Did anyone go last weekend? It was nice, but not as large as last year. We heard rumors that it will be held in a new location next year. I got to see lots of patterns, fabrics and gadgets, and a one hour lecture by Jennie Rayment. Also, I bought a gorgeous quilt kit called "Raise the...

While taking a class today on projects to reduce stash, we were asked if we had to move ....would our stash fit into a small pickup, a dump truck, or a tractor trailor? We had several in the first two catagories, but no one in the third! Where would you fit? -- Alice in PA

It seems that I just can't get to my quilting. Everything else seems to get in the way! I did make a wreath wallhanging to donate to my church bazaar. The pattern was the same as one I'd made a couple years ago. I also sewed some leftover strips together to make a baby quilt similar to one I...

Saw on the news at noon that New Orleans and Houston had snow today. Bet those gators are freezing!!! -- Alice in PA http://community.webshots.com/user/twosonsatpsu

While looking for some last-minute gift ideas, I came upon this site. http://www.uncommongoods.com/item/item.jsp?itemId=16406&source=hp_item_text Do you really think a non-sewist could put together a quilt using Minkee and octagon templates? It does get good reviews! -- Alice in...

Last fall I damaged my favorite winter coat by getting too close to a propane heater at a football game. I couldn't wear it the way it was, so I got adventurous and "appliqued" some leaves over the bad area. You can see pictures of my repair at the end of my "Other Projects" album. I'm happy...

I leave in the morning to drive to Virginia for four days of qulting and classes! I'll be meeting friends there, including Pat from VA! I'm all packed, but haven't loaded everything into the car yet. I can't believe how much stuff I have! I'll be taking classes from Bonnie Hunter...

On the last page of my Webshots Quilt album. The drunkard's path table topper was made using a machine applique process for doing the quarter circles. It's not the best thing I've ever made, but I hate to waste anything, and it's perfect for my bachelor son's apartment! The Log Cabin quilt...

The last two photos in my Webshots Quilt album show the second scrappy tumbler quilt I've made. Even though it looks like I used a lot of tumblers, I still have tons left!! They are fun to do, and provide a great place to practice free-motion quilting! -- Alice in...

the photo of a baby quilt recently that had bright colors, nine patches in the center of each block, and the colors in each block formed an arrow? I wanted to keep it, or re--create it on EQ, but I can't find it. I've been reading the newsgroup on two different computers, and I'm at a loss as...

is going on this week. Anyone else going? Meeting up with friends bright and early tomorrow morning and going all day. We plan to visit quilt shops afterward..they're all staying open late..and end up with dinner in New Holland, PA. I'd better go prepare my shopping list! -- Alice in...

I hope everyone is surviving the rain and wind! The nasty weather inspired me to finish a project that I started years and years ago! My DH and I have three boys. When they were much younger, I used to make all of their boxer shorts. I worked in a fabric store, and every time there was a...

I'm having trouble getting this message through. This is the third time I've tried. I wonder where the other two went? Anyway, I've posted pictures of a small, table topper made before Christmas. Also, for those who are interested and have the time, I have a new album showing the pictures DH...

This is the third time I've tried to send this message; I don't know what's happening, but it's not showing up! Anyway, in my Webshots pages you can find pictures of a little table topper I did before Christmas. I did some FM feathers on it for practice. Also, if you have a LOT of...

I've posted a couple new pictures on my Webshots page....a small table topper that I made for friends for Christmas. You can see that I used it to practice some FM feathers. And, very off-topic, a new Album on Webshots of the pictures and videos that I took on a recent trip to New Zealand and...

Did anyone go to the Hershey Show? A friend and I spent most of the day there Friday. Lots of beautiful quilts in the show, and many, many interesting vendors. I bought one of the new thimbles mentioned in RCTQ....rubber with a metal tip. It really felt good on and didn't slip off, so can't...

I was all set to finish a table runner with some stitch-in-the-ditch stitching. I usually use my zipper foot to do this. After spendng over an hour looking, I've decided that I must have thrown it out with some scraps, etc.! My machine stores all the feet in it, and I never put them anywhere...

I thought my quilting experience might help with this game, but not so much.....I scored 9.95. http://woodgears.ca/eyeball/ -- Alice in PA http://community.webshots.com/user/twosonsatpsu

If you're interested, I've posted 5 new pictures of recently finished projects. They are the last 5 pics on page 5! -- Alice in PA http://community.webshots.com/user/twosonsatpsu

For those of you who read my post last week, I have further news.....good news. I had visited a Joanne's store for the second time to pick up an item that the staff assured me they always had on hand....but they didn't have it. I asked if I could place a special order, and after waiting almost...
