Quilted Fabric Bowls by
Rhonda Alterson
I just made my first quilted fabric bowl. My gosh - they're fun and quick. When I can, I'll post a picture. They are great for taking a break from any involved projects. And they are so rewarding. It's almost instant gratification.

Basting Day! by
Debra
I spent today basting my baby quilt and helping Mom baste her big
thick one. She is using high loft batting for the first time, and has
decided this quilt is going to be too hot and heavy for her needs. She
will be sending it to my brother who lives in the mountains. He loves
a super warm quilt. ...

Cappy
About three weeks ago, I was up at the crack of dawn finishing up some floral
arrangements that needed to be out the door by 9:30. I had the local PBS
channel on in the background. One of the quilt shows had a woman demonstrating
this nifty plastic template for a quilt-as-you-go wedding ring...

LOL at Joann Fabric! by
Leslie & The Furbabies in MO.
All the auto manufacturers are offering new car buyers their "employee
discount" on their television commercials. I just got an email from
Joann Fabrics telling me I can get *their* employee discount of 15%
off. Sheesh! I'd much rather have a new pick-up truck!

peeking in again by
cozyhomelife
I peek in here about once a year, and then life usually takes back over and
I disappear. I was just going to read a few notes, but being a blabber
mouth, found myself replying so figured I might as well officially say "hi
again". :)

any kind whatsoever they had best provide them for me.
