Hi, everyone! 

Welcome to my website! My website designer, Kim Jackson, has done a great job making my website easy for you to navigate. 

At the top of this page, there is a recent quilt. Below that quilt, there are topics in blue.

This home page just wouldn't be complete without a little something extra, so here are some sewing tips. I think they will make you laugh. They are from a Singer Sewing Machine Manual from 1949. After you read this, you will know what I mean when I say "We've come a long way, Baby!"

Prepare yourself mentally for sewing. Think about what you are going to do. Never approach sewing with a sign or lackadaisically. Good results are difficult when indifference predominates. Never try to sew with a sink full of dirty dishes or beds unmade. Then there are urgent housekeeping chores. Do these first so your mind is free to enjoy your sewing.

 When you sew, make yourself as attractive as possible. Put on a clean dress. Have your hair in order, powder and lipstick put on. If you are constantly fearful that a visitor will drop in or your husband will come home and you will not look neatly put together, you will not enjoy your sewing as you should.

Thank you for visiting my website! And happy stitching to you all, especially now that your dishes are done, your beds are made, you have a clean dress on, and your hair and lipstick look great!
