Love your Floral panel Margaret. It's stunning xx

Hi Nicole, Most sewing machines are suitable for quilting. You will need a walking foot to feed the 3 layers through. I have a Bernina 440 which I have had for years and it suits me very well as I make quilts, and machine quilt with it. I can also free motion quilt small items too. I Make clothes, bags, toys etc.,.

I agree with Rosemary that you should try before you buy and you can do this at the Festival of Quilts (1-4 August). Most sewing machine brands will be there and you can try them all. It also depends what features you would like it to have on your machine.

Rosemary, The quilt is looking awesome. Well done! There is so much work there. I hope to be able to see it at the FoQ. xxx

Hi Brenda,

Sounds like your retreat is going to be full of fun!! I've been AWOL for ages too, but I have been stitching.

I'll be getting round, excuse the pun, to mine soon Rosemary!

Hi Sylvia, I'm so glad to hear that you are safe. I did think about you at the time of the storm. I feel very sad that so many died and the devastation caused by the flooding.

Take care, Love, Irene xx

I remember doing this a few year ago (was it 5 years ago?)when I was in Switzerland staying with my daughter. My grandson, Jonny joined in too and made a teacosy for his mum. I think those who joined in chose an hour in the day, or night, to do their sewing.

Hi Margaret, Thank you so much for my fabulous snowflake card. I love it. It looked good in its plastic cover. I think I shall have to start doing that as I've found that the stamps are not sticking so well on the fabric.

Happy Christmas Rosemary, may the festive season be full of smiles, laughter, love and joy xxx
