For some reason, I can't get my brain wrapped aound this. It should be simple - and so am I should it should be a match, right? My wife finally got her quilt top finished, or the main part anyway. It's a Rail Fence design. She wants to put a border around it with squares of different material. ...

I started my morning VERY EARLY today. Our local Masonic lodge is in dire need of a new roof; which will cost about $200,000. I kid you not. Someone built this building with a flat roof in a very rainy area. It was a poor choice and the roof leaks in many places. We've replaced as many...

This last weekend DH and I went to Lille France for the weekend. Why Lilli? We it was on special for the train and for cheap we could jump on a high speed train (TGV) and 2.5 hours later be in a totally different part of the country. While there we found the "largest" book store in Europe. Don't...

As I was browsing the web seeking information on sewing machines and their motive parts, I ran across this: https://atlaslevy.3dcartstores.com/Reliable-426HAB_p_3-503.html I just had to look and see what a five thousand dollar ironing board did. I am more accustomed to passive ironing boards,...

I read my RCTQ through Outlook Express (6). The are set to view by group -- so follow-up posts stay with the initial post which are listed by date/time. (although it doesn't seem to make a difference to my problem if I change it to chronological listing of posts.) The problem is that not all...

I just got notice that my wall hanging was chosen for the "Voice that is Mighty Within Me" road show. I have no idea what venues it will show in or for how long, or anything else. All I know is that once it leaves my hands next week it won't be home for two years. It has a price tag and I sorely...

My neighbor is 71 and wants to sell her great aunt's treadle SM. We can find little on the net about this brand. As the story goes, her great aunt wanted a new treadle so her husband ordered it from New Orleans. It had to be brought up river by boat, then off loaded onto a freight wagon and...

I have pieced and quilted a Blooming Nine Patch ( pictured in my Album) Its the purple coloured one. I made the mistake of quilting all around the centre pale part as I did nt have the right thread colour. Now it is too puffy to quilt and puckers, so I have decided to applique a new centre and...

Yesterday there was an feature in the Daily Press about Quilts of Valor, with emphasis on the part my local guild has taken in this activity. I can't seem to copy and paste the link, but you can go to: dailypress.com then put the word quilts in the search box. My little group of four has...

DH and I are making a quick overnight trip to Ft. Myers, FL on Monday. I was wondering if there are any quilt/fabric stores that are a "must see" in Ft. Myers just in case I can talk him into a bit of S.E.X. I've been googling but haven't come up with much yet. If I can talk him into letting me...

Here's an interesting math "puzzle" - just in case you're bored - or want to take a break from quilting (or, in my case, shovelling snow!) Personally I would like to know who came up with this..., Grab a calculator (you won't be able to do this one in your head)! [This will work for US...

The wife of one of my co-workers suffers from a debilitating disease and has been in a wheel chair for quite some time. Until about a year ago, she was able to drive and pretty much get around on her own, but she then was diagnosed as having melanoma for the second time. It's been a difficult...

Please advise which brands were reviewed int he Quilter's Home mag by Mark L. Would like to know which one works best before I start making a jacket back. Thanks for your help. Bunny

Well, I just bought one at a thrift shop for $20. It's a "portable" with a cute little carrying case, even though it weighs a ton. Solid metal, motor on the back, beautiful -- gleaming silver and deep aqua blue. It purrs like a kitten and sews beautifully. Only problem is, I can't make it sew...

Larisa called me last night after the craft show, for the first time in years. It was so good to hear her voice on the other end. I think she's going to make it now. So on her behalf, thank you for all your prayer and support during this trying time. I know her posts get a little long and...
