Yes I said wading. Mom, her sister, and I spent a half day doing that one day last week. Someone passed along her sewing stash to my aunt and suddenly it was too full for her to cook in there, so auntie called us over to sort through it all. There were about 6 boxes and even more trash...

Please? :-) Greetings from dark and rainy western Sweden! I've posted this request to several textile arts type newsgroups, so I apologize to those of you who see it more than once. I live in a small town (pop. c. 9300) and 2007 is Ulricehamn's 700 year anniversary. We don't know exactly when the...

Elizabeth Spannring provided us with all these preprinted 8x11 muslin templates to test different types of MQ in her 'beyond stippling' class. she said to bring any dark thread for those samples, so I brought a couple of half used spools of Stars. my MQ was kind of clunky and I was getting...

Yesterday, I tried really hard to see that the address for the Ugly Squares got to all of you that needed it. A couple of my emails bounced and I tried again. Please do let me know if you asked and I didn't get through to you. I will even get adult supervision if necessary to decode your email...

I have made a couple of quilts (tied) but need help from you artisans...... I am supposed to make a memory quilt of scraps from the many many little outfits I have made for DGD. Her mother really wants it. My scraps are largish for the most part (up to 8"squares are possible) She is 9 now. This...

Another funny spam title: "Gopher Head Pop Tart" Like the "Cooking Christian Children" spam, I'll pass on this one, too. I'm not a fan of Pop Tarts, and I'm sure the gopher head filling doesn't improve them much. ;-) -- Kathy A. (Woodland, CA) Queen of Fabric...

Was this past weekend, whew! I sold Xmas tree skirts, placemats, stockings, coasters and hot pads. I made nearly 400 bucks! Wahooo!

Hi Everyone I've finally sat down and started a journal of my trip to Houston this year. I hope you enjoy the adventures we had before and after the show. It was fun chatting with Butterfly, Joshua, Tricia and Michael. I'm sorry I missed the rest of the RCTQer's that were at the show. There...

Hello Girls! I've never machine quilted before and yesterday I tryed to follow the directions I read in last posts about this matter on a few little sandwiches made just for learning this. It ended up in a mess of thread on the bottom layer.. it was like a nest! I set the upper tension then the...

at the risk of sounding new..LOL..what is a QI? sorry I am still learning my way around here

For those of you who tried following the pattern directions...... is it really necessary to do the swatch chart, or will arranging the blocks on my design wall work? Thinking ahead is one thing, and if you recommend doing the swatch chart, I will. I really want this to work out. TIA Karen,...

I've got 3 people working on this word so I'm anxious to see what it is. Thanks to all that helped and I pray that I have not offended anyone. -- Cindy from MO

I was told yesterday during my machine quilting class with Elizabeth Spanning (fun! I learnt a LOT!) that Peacock and Feather north of Seattle is also closing! Looks like the land was possessed by the city or something like that - it is the third one in the area that closes since I've moved...

What is all this about "squishies"??? THanks!

Hello, I was going through my Christmas Fabric and came across a piece with large magnolias. I know there is someone here that loves magnolias, she even lives on a street with magnolias in the name. The fabric is hers for the taking, just give me your mailing address and I'll send it on the...

Subject: Best Grandpa Joke of the Year A small boy was lost at a large shopping mall. He approached a uniformed policeman and said, "I've lost my grandpa" The cop asked, "What's he like?" The little boy replied, "Crown lager, and women with big

Here's 3 of the crazy quilt blocks I've been working on. There will be 3 quilts, one in blues, one in greens and one in orange and brown. They are Yule gifts for three young gentlemen who are MUCH too old for playtoys, but not quite old enough for most adult type stuff. :-) The quilts will be lap...
