Here's what appeared today on the Quilt Show newsletter: http://www.thequiltshow.com/os/blog.php/blog_id/681 Enjoy! Roberta in D

I finally got my surgery over with last Thursday and got to come home Wednesday of this week. It was pretty rough but could have been worse and I will just be glad when I start feeling human again. Something I had forgotten from when I had bypass back in 2001, is the horrible depression that sets...

Months ago I got a DVD from Fons and Porter. It has quilt patterns, I guess (I never watched it). Since then I have gotten several notices from the F&P people (not Marianne and Liz personally g) asking, "Did you get it? If you like it, send us $12.95." I have ignored the notices. Today I got...

Tell us your greatest hits. Here's mine. Years ago, I started giving the ladies in the family really neat cooking stuff instead of jewelry they might not like or something else that I thought was pretty and they tucked away in a drawer, never to see daylight again. I wasn't certain...

I've been trying to find a pattern for a baby gown in a newborn size. Nothing special, just a pattern I can use to make a couple of gowns for a little one who will be joining us here in Penfield next month. If anyone can help, please let me know. Thanks, Judie

Just thought I'd warn you that the annual awful Christmas tree corny jokes will be coming soon. Meanwhile . . . there was this nice man going in Hancocks the other day. He was getting out of a red truck. Just couldn't help myself. Had to tell him our 1st one. And a warning: Jenx will be...

Today was one of the rare days I just needed to get out of the house. I make most efforts to be a hermit but once in awhile I break away. We hit one of the few last antique historic shopping districts here in So.Cal. We walked until we thought we had seen every old thing ever made. Didn't...

I want to make myself a poncho/shawl to wear while I'm traveling -- I'm headed to Phoenix in January for a couple weeks with my MIL (we have quilt-making plans, and quilt shop shopping plans, and much talking and sharing plans). I found a perfect, almost NO-SEWING pattern and it calls for 2.5 yards...

My last post made me wonder -- what quilty things are on your holiday list this year??? -- Kate in MI http://community.webshots.com/user/K_Groves

Have tried a couple of times to email you with commiserations over Das Foot problems but they all came back. So hope you and Joe are well. So sorry to hear about Firefly - what Leslie said so well from me too. -- Cheers for now Tutu Cape Town, South Africa

No surgery. Postponed for a good 3 months for now. I was working my way up in hours of walking without das boots.....snapped the bone just above the 'plate' area. I was being extremely careful and KNOW I didn't bang it or drop anything on it. In the long run, I'm glad it was that and NOT a...

Hi all! My partner has taken up quilting since she's retired. She does most of it by hand, but there seems to be a sewing machine component in the process too. Her old Bernina is struggling - I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a good quilting sewing machine? Any...

My quilt "Dancing Lights in Indigo Nights" (2005) has been chosen as Quilt of the Day on The Quilt Show Daily Blog (Alex Anderson and Ricky Tims). It will be showcased this Tuesday 6th December US time. Wednesday Australian time. http://www.thequiltshow.com/os/blog.php What a nice surprise and...

Hello, I am hoping to trade with someone. I only need a FQ of bright yellow Minkee fabric, and a FQ of white Minkee, but I can't find any locally and it would cost as much in shipping to order a half yard of each online as the fabric itself! Does anyone have some scraps they would like to...

OK. Pressing 101, probably, but something that has jinxed me forever... How do you press a perfect circle. You know, you've sewed a circle (or real big curve); you've pressed the seams and clipped them. You've turned it through, now it needs flattening. I roll the seams; I try pressing flat. ...

I just found out that my ex-DIL Carrie lost her mother to cancer last night. She is the mother to my 2 oldest DGK's Cheyann and Becky. Could you please keep them in your prayers. Thank you.

And snow... And other things! http://community.livejournal.com/dressdiaries/502930.html You'll have to scroll down a bit, and it won't be me doing the actual quilting, but it is fun to be involved on the design and sandwitching side. -- Kate XXXXXX R.C.T.Q Madame Chef des Trolls Lady...

Hi Polly, I just found several recipes for pizza sauce that use wine as an ingredient. Most said "dry red" - not very helpful. One calls for burgundy. And then there were a lot that called for white wine. I would go for the burgundy myself. Rita -- Rita L. in MA One Eyed Mutant Ninja...

I'm in charge of coordinating a BOM for our guild for next year. 12 blocks -- 1 each month. We're actually doing two -- one pattern I already have -- found it free online. A Christmas oriented one. But for the second I'm looking for something with a mix of pieced and "simple" appliqué. ...
