I just found a large deep purple ink stain on my diningroom quilt table cloth. My guess is the ink came off of something I purchased at a store, as I sometimes unload groceries on this table. I know I can google an answer, but hoped someboday here has had success with removing ink from a...

Yesterday, at the Beach Cities Quilt Guild's Quilt show, I got to meet up with Terbear!!! What fun to meet another grouper. She had my gf take a picture of us both in front of my quilt, BUT, since my quilt is a white whole cloth with pastel varigated threads, it does not show up too well. I am...

I need some help- recently on a trip, I was in a small quilt shop and the owner showed me a darling wall hanging with a row of pumpkins and a kitty s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d out in front of them. It was aproximately 18" X 30" but when I asked to see the pattern, she said she didn't have it yet, this was...

There is a store site where on the right hand side of the screen they list the different designers and lines- they carry a lot of Moda. They also sell stuff ( I think) for $4/yd and less in their sale categories. I lost the site and they had stuff I liked. Can anyone help? Thanks in...

Took your advice and got some re-inking done. Had the Claddagh on my ankle re-inked and added my childrens initials and birthdates under it. It looks *awesome*!! Eventually, I will have the moon and star re-inked as well, but not today. Thought I would share and say thanks for telling me about...

Can anyone direct me to the site that shows how to figure yardage for the "diagonal" pieced backs? I had it....once. Can't find it now. I have backing fabric that I want to use but it isn't quite enough for vertical or horizontal piecing. Thanks! Laurie G.

DH and I had plans to fly to Alaska for house hunting on May 6. On May 5, I got a squishie from Jennifer in Florida, and it was wonderful... back issues of quilting magazines (perfect for reading on the plane!) and a bit of beautiful fabric. Thank you so much! I hate to fly, and having those...

I finished DS's first birthday present last week. It's his growth chart. I hope you can see the heart; that's his length at birth (20 inches). The number "1", of course, is for his height at his first birthday, 30 inches... Time sure flies. http://www.geocities.com/babypillbug/quilts.html --...

Well, Gerty is still quite ill. The SM repair guy (who said he'd be here 10am Saturday) rang at 11 and asked when we'd be home until. DH was talking to him and I yelled out "tell him not to bother, we'll call after vacation". I believe SM man heard this and promised he'd call or be here by...

Funny in your last post you mentioned "2 more sleeps". When my nephew Dan was 3 he couldn't understand time frames to well so we always told him how many "wake ups" til the event. He is 20 now and we still say it for upcoming events! Have a safe trip. Linda -- Sugar & Spice Quilts by Linda...

I finally finished going through the Whatchagot box yesterday and sent it off to the post office. I took out the 2 red bandana print fat quarters along with the two fat eighths of the cowboys on horseback and the sailing ships. I replace it with 4 packages of quilting notions, 2 fat quarters...

Some time back, someone posted the URL for a site that was a fairly mathematical explanation of a number of tile shapes suitable for adaptation as quilt patterns, some of them tesselating. Prominent among them was the kite shape. I have googled and googled, and I cannot find that site. Came to...

The Malec pattern Golden Retriever wallhanging is done, except for the label. I've posted a picture of it on my little website. BTW, when I remember, I will try to post new pictures at the top for easy viewing. Just forgot this time. joan joan o'reilly http://members.aol.com/Joan8904/index.html
