My favorite kind of email! Good morning, I want to thank you for your video and sharing with us how you made your table. I decided to make me one. I use a Pfaff machine and the machine sits on it’s own platform which sits on the table. After making the extended table it still…

Nouli’s Table in Athens, Greece!
Quilters, I am always left speechless when I see how far my videos reach. I’ve received questions and comments from quilters in Australia, South America, the Middle East, and now Athens, Greece about my videos.

Nina’s Custom Sewing Table
Nina sent me her adaptation of my “Cheap Custom Sewing Table” along with this note: I recently saw your fantastic video on making your own sewing table. I was all set to do as you suggest, the sturdy insulation, etc., when I hit upon another idea. My son had a set of Enclycopedia Brittannica many…

5 Minute 5 Dollar Organizer
My pal Judy Wedemeyer gets credit for this one and she’s going to post about it on her blog too 🙂 We were chatting about making quilted Art Cards and she wanted to show me some of the decorative bits she’d collected that she used to both make the cards and to give her inspiration.…

Quilt Binding by Machine
There are many good methods of putting a binding on a quilt but I’ve never seen how to flip the corners specifically demonstrated and that’s what my friend Rosemary asked to see, so I made a video for her. When preparing for the binding I start by measuring all four sides of the quilt and…

Vote for Vanessa!
Quilters, you might have noticed that I am loving making videos and putting them on YouTube. I also *watch* a lot of videos there – in fact, when I want to figure out how to do something, like use a piece of software or cook something, well the first place I go now is YouTube.…
