Ok, all this bobbin winder talk has me (along with Val) thinking. WHat is the wackiest sewing or quilting gadget that you ever bought. Also, what is the wackiest gadget that turned out to be really handy? Taria

Take a break. Something here is bound to make you smile. Polly NO PARENT LEFT BEHIND I promise that you cannot read these and not laugh. These are REAL notes written by PARENTS. (Spellings have been left intact.) Most of them are funny, but some are just sad.

WHY would anybody want ultraviolet fusible? Any ideas? Anybody know what special use it could be??? Leslie- perplexed, Missy & The Furbabies in MO.

Just worried about her ... I noticed that she hasn't posted since last Thursday. Prayers going out to her!!! I hope she can come back SOON and that everything's OK - at least as okay as it can be what with her poor hubby!!! Hugs! Connie http://sewverycreative.blogspot.com

Hi guys. No troll here. Don't have a pic yet but will soon. I am Vicky from Oregon. You can check out my geocaching blog if you're interested and to prove that I really am a human. LOL http://geocachiker.wordpress.com

So, what's on your mental list of wanting to do some day? I mean quilting wise! A Lone Star quilt is high up there for me, but I don't want to do just a star, I think I'd want to combine it with applique, I'm working on a Baltimore Album quilt by hand and realistically it's going to take me a...

Where do I find out who needs blocks for hug quilts. I have never recieved one myself but I would love to help on others. GrammyKathy

Finally finished the big quilt for my nephew, it needs only to be washed and de-furred and the label attached. Dora is not happy to have lost her favorite resting place. I can hardly believe I got it done in time for Christmas! Have a wonderful day, all. I am off to start the next quilt--I...

My Dearest Friends, I am stunned ! I never thought that I would be ever on the other end of a hug quilt. I love making blocks for other peoples hugs and hearing about their joy of receiving a quilt. I cried and murmured"oh, my God" about 50 times! it is so, so beautiful and the quilting is...

I recieved 2 blocks for my DSGD & DSGS from a Robera from Germany. She didn't let me know which group she was with. I have checked all the other groups I am on and this is my last one. I will tell you they are beautiful. GrammyKathy

What kind of quilt-related things are you asking for or hoping that you get this holiday season? There isn't much that I need and I've got about as much fabric as I have room for, but I have asked for a bunch of the Essential Thread from Connecting Threads. http://www.connectingthreads.com/ I...

That's what I've been finishing. Also a quilt for my DD's 21st BD on New years eve.

I am in search of a product known as "Fiberfilm", a Tyvek paper that is heat reactive. It may also be known as Fibertex, or that may be a similar product, I'm not sure. I can only locate it on UK and Canadian websites. Does anyone know of a US supplier? Thanks.

I'm making five quick snuggle quilts- to be finished this week. Yikes! All are based on 6 in. blocks- Warm Wishes, Trip Around The World, Rail Fence... so far. I've tacked many quilts, but usually in a random pattern. These quilts seem to be calling for something not random. Since I'm using...

I recently acquired a Singer 99K, and it is absolutely wonderful to use! Through a variety of E-Bay sellers I have the machine, case, manual, repair manual, and complete set of attachments, and am delighted. For a total investment of under $100 I now have a small machine that I can set up on my...

I hope this message gives you the inner peace it does me. Ah Salama Lakum. "The messenger of Allah said: "Islam is to testify that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, to perform the prayers, to pay the zakat, to fast in Ramadhan, and to make the pilgrimage to the...

Leslie and I were just talking about something nice we do for us and for the furry faces at Christmas time. We are both 'gifted' with fabric that will never see a quilt from our hands. Not only does this fabric occupy precious space but it yells at us every time we reject it. If you need to...

hi everyone, December's BOM is going to be a bit later than promised as my main pc is out of action due to decorating the living room. I'm on my laptop (which DD has taken ownership of) doesn't have much installed on it of my 'stuff' plus I'd book marked the piecing and pp patterns on my main pc...
