About Me

I have been quilting since the '70. Love anything that has to do with sewing. Now own HQ16 longarm and love it, I no longer have to tug a quilt through a machine. I did 15 years full time sewing-alteration, pressing and running a dept store's custom shirt factory for WB in KC, Mo. Been married now for over 33 years. We have adopted daughter Amy, 25 with severe autism and two older adult sons, (Husbands's) each with two children). Happy quilting to all in the coming year.

T-Shirt Quilt Question

Do you add interfacing and if so what weight to the T- knit piece? What other problems have you found? Do you quilt inside the knit piece? How large could the block be made, without problems.

Beautiful pictures and UFO

Looking at all the beautiful quilts posted makes me drool!

Sometimes I just get tired of the quilt I am making. This must be why I have three tops to finish, three big quilts tops and three charity quilts to quilt. That makes 9, oops I see three more UFO to finish.

O what beautiful quilting rooms pictured. If I give you a picture of mine, you will see baskets of- what else- fabric.

This week I finished the binding of two ten years old UFO quilt tops that I have been quilting on in the past tw… Continue

At 4:39am on November 9, 2009, Lynne said…: Linda,,, thank you so much for your comments on my quilts. Yes, a lot of them have been done by hand,,, but non by paper piecing. Have done it, but its not one of my favorite ways to piece quilts. My applique is done by needle turning, even the Hawaiian block.
I checked out your pictures and love them!! Nice job. I happened to notice you also did Pam Bono's "Old Bones" quilt. I have one on my web page, and actually made 2.
Thanks again Lynne

At 4:03pm on October 29, 2009, Navy Wife said…: That about the long arm was very helpful. I don't have room for one here, and I'm too lazy to spend a day or two at the quilt shop working on theirs. I miss my house in Memphis. I had a "formal" living room which was great for spreading out a quilt and basting. It wasn't used otherwise! Of course I can't get down on my knees for very long, so it wouldn't help anyway. Most of the time I love this house. It's smaller and easier to keep than the other one, but I miss the space sometimes. Maybe I can take it to the church and put tables together.
That sounds like a bad accident. I've been lucky all these years. Even driving in foreign countries I've only been in one accident, and that was 50 years ago.

At 6:18pm on October 28, 2009, Navy Wife said…: You have really had a rough time this year. Tell me more about your daughter. And the accident.
I wish I had a quilting machine other than my Pfaff. I am no good at machine quilting, though I haven't tried one of the big ones. Our LQS rents time on theirs, but I am on the road so much that I haven't had time to get started!
I'm working on a Thimbleberries that I started at least 6 years ago! Just have 2 more borders to go. Maybe I will get it finished this week. Just had e-mail from my daughter and she may have to have hysterectomy in the next 2 weeks. I'll go up to help her as she is alone. Divorced, and kids grown and living away. I don't mind too much as I get a rest stop at Hancocks in Paducah!

At 8:09am on October 28, 2009, Navy Wife said…: I'm glad I had the surgery. It has been hard to keep from using the hand more than I needed to, but I can already tell it's better than before.
After my uncle retired, they moved to Alpharetta where their sons were. He died in '88 I think. We moved to Thomasville when I was 10 and I grew up there, went to UGA, and married my Navy man!
Maryville is a great place to live except in October when we are covered with leaf viewers! We're about 15 miles south of Knoxville and 30 miles from Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.

At 6:15pm on October 27, 2009, Navy Wife said…: Hi Linda. We share more than painful hands. I'm Linda also. I was born in Atlanta and lived there till I was 10. My uncle lived in Mcdonough. He worked for Delta. My mother had 9 brothers and sisters and they all lived in the Atlanta area!
My hand problem is from having no cartilage around the thumb joint. Either I wore it out or arthritis ate it! Anyway, I wore a brace from last April till September so I could delay surgery. But I had the surgery the first week of Sept. He took out one bone and pulled tendons down to fasten the other 2 together. I'm actually amazed that I can still move. I have one more month in therapy and hope to be back to normal. At least the Dr and the PT say I will be.
Meanwhile the fabric piles up and I'll have to live to 150 to finish it all.
Have you lived in GA all your life? I still have a cousin and a granddaughter in Atlanta. We considered going back there when DH retired, but we had lived in TN so long, it felt like home. We moved from Memphis to the mountains and really love it. That was 17 years ago. I can't believe it!
What are you working on now? I'm trying to finish a baby quilt, but can't get much of the embroidery done at a time. That hurts worse than anything! Thank goodness it's just a few accents on each square...eyes and mouths. It's for a boy and has snails and puppies and a frog.

At 6:10pm on October 27, 2009, Its Vic! said…: Oh, good, I can really use the tips you left for me. I generally practice on some muslin to see what things work for me. Believe me, I am not interested in messing up this project. I have a Brother (4yrs old now) with lots of good things on it, the Model NX600, I believe. It has never given me a dime's worth of trouble. Is your brother on this site, too? Take care - I'm signing off for the night, talk to you soon.

At 10:37pm on October 25, 2009, Susan Miller said…: Hey Linda, Thank you so much for the details of the quilt. I just love how your put it together and the colors are great. It really inspired me to put one together for my GD, she is in love with pink. You do beuatiful work. I will be at the AQS show in DesMoines on Tued and Wed and I am planning to pick up enough pink to do the quilt. Thank you for sharing it with me. I will let you know if I get enough to get it done. I am sure I will. Chat later, Susan/IA

At 12:49pm on October 25, 2009, Jolene Torgler said…: Welcome, Linda!
I just saw your smiling face on here and thought I'd say, hey. Hope all is well with you down in "JoJuh"... my sister lived in Georgia for 12 years. I loved visiting her when she was there. I am originally from Des Moines, Iowa, and moved with my hubby and family down here to Overland Park, Kansas. We absolutely love the Kansas City area! Well, enough chat for now. Need to get some "piecing" and sewing done on my older brother's lap quilt.

At 3:09pm on October 23, 2009, Its Vic! said…: Hi Linda - So glad you found the KC Group interesting, we are a pretty new group. You certainly meet the requirements being such a long time resident in Independence and with family still here, too!
Love your photo quilts!
By the way, I always feel close to parents of children with autism because I worked with children with autism for twelve years. Presently laid off though.
I will look forward to reading your blog! Bye for now...
