Using Up Those Embroidery Test Sews

I would have to call myself a fabric junkie. I love solid colored fabric and prints and buy it even when I have no earthly idea of what I will do with it. I have so much fabric that my daughters always come by and "shop" in my sewing room before making a trip to the fabric store. And I save...

LaRueSews-Quilts-Hand quilting, It’s Personal!

If you have worked along with me, you will soon need to decide if you will quilt by hand or by machine. I have a friend who began quilting a little more than a year ago. As we talked, one day, I asked how she planned to do her quilting. She quickly said, “by machine.” That’s OK. I never...
