Has anyone previously attended the "Stitch In Time" quilt show in Jefferson TX? I live in San Antonio - is it worth the trip? Thanks - Mary

We'll be traveling from Cleveland to Columbus for a woodworking show for DH this Saturday. Are there any mustn't miss quilt shops that I can drag him to after my suffering? Thanks. Gail

I can't seem to lose the "cuckoo."Have tried to write 4 times. It has been returned yet again.I dare say you have gone ahead with the dyeing by now.Its so frustating. Don't think you'll be able to read this either. -- Estelle...

My DH finally went through all this ties and organized them!!! He even parted with about 20 ties and was about to throw them away so I had him put them in a plastic bag for me. I remember hearing about quilts being made out of neck ties but my question is how do you wash a quilt made out of...

I have been looking and must have missed it. Who won the Jim Shore Santa & Sleigh from the Love of Quilting contest. While I really wanted it to be ME, it obviously was not. Anyone know? Paulette in WV

What a delightful quilt -you did a great job! If I had this, I'd probably never nap, just lie there looking at it :-) Roberta in D "dogsnus" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ... I finally finished the binding on a quilt I had intended to give my...

Yes, Virginia, there is useful spam. I am not quite sure why, but I have started getting spam in Russian. So now I have a read and a laugh before I throw it out - hey, I'm getting some Russian practice every day! And you know, it is usually much more polite and interesting than the usual Viagra...

I have used sulky metallic thread. I was told to used lingerie thread in the bobbin. Low and behold it worked great. My thread hasn't broken since and doesn't get knotted up. Liz

The holidays, the family visits, the interruptions, the quilts left undone, and soon I was in the middle of a mess and eager for the new year to come and straighten me out. At least a little. Too many projects left on hold, my brain in idle. But the new year did come, and I settled down. Didn't I?...

Did anyone else here see the Simply quilts segment on this new book and method. Wow, that sounds like way too much fun. A fast and easy way to do seminole quilting. I am definitely going to buy that book even though I have put myself onto a "book diet". I recently started doing mosaics and went...

They gave DH 2 units of blood and he did not pass out at all yesterday, after 4 days of passing out when trying to stand. His swelling is from the shoulder clear down under his arm and down to his waist, including his shoulder blade in the back. The MRI showed a very small tear, like something...

Now that I'm over the first trimester nausea, I'm starting on a baby quilt for a friend, hoping to be done by her shower in two weeks. WELL! It takes abdominal muscles to use a rotary cutter! I never knew that before. Every cut I make, I feel the tummy muscles contract, almost like a...
