I like it!! Donna in Idaho "Sunny" wrote in message ... Hey, my yahoo account is fixed (grrrrrr -- it had been hacked and I had to give blood almost to get back control) and photos of my new haircut...

My g-neice and her 1yo son need ideas to fill the days with things to see and do in and around Dundee, Scotland while her husband is busy with a seminar. They are leaving Canada on April 15th - they'll spend a couple of days in Edinburgh before travelling to Dundee. Any suggestions will be...

WHY GOD MADE MOMS Answers given by 2nd grade school children to the following questions: Why did God make mothers? 1. She's the only one who knows where the scotch tape is. 2. Mostly to clean the house. 3. To help us out of there when we were getting born.

In Edna's post about uneven flying geese there was a discussion about which should be on the bottom, the pieced section or the unpieced section. I have always heard that the larger (in this case longer) piece should be on the bottom because the feed dogs help ease in the extra fabric. Alex Anderson...

I guess I did my job. She left with a mountain of my fabric (LOL), a borrowed cutting mat, Alex Anderson's "Begin Quilting" and a list of tools she absolutely must have. I showed her how to straighten the edge of fabric, measure the strip, square up the ruler and cut with steady pressure (away from...

No surgery. Postponed for a good 3 months for now. I was working my way up in hours of walking without das boots.....snapped the bone just above the 'plate' area. I was being extremely careful and KNOW I didn't bang it or drop anything on it. In the long run, I'm glad it was that and NOT a...

About three weeks ago, I was up at the crack of dawn finishing up some floral arrangements that needed to be out the door by 9:30. I had the local PBS channel on in the background. One of the quilt shows had a woman demonstrating this nifty plastic template for a quilt-as-you-go wedding ring...

I posted some new pictures of a Mariners Table Center I made as a sample for a paper peicing and free motion class I will be teaching. Also new QI photos. Mary in Washington http://community.webshots.com/user/moondancewa

I figured out how to attach a piece of cotton fabric to a piece of freezer paper and run it through my printer. Naturally, I did a test and washed a portion of it and the whole pictures disappeared. Is there a way to run this through your printer and put it on a quilt? I'm thinking of having my...

I finally have the first of two I Spy tops completely pieced with borders added. This is for my DGS, Gavin, either for Christmas or for his birthday depending on when I get both quilts totally done and quilted. ; ) I added two of each fussy cut square to the top so he can play match games...

Three of us left Fri. afternoon and got a room for two nights to get lots of stitching done. We visited two quilt shops as well. The housekeepers thought we were strange when all we wanted was new towels and saw all our stuff everywhere ans two sewing machines working away. We got lots done. ...

Just to warn you, I have received three emails from eBay to enter to win a new car by clicking on the link. It's NOT from eBay! Do NOT click on the link! The addy looks like eBay and the graphics look like eBay, but their fraud dept. at says it's not from them and do...

Okay. Here's the plan. While you are out shopping for embroidery floss to match the comforter so you can practice your buttonhole stitching on the long cut, you might as well buy one of those cardboard, sort of accordion fold things to put on top of your bedding. I had to use our bed for...

Hi everyone.... I'm doing some spring cleaning in my sewing room today. For now, I have a grouping of Coca-Cola fabrics that are up for grabs. There are 5 pieces. They were salesman samples and are odd sized, but large. I think they would equal out to at least a fat quarter each. About 27" long by...

Anyone going to be there? I'll be there from 10 am - 4pm on Saturday, June 26, with the rest of the Project Linus coordinators that are attending our PL National Conference that week. I'd love to meet up with any of you who will be there that day. -- Donna in Idaho Project Linus Boise/SW Idaho...

I'm beginning to look for a sewing machine cabinet. Actually I'm looking for the kind like Quilter's Dream from Horn of America, since I would have it open all the time. I'd love to have your comments on quality, features to look for, recommended manufacturers, good sources,...

I haven't used it in a while and I can't remember if you spray the backing fabric or the batting? Lorraine

Hi All, I had no idea that all gel pens weren't permanent until I reviewed the responses to my last post. Sure enough, the pens I chose are not colorfast. Is there any way to set the ink or will this have to be a "no wash" quilt? There are over 200 blocks and I have other things to do so I have...
