nieces matching nightgowns out of pretty long underwear type f
Can someone tell me how the first design of this set is used? I'm intrigued. Thank you.

Dear Cuties, The time has come where I need to move in order to be able to keep my husband at home (he has Alzheimer's). Our current house has lots of stairs, both inside and out. He is falling a lot; this is just one of the reasons I need to find a
