susanh39 Wow...that's harsh. I am so sorry you've been hurt by men... There are very good ones out there. A few still even have a backbone, really.

My Momma has hand quilted for years and her quilts are absolutely stunning. However, I have tried hand quilting and it just isn't my thing. I am experimenting with machine quilting now. Even though I agree that hand quilting adds...

When you quilt do you buy the fat quarters, go and buy a specific number of meters? Or do you use "Scraps" or left overs? I'm one that uses Scraps, leftovers, I take apart old clothes (especially pants) and buy metered fabric...

susanh39 There is a fabric line now that has reproduced many of the patterns that might have been used on feed sacks years ago. The fabrics are really sweet! Any quality quilt shop would probably carry them. :)

My absolute best deal was a barely worn pair of hiking boots I'd been wanting for a long time. I only paid $3.00 for them. What was your best deal? What type of item was it and how much did you pay?

susanh39 WOW! Did you sell it? Or did you simply enjoy having it?

susanh39 You are so sweet to say so! I used different colors, but found the general pattern in one of my quilting books and fell in love with it. Thank you for your kind words. :)

susanh39 It is so sweet for you to say! I didn't think I could ever sew a quilt top, but one day I just had to try. My first attempts were...well...interesting. LOL Thank you for your kind response! :)

I have this beautiful fabric panel that I'd like to machine quilt and then use as a wall hanging. Has anyone used the monofilament or clear thread for machine quilting? Did you like the effect? I've included a picture of the panel...

susanh39 Thank you for the idea of the silver metallic thread! I wouldn't have thought of that. I just ordered the walking foot for my machine, so hopefully I'll get my wall hanging done soon. :)

susanh39 What a beautiful quilt! I've always wanted to try the modified log cabin. Would you be willing to share dimensions with me? If you have them handy. :) Thank you for sharing your photo with me. I find I'm always inspired by others' quilts! :)

susanh39 Awww...you're very sweet. I will tell them. :) Yes, notes and letters are different. My notes are usually a simple card or one piece of stationary that I write maybe a few short lines. Letters, in my opinion, are much more detailed and lengthy and require...

susanh39 Yes, I see now what you mean. Well, it's the high calorie counts of each item. The nachos, buffalo wings, and cheese fries each contain almost 2x the caloric count advised for an entire day! The other items pack a whopping 500 to 800 calories in just one...

When she left you since birth, didn't care to leave any reason as to why and never did try to find you? just a thought. Can you forgive your mother?

susanh39 Why do people see birth mothers as having a fault for allowing their child to have a life they cannot give them? That seems so harsh to me...but then I know my full story on both sides and maybe that is why my heart is tender toward my birth mom. To...

susanh39 Well...see...I was fine before she contacted me for the most part. I have incredible parents and a terrific brother who have loved me my whole life (and still do!). It wasn't a mistake for my birth mom to relinquish me. On the contrary. I am sooo glad she gave...

susanh39 You're probably right about breakfast foods being too fatty to eat at night. But, sometimes they just hit the spot. Thanks for sharing with us!

susanh39 Yes, it does break up the routine. I used to make whole wheat pancakes for myself at night, but no one else in my family ate them, so I just quit doing it. It was really too much work for just me.
