God has answered our prayers. For the first time in almost two weeks I feel like a huge weight has been lifted from my heart. My daughter woke up today and is aware of what is going on around her. While she is still very ill and has many challenges ahead
Today I have returned from Ireland from what was suppose to be a dream vacation that turned into a nightmare. There were eight of us, my four children, a son in law, 2 granddaughters and me. My youngest daughter became ill and was admitted to the ICU in G
Does anyone know what you are suppose to do with the animals that are on Adorable Applique's page today?
After my kids dad died they asked me to make something for them out of his uniform shirts. Here is the first of the memory pillows that I made. Each of them will get one like this. There were 5 brand new shirts so there was plenty to make 18x18 in. pillow
I took my Brother LB6700, which was running fine, in to have the auto needle threader replaced and he found so much wrong with it that the repairs would cost as much as replacing the machine would so I declined the estimate. Now instead of replacing that

Airyfairy asked about sewing a coat for her dog recently. Today this link was in my mailbox and I thought I would share it for those who sew for their dog. http://so-sew-easy.com/sewing-for...

I have a most peculiar problem and I wonder if anyone has an answer for me. I have two computers, a desktop and a laptop. One runs Vista and the other has Windows 10 so they have different email programs. I am signed up for the newsletter from stitch deli
Well tomorrow the points on DesignsBySick will go back to zero. Did everyone use up what they had? I have a few left but not enough to get anything that I want so I will just let them expire. I used most of them on older sets that didn't require a large

Last week I got a new tablet so of course I needed to make a sleeve for it. I found some tutorials and "toogie" sent me the links to some more. I read through all of them and then taking that information I created my own pattern and added the fea
