I bought a Centennial Featherweight last year and it has a carrying case. They are nearly 80 years old! I decided to make a padded case to hold the carrying case to protect it during travel. For the base of the case I chose to buy cotton canvas for a sturdier base than regular quilting cotton.
Quilters know a dangerous truth: buying fabric and using fabric are two completely different hobbies.
Around North Carolina’s capital, that distinction becomes very easy to understand. A Road Trip is close at hand! Click the link below for a list of 13 great shops!
One of the ministries I support is Sleep in Heavenly Peace. They build beds for children who sleep on the floor because they don't have a bed of their own. My quilt guild supports them as well. The members make twin size quilts to donate to SHP.
This photo shows one of the quilts I made. It's made with a Jelly Roll and yardage. I made it while on a quilt retreat last year. After a quilt is donated normally we don't get to see who the quilt was donated to. I was thrilled to see this photo on the SHP facebook page! This little girl received my quilt!
