The absolute best thing I've found is Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day Oxygen Bleach Stain Remover. It says it is for pets, but it works great on anything! I've removed red wine and grease/oil spots with this stuff. It comes as a powder and you dissolve it in a bit of HOT water to make a loose paste. Brush it on with a toothbrush to just the spot, wait until it dries and then brush off the white stuff. Many groceries are carrying this in my area, but you can also order it from www.mrsmeyers.com if you can't find it locally. Good Luck!

I'm on a roll now--a shot of the border quilting--such detail!

A closer up of the fine feathers on front...

Thanks Kristina for the lovely Reproduction Mini-Quilt! I love the quilting and the colors. Thanks too, for the coffee cup warmers and pin cushion. They will be well used! This is my first time posting a picture so here goes... If this works I'll try to add a couple more so you can see the lovely quilting better.

I'm going to guess $1,460... not too scientific, but that sounds good to me. Beautiful quilt!

Thank you Michael and Kay for encouraging me to submit pictures for the Challenge, and thanks to all who voted and submitted entries. The quilts are all lovely and I have been inspired by so many! I was truly shocked when I got a "Congratulations" email from Kay--have to admit I wasn't watching all that closely--Thank you Thank you Thank you!! This was very timely as I just lost my day job (today was my last day in the office) and have quite a wish list for more CL products--had just sent Kay an email a few weeks ago to that effect when she told me my last big purchase was paid up... Now I can put in my order--this is the first time I've entered a quilt in any competition and my first award!! Thanks again and again!

God bless you and your father, and may He keep you in the palm of His hand. Mostly, I pray that you will feel His presence, love and comfort during this difficult time.

You're on your way now, but I didn't see (maybe I missed it) that anyone suggested a Towa Bobbin Tension tester. I love mine and use it everytime I wind new bobbins. There are different opinions on what the "magic" tension is so you'll have to come up with your own I think. But, in my opinion, that is one of the most valuable "gadgets" I have invested in.

I just put new leaders on my 5 year old Millie last week. I used several hints and tips from magazines and from this forum. I first made sure the table and rollers were level and that the space between the bars was equal all the way across. Then I taped the leaders on with 2 sided carpet tape and duck tape (suggested by APQS). I pinned the front and back leaders together, rolled the rollers forward and back a few times, then stitched a horizontal line all the way down with the horiz lock on. Then I turned back the canvas exactly on that stitched line and stitched across to hold this in place (both front and back leaders). Using Renea's suggestion, I marked my zippers every inch across--all of them. Then I stitched the zippers onto the leaders. Now, when I do pantos or Circle Lord templates, the side markers are right on the money all the way down! I'm really excited about this! It was well worth the trouble! And, I have to add, my husband helped with the taping, but I did the rest myself--with lots of pins...
