Paula Coleman/KS - "Sew Silly"'s Page

Hearing quilt and bus trips in same sentence just sets off the fabric glands in my body, wanting to hop bus and head USA-North Dakota for few days.

Since, passport and my financial situation changed not able to spend 2nights and shopping frenzy as I did years ago.

Hi Paula,

I too have an HQ16 that I dearly love, but have had issues with the table which included the tracks.  I was so glad to see your hubby's solution to the problem, and would have never thought of that.  If you could email me a photo of your tracks I would appreciate seeing how he did it. My email is cottonwoodquilter@gmail.com

thanks in advance!

I was doing a search for that pattern....is it the scrappy squares with stars all around the outside?  If so, that looks like a nice quilt.  It looks like a good way to use up some stash/FQs!  If you want to do a shop hop, don't spend money on a bus...we can go together and enjoy it more....or at least that's my thought.  We can look at it when it gets closer to that time. 

Good Morning Paula,  I came up with the table runner because I wanted to teach the 10 min. block at guild.  Since it only required 3 blocks they had a better chance of finishing it. They fell in love with the block and their project. 

Hi Paula, I just let a message on your main page post.  I enjoyed reading your profile.  I share your love of fabric, much to my husband's dismay.  :)  

I'd love to have a long-arm, but can't justify the cost since I don't necessarily want to make it a business.  Space is also an issue.  I have been looking into the mid-arm machines, though.  I might be able to make that work.  When I think of the many tops I have waiting to be quilted, I sure think it would be nice to have my own machine.  

I wanted to take that tour of shops, but we had just returned from vacation and I just did not have the energy to do it.  Plus it's not much fun to go by yourself....soooooo.....next time you can drive down here and we can go together!  I would be happy to drive!  Plus when you go without a bus load, you can spend more time shopping if you want to....or leave sooner than they do if you want to!  I got some of the specially designed fabric from last year.....will do my own sampler sometime with that.  What pattern did you get for your bed quilt?  What colors/fabrics are you interested in for that?  I have never been to Severy....but I love a couple of the ones in Wichita....especially Hen Feathers and Grandma's Calico Cupboard. 

Yeah, that fabric shop is still in the outlet mall....but I like her shop downtown much better.  I love the new second saturday BOM we started!  Let me know when you come down! 

Awww thank you very much for the nice compliments Paula!  I see you are from Topeka!  Do you ever get down here to Newton or Wichita area?  I would love to meet you in person sometime....lunch or something? 

Thank you for the comments on my Old Glory quilt.
