OK, I'm only doing it because I found a thing cheap and expect the thing I want to go with it to be hard to find. I'm picking up hardcover copies of "The Box of Delights" and "Midnight Folk" by John Masefield. Now the part I need help with. In about 1989 the BBC did a six part series of "The Box...

I haven't been quilting very long and now I want to try quilting by hand. I have the top of the quilt (wall hanging) pieced and want to machine quilt (stitch in the ditch) some of the areas, but want to hand quilt designs (I've already marked them) in other areas. Now for the dumb question ....

Hey Jeri! I was going to do this but my problem is - I'm gonna be in Hawaii!!! Should I remove the spread from my bed there and hang it over the balcony and take a photo? Or can I send in a photo early and "pretend" it was on the 5th? Sharon from Melbourne Australia From: "Jeri"...

My Rotary club had its major fundraiser today: a golf outing. The weather was terrible with rain in the morning and drizzle in the afternoon. The golfers were intrepid but came in for cocktails and dinner pretty wet and cold. I contributed my Floating Four Patch to the live auction. It brought...

Well, I'm just about ready to go to bed before heading off on another road adventure. Not sure where it will end, but our first destination is going to be Salt Lake City in Utah. Last time we headed down that way was 2000, just before I had my ankle surgery. I'd hoped to get to Albuquerque but...

Do not wash the cat blankets more than one at a time, no matter how well 3 can balance each other in the washing machine. The cat fur plugged the pump, breaking the machine. All fixed now. But I gots to remember to be a wee more careful on my cleaning binges. -georg (making flylady and my mum...

Hi everyone, I am thinking about purchasing a mid-arm machine and have been coveting the Handi-Quilter 16. It has a stith regulator option and a somewhat portable design. After puching and pulling a queen size quilt through my Bernina I think I am ready to step up! Please any advice is greatly...

There's a quilt pattern that looks like square and rectangle picture frames layered one on top of the other, 3-D looking, by Valerie Wells. My LQS owner has it at her home, and I can't find it anywhere on line. I need it desperately. Has anyone here seen it? It's new, I think. Thanks for any...

Hi all, It's my birthday coming up and my Mum would like to buy me some gift vouchers/certificates that can be used at an online quilting store to buy fabric. It really has to be a store within Europe as buying from the USA and Canada we get hit with huge customs charges. So far I have only come...

I got my pictures back from the AQS show and thought about putting some of them online so you all could see them. Then I got to thinking the owners of the quilts might not want them out for public viewing on the internet. I know I've seen quilts from other shows on webpages, but I wouldn't want...

Well since I got to shopping I've actually started my UFO again. I've been so tempted to take a pic and post but I don't want to ruin it. I like to see the finished product. So it's laying on my living room floor. I'm about 3/4 done sewing all the squares together to finish the top. Baby even let...

I've just started sewing up a hugs and kisses baby quilt for a dear co-worker friend of DH's (baby is due later in the year) and as out-dated and obsolete as my Gerty Werty (Wertheim) is she is just so, so much more *modern* than my old Singer 248 (circa around 1967 from Santiago Chile - yes Chile...

Hi All, AOL has been so unresponsive this week! The good news is I can read this newsgroup, but can't access websites! THEY blame my firewall, as in "did you update your security lately, that's probably it." and "turn off your firewall and internet security to sign on or go to websites."
