Anyone have some great online shopping sites for fabric? I just went crazy ordering Civil War repros for an applique quilt I want to make ... I bought some from Connecting Threads (NAYY) and still wasn't happy ... then I found www.fatquartershop.com (NAYY) purely by accident! Found some really...

This has nothing to do with quilting but hopefully someone here might have an answer to a little problem. Today I went to Joann's to find something for 2nd grade kiddies for Valentines' Day as dh and I were invited for a Grandparent's luncheon at school. I found a little kit to make V. Day...

Has anyone here made a "puff" quilt? I saw a picture of one while surfing and thought it was adorable (and a great way to practice some hand stitching on a trip I'm taking). I'm gong to make a little QI bed - shouldn't take too long and it will be a fairly small quilt (QIs being 2 rather plump...

Last week in JoAnns, I spotted a set of double wedding ring templates on the damaged shelf, I quick inspection revealed the damage was just the sand paper circles were missing, but the price was marked as half price. So I bought them! I was in there again today and on the regular shelf I...

It's so wonderful to be a part of the group where there can be such an outpouring of love and concern for members - most of which we will never meet!! Tom is MUCH better - quite back to his normal self, in fact! However, it is a fast mover and has decided that Bek needed to get it as well. sigh ...

Hi I'm wondering if anyone knows where I might find, on-line, some free applique patterns for a basket. I'm needing one to add to a round robin I have (and keep procrastinating on, but swap date is coming up fast). It need to be fairly large. thanks in hopes Hugs Elly --...

Hi Guys, Well, its finally official and I am going to Berlin with DH this June. He is going for the ASME/IGTA Conference so ALL of his expenses will be covered by the company. He's just finished making my plane reservations and OY that was expensive enough. Thank heavens the cost of the...

A couple of years ago (I think) someone posted, asking for everyone's favorite shops for batik fabrics. I picked out a few, and bought from a couple. But, now, of course, one new computer later, I lost that site! So -- once again, people -- do you have a super-favorite place to get batiks? The...

I find myself in possession of 100 clear plastic envelopes that are 4 5/16" wide x 4 1/4" long with adhesive strip for closing. They are available to anyone who wants them. -- Denny in Fort Wayne http://community.webshots.com/user/kiteflyer54 /\

Would like to hear from our quilt buddies in VA and the Carolinas. Is everyone safe from the wildfires?? Karen, Queen of Squishies -- and when you get the chance to sit it out or dance....... I hope you dance

Hi folks, Here are my choices for this months BOM it was hard choosing as there were a few I liked:D http://www.quilterscache.com/R/RedCross2Block.html New from QC - ordinary piecing, I liked the colours on this one. http://www.quilterscache.com/W/WhirlingStar2Block.html PP or regular, ...

Remember back when I was recovering from having my spine fused together and then had to have my left hip joint replaced and I won't bring up the less major health hurtles and get right to the point. You blessed souls sent me red, white and blue materials (that's because I am an overseas Navy...

My very own Featherweight! It needs a thread holder on top, it has a makeshift one that wobbles, but even with the wobbles it has a beautiful stitch. It needs a good cleaning and there was no manual and I'm assuming it needs oiled and stuff. But the main thing right now is to get rid of the...

I'm going to Sisters! I'll be there the 8th and 9th and early the 10th of July. I am so excited I could scream. We'll be staying in Bend because there are no rooms in Sisters itself. Is anybody else going? Maybe we can meet up. Guys, I can't begin to tell you how wonderfully this new year...

well it only seems like a few weeks since I was on here telling you all about my pregnancy. I am half way through now and had another scan at the hospital yesterday to check on development. The doctor was also able to show us that the bump is a boy! I have mixed feelings about another son - we...

Should I use plain cotton for binding on a t-shirt quilt? Or make it from the t-shirt scraps (I have lots)? There's no sashing. TIA Lobo ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Delete the obvious to reply to me personally. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It pours. I got my featherweight a week ago. Yesterday, we began the task of cleaning out my SIL's house and Lo & Behold, my MIL who died last summer had apparently purchased a Jenome Gem Gold right before her death. I couldn't find the manual and the only foot I found was a wide one, but if...

You received this knock on your internet door, because I have been Commissioned to deliver a very important message to a particular People, one of which just might be you. Most have forgotten their Celestial Heritage, but I'm hoping something I'll say will wake that sleeping mode of their inner...

As if chocolate is really OT.... http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22903236/ OK, how many of y'all are buying me a box of Godiva for Valentine's day? Can't hope that DH or kiri will do it because you can't get them locally.

As I fall victim to my quickly growing obsession...I'm reading away everything I can get my hands on and seeing what styles "speak" to me. I love the kaleidoscope quilts, dimensions and depth play in the block quilts, and the awesome designs of the mariners compass designs. I'm plugging away on my...
