Re: Knit One for the Hometeam! Seattle Mariner's Stitch N' Pitch 2008

Gregg knitting a scarf for you reminds me of my first knitting project when I was in high school and learning to knit. All the other girls were knitting stoles with a lacy pattern which they had to concentrate on. Since I would rather "talk than knit" I got yellow yarn and cast on 30 stitches; knit a row and pearled a row and made it long enough wrap around my neck and hang down and I called it a scarf. See Gregg, nothing to it....know you can do it....

Re: Crafte's Inferno: The Second Circle of Craft Hell

Great chair, Michaela.....I remember some "all nighters" that I pulled sewing for Easter Sunday. As I got older, however, I realized that if it was not done by 5:00 PM on Sat before Easter, it was not going to get done.
Recovering furniture is alot of "hammer and nail" rather than sewing, unless there are cushions w/piping etc. So glad to know you can upholster, may keep some projects for you...

Re: It's A Bird, It's a Plane, It's a Super-Quilt from the Past

How exciting....to see "my" quilt on a GREAT web site. When I had Gregg draw these super heros,it was my intent to make a quilt, but I think I was afraid to try it as I did not know where to start. At that time, quilting was kind of a "lost art" from my Mother's generation. When I finally had the nerve to do it, quilting was everywhere and it was easy to find a quilt shop and get the help I needed. Superman w/"the" curl....what memories to see it again. It was almost like Gregg's trademark. Michaela, with her gift of writing and a way with words has created an article that has pleased me beyond words. Thank you both....
