Question of the Week

Articles

Written by Deb Levy

Welcome to a new week. Can you believe it's going to be Thanksgiving this week? I am so not ready for the holidays, but that's nothing new

As I have been enjoying my new design wall the last couple weeks, I thought I'd get the question this week from that. So there will be two questions this week.

#1 What do you use (if anything) as your design wall? (and a photo would be nice)

#2 Are you ready for the Holidays?

Hope you'll join us in the forum for the discussion. Have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving!

The "P" word

Our world is full of people wanting shortcuts. We want to have everything and we don't want to wait -- we want what we want and we want it right now. The situation with the US financial system is certainly indicative of that...but I'm not here to talk about such an unpleasant topic!!

As quilters we are no different -- we want to produce beautiful quilting and we want to do it yesterday. Now, I'll grant you that there are some prodigies in the machine quilting world, but those prodigies are pretty few and far between. The rest of us have to work at our craft, and what may look effortless is actually the result of many long years of hard work.

Practice might be spelled with 8 letters, but I'm sure many people consider it a "4-letter" word -- one that you'd rather not hear in your house and try to use as little as possible. I'm here to tell you, though, that this particular "P" word and several of its friends are not as horrible as you might think, and I'd like to give you some tips and ideas about how to effectively practice.
