Hi Everyone, I've just finished posting before and after pictures of my sewing room on my picturetrails page. www.picturetrails.com/quiltygurl Just two before pictures......it was way too embarrassing to post much of the disaster that I let happen down there. I was inspired by the posts from Kim,...

What a glorious day. I wanted to get an early start today, because I knew the weather would be fairly hot for Scotland (22C) but alas... the best laid plans... However, I took the 13:32 train to Cupar, which arrived just before 2. I walked 2 miles out of the town, enjoying the hot sun,...

I can't remember what the site was that you all talked about about tea. Anyone have the url or even remember the company name? I googled but didn't come up with it. BTW google has a cute graphic for the moon landing today that is fun. TIA, Taria

I have a quilt I'd like to birth and tie, but I have never birthed or tied a quilt before so I have a few questions. First is how do you handle batting while birthing a quilt? And has anyone here tied a quilt with embroidery floss. I think it would give the quilt a neat look, but didn't know how...

Thanks to some kind help from nzlstar I now have at least some pics online. The Mardi Gras quilt is still under construction, and has hit a prolonged pause because so many people come to visit or do classes I don't get much time to work on it. There is a pencil design of the quilt as I plan...

I'm cleaning today - well, not really, but wandering aimlessly from room to room thinking about cleaning...I just had a thought: anyone want to trade VCR tapes for fat quarters or scraps? I have donated a lot of videos over the past few years, but still have quite a few left that I'd like to part...

My 1st cousin is getting married next October. She was born when I was 14 and she was my favorite cousin. I babysat her quite a bit. But I have not had much contact with her in the last 15 years or so. She was in my wedding and my 13 year old daughter will be in her wedding. Now I need to make...

I buy the ones from Wal-Mart Friskers I think is the name I use.. But I find them to go dull after a few passing.. Case in point: I have only made 4-12" blocks with the new blade, today while making a the 4th block, I once again find this one starting to skip. and this is not even talking about the...

As many of you know my FIL had a long fight, it ended today. I will miss him dearly, I am glad he is now out of the pain he has been in since Sep 16th, We where blessed with the extra time we had with him

I keep dreaming of someday getting a new SM but none of the SM company websites give prices. I do realize that prices can vary quite a bit from dealer to dealer but I'm just looking for a "ball park figure" based on suggested list price. I guess I would like to know if some of the machines I'm...

I just received a very long email that was forwarded to me from a friend who knows the writer. It's very interesting and informative. I'm afraid that posting it on the newsgroup would be a pain in the neck for some of you, but I'm also sure many of you would like to read it. I could forward it...

Our guild is having a discussion about offering services such as the newsletter on-line. Some members have expressed that it is unfair because not all guild members have access to the Internet. Others feel that this is a sign of the times and other organizations offer newsletters tips etc. over...

My brother-in-law has announced his intentions of divorcing my sis, because he caught her cheating on him with a married man. I had to find out from my brother, who found out from my parents, who were told by a formal letter from my brother-in-law. It's a bit of a shock. Since then, there have been...

Ok, could someone please explain this phenomenon to me? We sew right? We use rotary cutters, to cut up little pieces of fabric, which we then sew back together, right? We pride ourselves, us wonderful quilters, on precision piecing, corners meeting, 1/4" perfection, right?
