Support Stem Cell Research
In an instant lives are changed forever, with Stem Cell Research we can turn back time. It's too late for us, but there are millions of others that need this. Do your own research, make up your own mind, don't depend on what others say, and imagine your life in a wheelchair full of pain with no hope of ever dancing again.
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

You've got questions, I've got answers

Corgihouse/Gwen: I don't think stabilizer is the answer, I think it's getting "hung up" on all the "stuff" inside the waistband right there. Like the top of the zipper and the seam allowances. Hummm, maybe it WOULD help the fabric not slip against the feed dogs so it would feed right (I should type out my thoughts more often). Be more grippy? I have some tear-away and some wash-away. I'll see which has the most texture and give it one more try. Unless I think I can make the last one work (they're in the timeout corner right now.) These are a nice summer weight black (yeah, poly, but for work who cares?) and I'm dying to use the blind hem stitch.

The quilt link is here . It's referred to as a Rail Fence. On the page I linked is the link for the download in pdf form. It took about a minute for the email with the attachment to land in my in-box. And it was a very good instructional guide. There are a number of freebies from this site, actually. I just picked this one because it fit all my criteria. Oh, and one more I forgot: (5) not too country looking like chickens or farmhouses (I think I was up to #5).

I, of course, did NOT have time to go to Hancock's last night. I left in time, but then put dinner on, fed and walked the dog, then I decided to do some BWOF tracing and browsing. Next project is still a little up in the air so I magazine shopped. Perhaps tonight.... Last chance. Tomorrow we're having the carpet cleaned (thank you Kacy), Thursday I have to be at another office with a longer commute and that brings me to Friday morning - a good chance there. My MIL is coming to visit for the weekend, though so I won't get much done. This is her first time in DC, so we'll be doing the tourist stuff. And I'm taking my "New Owners class" on Sunday afternoon.
Bored yet? This ought to wake you up and leave you with a disturbed mind image. You're welcome.

  1. Yikes what a bad dress. Size 40D eyeballs,complete with eyelashes is not what I want to have in my mind today. :-) Plus there's that tummy shadow. How depressing that her tummy is flat yet shows so prominently in that satin. Note to self: no stretch satin below the waist.
