I found out today that is what I am wishing to make . I have a Bernina and it only runs on EXPENSIVE thread. Is there a place to buy larger spools because this is going to use a LOT. Unless I see something better I am making the Queen Anne Star. Ladies kindly led me to the pattern of it this...

Gosh, it got quiet in here for a bit. I was afraid there was something wrong with my email again. Happy 3-11 Day! Any PDQ Bach fans here? I'm going to see Professor Peter Schickele at a radio interview in about an hour. I'm so excited! I've been a fan since the early 70's. For those who don't...

You have to check this out, it is hilarious! An operations manager for Jack in the Box was late for a meeting and called his boss to tell him he was running late. As he was leaving the voice mail message, he witnessed an accident and went on to provide a "play by play" of the incident. This is...

I have a 1/4 foot with a little metal edge guide, as I'm sure most of you do. Has anyone ever heard of a similar foot with an 1/8 inch guide on it? I have projects other than quilting that I could use it for. Linda, in Lancaster PA

THANK you so much for remembering us. My daughter is bringing Bob home as we speak. I'm spending this time teaching DGD how to use my sewing machine. Bob will recover a couple weeks, and maybe then he will go back to work. He said he feels much better already with the pacemaker keeping things...

My DH and I are just starting the exploration of building our dream retirement house and I am going to have a bedroom to use as my sewing/stitching room. Today, as we discussed some of the house plans in a book we are studying, we measure out one room that is 12 X 11 and decided that the Koala...

Its now almost 2nd April and I can only get the messages from 31st March. I CANNOT believe that there have been no messages since Thursday. What is going on? That was a stupid question as if you answer I probably wont see the reply. Why oh why did AOL stop giving me the NG????? Fed up Flossy

Sofia turned 1 year old a couple of weeks ago, with both my parents in town... we had a great time. mom is still here for a few more days. I remember when I thought I would probably never want to have a baby. but she is such a happy, active, loving, clever and interactive baby - I had no idea...

I broke my promise & made a quicky quilt for my DGD's first grade teacher. I'll put it on my machine quilting pile to complete by May and now back to my UFO pile. Only a small back slide..........

Anyone know where to purchase pretty binding already done so I can buy it long enough to go around a queen sized quilt--about 400 inches or more. ??? I am looking for a Provencial design but like to see any. I do not want to do a self binding this time. I am hoping to find binding already done...

Just a tad busy with the voile panels, and yesterday I got my Jones Family CS 1909 sewing machine up and running! :) When I get some more needles for Mrs Jones, I can plan a project. So healing vibes to the lame and the halt, loving condolences to the bereft, and congrats to the winners of all...

Last month, i got a new sewing machine, and machine quited about half of a lap quilt. The blocks had been sent to me as a gift from some dear friends, and I'm so glad to be nearly able to use it! Other than that, i'm working on three gift quilts...it's that time of year. One is Veggie Tales, has...

I'm looking for the US Navy military logo fabric that Hancock's had a year or so ago. Anybody out there have some or know where I can get some. It had a navy color background with the official seal of the US NAvy on it.

To whom it may concern: Some time ago our friend Nancycog in Maryland intimated that she makes wonderful chocolate chip cookies. Of course I was interested in the topic! I indicated that if her claims were true, perhaps she would consider assuming the role of RCTQ Countess of Chocolate Chip...

I've been requested to make a Ring Bearer's Pillow (quilted, no less) for an upcoming wedding. (DGS is the Ring Bearer.) I'm stumped, other than 8" square and white. I could use some inspiration. tia, joan
