I'm not much for handwork, either. I love the landscape quilts I've seen but I'm not that artistic and I just don't have the time. I always have more ideas than time - can't believe how fast Chritmas comes around!

Hi Irene,

We make the booties out of 330 denier Cordura, it is similar to a light weight backpack fabric. We use hook Velcro and a stretch loop Velcro called Velstretch. Arrowhead Fabric out of Duluth, MN has shared their dog bootie patterns with our group and give us a discount on materials. They make dog booties for commercial sale.

I am so happy I found this site. I have been sewing since I was 8 years old.One Grandma taught me on her treadle machine and the other one showed me how to do handwork. I made most of my kids' clothes as they were growing, including bridesmaid and flowergirl dresses. I have 6 daughters and 2 sons. The daughter who is the vet in Belgrade is a wonderful seamstress and she also spins. She makes her 2 little ones' powwow outfits ( her husband is Native American ). I have a Babylock Ellisimo sewing, embroidery machine and a BL serger. I've made dog booties for Lance Mackey the last three years and donate them to him - 1600+ this year, are in the works.

I will be anxious to find out how much you like your tin lizzie. I told my husband if he bought a motorcycle I'd get a LA so fast it would make his head spin. No motorcycle yet, not that he doesn't have toys. He has the usual guns, tools, ATV and snowmobile. He sold the plane he buildt, but is thinking of building another one. Can't complain about the planes though because he has always made $20,000 on them when he sells.

I bought the book, but haven't started. I'm hoping to finished some things up before I start something new. LOL famous last words. I just made new fall wall hangings for my entry and dining areas. Then with the scraps made placemats, and with the scraps from that coasters.

My father-in-law always wanted to live in Montana. I've only driven through it on trips back to Minn when my husband was stationed in Idaho. I need to take some pics of my newest quilts I have hung up for fall, but I keep putting it off. Thanks for wanting to be my friend.

Hi Irene---sorry it takes me so long to get anything out on this puter. I am happy to know you are going the longarm route. I am sure the price has gone down on whatever they are going out of business with. You can get some good buys, if one isn't so impatient. And it does help to have some idea as to what you want. As for myself, I guess I am grobbing in the dark most of lthe time. Yet. I am always looking for the best, but not able to pay a big price. The reason for me getting a different frame, etc. was because I wanted a bigger set up. Something that I can do in a short time. Am, I impatient? YES. I started quilting just a few years ago, (late in my life), so I want to do it the fastest way possible. I sure doin't ever do a prefect quilt, but in my book, the only one on this earth, that could ever make a prefect quilt, was God. A few years ago, I got a blue ribbon at the county fair on one of my quilts. Not so bad, huh? Good lluck on your new purchase. By the way, Tin Lizzie recommends the #5 Superior "So Fine" thread. I get the cone type, which is 3,280 yds, the polyester. It does not break, nor does it leave alot of lint. I can get it for about $12. I think you can go in on the web site...one that John Fylnn has, he sells it for less than the other sites. I was using the Essential thread or the Coats & Clark, (cotton) but I had so much trouble with the thread breaking all the time. Maybe it was my tenson, that I am not an expert at neither. If I can help you in any way, please let me know.

Thanks Irene for requesting me to be your friend. I am thrilled and honoured. I love Sudoku too.

I'd sure grab if I could...Have you experienced long arm quilting?
It's a great way to go! I had a Gammill Homecraft and sold it-outgrew it, and I do all my quilitng on my Bernina now, which is OK. I'd like to have the Gammill Classic Plus-one day, if I invest in a long arm machine, at all. My Bernina suits my purposes for now, though.
Hope it works out for you..
Happy quilting!
Gwen
