I've decided on my first sewing project. A baby quilt.

The subpoena comes after the ATF failed to meet an earlier deadline. (Note: This happened in April). WASHINGTON. D.C. – Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA), the Chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform today announced the issuance of a subpoena to the Department of Justices' Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) for documents related to the highly controversial "Project Gunrunner." "The unwillingness of this Administration – most speci ...

I can't sew a lick, but I think I'd like to learn to quilt. I need to get back into scrapbooking as I LOVE'd it but just ran out of time to do anything fun after I was bought by the not-so-jolly-green giant. Lovin' the new job and have a few spare hrs a day. Would love to do something creative again, but I wonder how hard quilting is. I have a couple of ideas but no experience. TIA. ...

I have an approximately 15 year old sewing machine I picked up in a lawn sale. There is no user's manual with it. It worked great for a while, but now it's alternately knotting and leaving loops on the underside of the cloth. Any idea if this is an easy fix? Or should I take it to a repair shop? I don't want to spend a bunch to fix it if it's something I could do myself. ...

Thanks for the advice! I adjusted the tension from 2 to 3.5, and it's sewing beautifully now. Such a simple fix! You forget a lot between 7th grade home ec and age 62! ...

My old 24-y/o Singer died Thursday. No idea if it is the machine or the pedal, but really don't want to buy a pedal to see. Looking for recommendations for a new machine, any brand, what you like about it, approx. cost if you recall, features, etc. I don't do a ton of sewing (not a lot of time) but make things from time to time, costumes, curtains, pillows, hemming, skirts/dresses at times. Like something easy to use but with some bells and whistles, ...

I want to buy a sewing machine. My problem with sewing is managing the bobbin thread tension on most sewing machine. I thought I'd ask for information from anyone who sews a lot their recommendation for a sewing machine with problem-free tension. I don't need one that does everything, just a simple machine with a good straight stitch but a good one that I do not have to worry about the tension. It's caused me to just totally quit even trying anymore. ...

Has anyone ever used a sewing awl for heavier fabrics like Carhartt type work pants? My husband is a welder and gets small holes burned in his clothes at times. Then I have to patch them, I have used those iron-on patches and the results are questionable. Then I tried permanent bond fabric glue, which isn't too bad but eventually comes off after washing everything and have to put it in the dryer. We are in an apartment with no room to hang up 3 suits of he ...

Perhaps if we give them more tax breaks they can afford to hire some U.S. citizens. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/01/07/companies-profit_n_805696.html Big Companies Set For Best Fourth Quarter Profit Ever The Huffington Post | William Alden First Posted: 01- 7-11 09:22 AM | Updated: 01- 7-11 09:26 AM Even as unemployment remains high and Americans' finances slowly mend, big companies may be set for their most profitable ...

Relax, grab a cuppa coffee (or stronger!) and enjoy a few minutes of the amazing new San Francisco Bay Lights on the Bay Bridge. These were all programmed from a laptop, and during it's entire 2-year run, no two patterns will be identical! ...

I would love to see Republicans start "caring" about women, Hispanics and gays, but how are they going to get that across while voting against these groups? For example, how can the Republican party possibly get more gay votes when they continually shoot down gay marriage? From the project: The Republican Party needs to stop talking to itself. We have become expert in how to provide ideological reinforcement to like-minded people, but devastatingly we have lost the abilit ...

address as Soros-funded group. A group serving as a central hub of information for congressional town halls was founded by a former Hillary Clinton campaign staffer and its parent company is located at the same address as an organization funded by liberal billionaire George Soros. Democrats have insisted that recent town hall outbursts against Republican politicians occurred organically, likening them to the Tea Party, while President Donald Trump yesterday tweeted that the "so-called ang ...

I am going to set-up a new transcription company. My clients will have to go with one form used across the board for every one of the notes done no matter what they are. For ESL folks, their cost to me would be more than those who speak English well. We would have an action committee where ALL people would be heard and management would require answering all employees issues within a set amount of time. The MT's will actually get paid what they are worth. ...

The American Legislative Exchange Council is made up of a bunch of extremely wealthy individuals and corporations, including the Koch brothers. They've worked quietly ever since the 1970s to influence the direction of our country--not just economic but what they feel should be our moral and social direction. Now they are running candidates for President and Vice President. Romney came under their influence when he accepted ALEC's candidate Paul Ryan as his running mate, and with him th ...

Ok...so sorry if this doesn't work. I haven't posted a picture on here in a long time. I just had to share the news...we are going to have a baby girl! Jocelyn Mae is due to come into this world on June 5, 2010. I'm 25 weeks 4 days today and my belly is definitely making it harder to work. I work in-house in the hospital that I will deliver at, so the plan is to just work until I feel I can't / shouldn't...who knows....maybe I'll just ...

Yeah, yeah, I hardly agree with anything Obama does. This video, however, will make you smile. The look on Michelle's face and then his face is priceless. http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/video/president-obama-stops-baby-crying-13893192?section=2808950&tab=9482931 ...

Just wanted you all to know that the baby miniature horse was even more precious in person! She just stuck to her mom and they walked side by side in the pasture. One of the girls who lives on the farm picked her up and brought her to the fence so we could pet her. Baby's mom was eating hay under a shade tree with her back turned. Suddenly she realized that her baby was not beside her. She made some very loud cries and galloped over to the fence to protect her litt ...

I know he should have left well enough alone, but DH found a mommy and 5 baby mice in our shed. He brought their bedding and the mice into the house to show me. Mommy escaped and we can't find her. Does anyone know what I can do for those poor babies? After I put the dogs to bed at night, I leave out trails of cheese for Mommy, leading to the babies, hoping she'll come back. Sure, they're rodents, but I feel terrible. ...

Oh, my goodness. This little angel, Grace Anna, has a Facebook page that features her singing. She's 3 years old and was born with a myriad of rare anomalies, one of which is dwarfism. But it doesn't stop her from enjoying life and letting the whole world know it! She sings on key, and she knows all the words to "Amazing Grace," "This Little Light of Mine," "You Are My Sunshine," and "Star-Spangled Banner!" Her mommy and daddy had lost all 3 of their previous ba ...

Hello. I recently had a new baby. My job is 3rd shift, so I don't get a lot of sleep. I nap during the day when he does. I am wondering if anyone else has done this and if they could give me some advice. Thank you. ...

I have about 15 baby pet rats. I sure wish someone would take a few off my hands! I rescued to pregnant feeders and now have lots of babies! If anyone interested, let me know! Oh yeah, they're really cute to watch when I'm sitting waiting for the dictating physician to stop chewing his food so he can resume dictation! ...

Just saw where a lady was upset because she wanted to nurse her baby at an airport, wanted some privacy and was told she could get that in the bathroom. She did not want to do that, said germs and then the airline person suggested the pet room where apparently the animals go to use the bathroom, I think. Having never nursed but thought a woman, if traveling, could nurse ahead and store the milk somehow. Women with babies have traveled for years. Why now do others think they are so entitled to ha ...

I had a baby 2 years ago and I have not worked out a day since then (bad I know). Now, with summer coming up, I need to tone up and get in shape. Anyone have a good workout they can share to lose the baby weight. I've got about 10 pounds to lose, which isn't bad, but I'm so out of shape and kind of puffy, no muscle! I really don't want to join a gym as I have a treadmill and some weights but really have no idea what kind of workout to do. ...
