The small bags that pillowcases come in are really sturdy and have a zipper. I use them for many things, but they are especially fine for knitting needles. I like to knit in the round, and I...

I tried blowing the picture up, but I can’t make out whether this is cross-stitch or needlepoint. In either case, what kind of fabric are you working on? I’m amazed that the the stitches didn’t...

Your quilt is stunning and very modern. The appliqué leaves add real pizazz. The photos of your grandson on the quilt are adorable - and his outfit perfectly complements the quilt. How fun!

I like GingerK’s suggestion. Once the blocks are all the same size, your only modification will be the location of the new blocks. If they are scattered over the whole quilt, no one will notice. If...

I expanded the second photo and could see that the hexagons are whip-stitched together, so it seems that the whole quilt is hand-done. I don’t know enough to say what particular decade it comes from,...
