I was planning to make all the graduating neighbor kids quilts for their graduation. I made one this year and others in the future, but when my son got a card from two of the neighbors, they just put $5.00 in for him. Is it worth it to reward their children when the neighbors aren't as giving?? Should I just make a quilt for my graduating child and give the neighbors $5? Opinions please?

I quilted it on my Juki using my walking foot to create some straight line ...

My son came into a PFAFF 332-6. I have been using a 38 year old Montgomery Wards sewing machine and found the PFAFF to be a beautiful piece of engineering. Since it is a 1950's model, does anyone have a breakdown of the various PFAFF's (built in Germany) model numbers and features, starting wtih the 332? What is the difference between the Hobby and Tipmatic machines? Is there some definitive source to find answers to these and other questions?
Yesterday my daughter and I traveled to Blooming Prairie for their city wide rummage sale event - not looking for anything in particular. I found an old Corning perculator coffee pot for a dollar and just had to bring it home - deal of the day. I'm sitting here this morning checking out posts on QB and enjoying a cup of fresh perc'd coffee - yummo - far better than the fresh drip.

I have begun using primarily wool batting because I like the almost trapunto look it gives when the background is densely quilted. I am wondering if a thinner thread or a thicker thread will help to emphasize that effect. Also, if ...
