DS and his wife surprised me with a Christmas puppy this weekend! Her name is JJ (Jada Jarhead) and she's a 5 month old Boxer. Yippee! Pictures are in the album marked JJ (see link below) Musicmaker http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/cbet_99/my_photos

I have been looking to get a new machine, and it looks as though what I'd like does not exist. Looking at Bernina, Viking, and Pfaff, currently. I like the large 9 inch work area of the mega quilter and grandquilter, but do not want to get one of those big stands. I did try one out at the...

My Janome 6600 sm decided it had enough after one handbag! The stinker- it quit making stitches, so Monday morning off to the repair shop it goes. I switched to my little Janome Jem and made a tote to be used with a walker. If you click on each picture, there is a description under the...

At the second hand store I found a Singer French addtion treadle machine. They want 50 euro for it, but I can talk him down to 35 or 40 ($75 talk down to $50ish) except for the band which needs tightening it is in perfact condition. I am busy talking my self out of it. DH says Why do you need that...

Hey Sandy, My Mum is talking about possibly making a trip to Las Vegas while I am there. If we do, I am guessing it will be sometime during the last two weeks in June, are you going to be around for a meet-up? Shona, arranging arranging, in NZ

I need help to find my last 'bunny' at The Stitching Station - http// www.montanaquilting.com -anyone?? Pretty please? jennellh

Had a quilting realization yesterday--I've come full circle. When I first started quilting, I did everything by hand because I didn't know much about using a sewing machine, and mine was temperamental to boot. When I finally got a good sewing machine, I vowed to become comfortable with it, and...

Anyone here have a quilt on display at the New City NY library? There were about 10 and they were beautiful. Lee rarebirdyatverizondotnet Park Ridge, NJ

Hi all! For anyone who will be in the Montreal area at the end of the month - I wanted to let you know that the West End Quilters Guild is having a show. when Friday April 29: noon-8pm Saturday April 30: 10am-4pm where

An advantage to having DH out of town, I don't have as many distractions to take me from my quilting. Today I finished piecing a mystery quilt and put the border on. Tomorrow I hope to get a ride to town and get backing for it. I got out some pre-quilted fabric that had been given to me. Cut it...

Well now, even with the internet, I try Really Hard to support my LQS's - and we're lucky enough to have several here and there. For Christmas, DH got me a Thimbleberries Club 2004 membership to one about 1/2 hour north from here. Basically, we get a card & special patterns and, if we...

I finally (took a year to do the hand appliqué) finished a quilt. And DBF likes it enough that he agreed to hang it in the dining room. Last summer--nearly a year ago--Suzanne Marshall did a workshop on her take away appliqué for our guild. Finally finished that one block, added some borders,...

When you aren't sure of a specific purpose for a gift quilt, what determines how big you make it? When it turns into an odd size do you just finish it or do you try to make it a more useful size? One reason I like giving folks I love quilts is that they're very practical gifts--but not if their...

I have not found the time to right my own bio response but have enjoyed reading everyone else's. I plan to keep all the responses in a folder with the directory. Someone please remind me who started this thread. I think they deserve a reward (soft of course). Susan

Hello from very snowy Alberta With all the wonderful introductions recently thanks to Wendy's Roll Call, I've been trying to figure out how to keep messages that may be useful in the future. Is there a way to save a message and all the messages that are attached to it without have to do each...

Joan, I will check with OLFA concerning the wear on cutting mats by using the rotary pinking shears and see if they have any suggestions on how to extend the life of your mats. Regards, Derek

Just a little more info for those of you who are planning a trip to GStreet Fabrics: The Old Farmer's Almanac sez: Accumulating snowfall from Dec. 5 thru 10; from Jan. 7 thru 10; Jan. 17 thru 21. O.F.A. claims an 80% accuracy rate, with an almost on-the-nose prediction of 2002's record-breaking...

The walking foot has feed dogs to move the top of the fabric while the feed doge under the fabric are moving the botton of the fabric. The guide is used so that if you quilt in straight lines that you get the lines evenly spaced across the quilt--the quilt guide is placed on one of the lines you've...

Hi All Had this site shared by a friend, the quilt show in Maple Bay (near Duncan) -- Robyn's Country Quilting 3rd Annual Garden Party. http://www.PictureTrail.com/uid1369398 Thought you might want to see what some Canadian quilters are up to. Thee are three albums to view, wish I'd have known...
