Friday Flick Pick #10

Bringing up Baby (1938)

Staring;
Cary Grant
Katharine Hepburn

Director Howard Hawks

Katharine Hepburn (Susan) a rather scatter head, finds she has been smitten with paleontologist Cary Grant (David). And the hilarious events that happen as she tries to get his attention. Even with the use of a leopard named “Baby”

My favorite part ~~ when she is on the phone pretending to be the operator telling the time!

Questions!!!!

#1 What kind of sewing machine do you have?

I keep buying machines and never seem to find what I want or need. I do not want bells and whistles; just a machine that works well! Where the tension stays where I put it, it does not skip stitches, the needle does not move; I have a machine every time I set the perfect ¼ inch seam. I turn the machine off, when I turn it back on the needle is in a new position!!! Grrr…
I do not care if the needle stays up or down. I like a foot pedal. I need straight and zigzag. I have a machine with a ton of stitches, never use them!! Any ideas?

#2 What kind of thread do you use for piecing?

I have always used Coats and Clark 100% Cotton, what do you think. I am afraid to try anything else, but I bet there is something better out there?

Thank you!!!!!

Happy Mother's Day.....

I would love to wish everyone a Happy Mother's day!
Enjoy!

Jelly Roll Sampler Quilt Along........

These are my blocks for the Jelly Roll Quilt along. This is such fun! I am trying blocks I never thought to try, let alone make!!

Oh my Heavens…..

Oh my Heavenly days….
I did it!!
What you say?
Binding!!!
Yes, after 25 years plus of quilting, I finally can do a decent binding!!

YIPPEE!!!!!

I would like to thank Carrie from A Passion for Appliqué for first posting this you-tube video.

Then I would like to thank Sharon Schamber (for I am sure she reads my blog) for this absolutely foolproof method.

I am going to re-post the video because it bears repeating and for those of us that are binding challenged this will save your life!! And those of your family. (I might get a little crabby when it is time to bind).

In this video Sharon uses a glue tip, do not attempt to find it, you will not be able to find the tip!!! I even emailed the Elmer’s Glue Company and they did not have the tip. I did, however, find THIS at Jo-Ann (only on-line) and it works like a charm.

So, sit back, relax and let your binding problems melt away!!!

Sorry, scroll down and turn off my music.

There are 3 parts.
