    This is my Christmas quilt that I made for my husband this year. I used a panel and outlined some of the objects on the panel. Then I used the idea for the 6 Hour Quilt to finish it up. I also made one for a grandson for his birthday which is Halloween and he loves his quilt..

    Tips From Our Readers....

    For the ladies who find their thread is catching in the spool slit on the end, which causes tension problems or thread breaking, I have a solution. ALWAYS put the spool slit first on the spool spindle. The thread is processed to unwind correctly for better stitching if that slit is put on the spindle first, plus the thread is not dragging over the slit. Example: on spool spindle that lies sideways, the slit will be on your right. On the upward spool spindle, place the slit on it first, which places it at the bottom or next to the machine. All this will help you to be a much happy sewer, if you follow the manufacturers reasons for success....Ruby

    Wylma said she had trouble with the split on the end of the spool of thread and solved it by sanding it down. I just reverse the spool so the split is on the end of the spool away from where the thread comes off. This way you can still use the split to fasten the end of the thread....Sarah

    Funny Stories From Our Readers....

    My husband keeps saying, The first 100 years are the hardest. That may be a Chinese proverb.
    I don’t know how I can look so good in the bathroom mirror and so old in pictures.... Sandy

    We have threee cats and our Calicat is one that really loves quilts!! The other's enjoy them for a nap but Calicat loves them when they are tops spread out to take a picture or when they are on my frame. She also likes batting!! When the quilts use to be piled in the corner of the couch she would find her way underneath the bottom one because she loves all the weight of the pile on her. She is one crazy cat but she loves quilts so she's not so crazy. ...Cindy
