Hi Jane, I had one of these in the ‘free’ pack that came with my new Sewing machine. I hadn’t a clue what it was for (it didn’t have a label) but it looked as if it would take the bobbins. It is a brilliant piece of kit for all the reasons you have said. I would recommend the Bobbin Holder to any Sewist(!)

An excellent post, no dramas, but lots of celebrities! Well done.

Thankyou

Thank you Lynn for this interesting post, both from the point of view of the process involved in making the quilt and for the story of the award ceremony. (It’s easier to leave a comment when I get the log-in details right!)

Thankyou very much for your lovely comment Jennifer.

What a lovely memory Lyn, love the lyrics too. Great achievement.

Good idea Vendulka, tomorrow’s job

Oh how I wish…! I have a sewing room and a crafting room. My crafting room is more planned than the sewing room, but one of my stepsons came back to live with us last year, and I said he could use the crafting room for storage short term…obviously we have different ideas about what short term actually is. I have been trying to finish off WIPs and PHDs recently, including getting projects hung in the home, and I finished a quilt top 3 weeks ago that I’ve been working on, on and off, for 6 years. Problem now is finding the time to quilt it! I’d love to get going in my sewing room today, but alas, work calls!

Lovely cushion Sue.

Brilliant! Will be ordering loads for my leftie friends (but I guess they are a one day special)

Really hit home – this one. I have some Aliens but also some UFo. I actually read this post this morning and then went and threw away a horror of a quilt top that I knew I should never have started and certainly won’t finish. THANK you for your post – it was just what I needed!

Great read Rebecca – nicely written, very funny but with a deep, deep message – I loved it

I love how you have applied the Letting Go strategy to quilting aliens and UFOs. Its a nice easy step by step process, that I think it worth a try on my own stash.
