Hi all, Does anyone know of a really good fabric store in Scotland? I live in Dundee but am having trouble finding any shop that sells a really good range of quality quilting fabrics. Don't really want to buy online because I much prefer seeing what I'm going to buy. Hope someone can...

The mother-to-be picked everything out in pink and brown from the Restoration Hardware Baby catalog (don't even ASK how much stuff costs there...) and so I matched her colors: http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/album/565605178NGhuYD I am making one more for this baby, the last one will be the...

http://www.quilts.com/home/ just about 2 months away! anyone going? I will set up a database for this year on http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HoustonIQF/ if y'all want me to. Probably won't be there on Friday or Saturday. We already have about 3 things going on each of those days, but might...

So this last weekend, DH and I were in a town on the Mosel river in Germany and between swilling wine and eating German food at a fest, I wandered into an antique store. There on the floor sitting on its case was a featherweight it was made in Canada, with its manual clearly in several languages...

When Hurricane Gustav was coming at us, I took my very own precious, beloved Hug and carefully put it out of harm's way. I pulled it around me and snuggled its messages around me first. (Once upon a hurricane, someone took one of my quilts and nailed it over a blown-out window and I didn't...

Well, the shop to which I take the machine for maintenance called. He said if it were me, I'd trade it; it just relapsed again! So I'm getting a new model; not quite sure which yet. The shop gave me a *very* nice price for the old one too. Thanks for all your help! Martha

Hi! I am so glad that it's September! Summer in Iowa has been kind of a bust with all the flooding. Out of 99 counties, 98 were declared Disaster areas. Anyway -- to be on topic -- I have some wonderful metallic fabric in my ever-growing stash. I can't seem to get enough of the "Fairy Frosts."...

Here is a link to the latest and last in the series of Munchkin cabinets. This one was necessitated by my movement of the Janome db from my sewing room, upstairs to the Quilt gallery. There really isn't any storage space up there for the various notions that go along with that particular machine. I...

My DH would like to get into woodworking. My son needs a new dresser, and so DH thought if we could find some plans perhaps he would give it a shot. I know you do your own creations without using someone else's plans, but thought you may know of a good source for some. Any ideas? TIA!!! --...

http://www.quilterstv.com/ In mid August, this ruler was mentioned in Polly's 'comfort zone' discussion - for anyone who might be interested, one of the videos available on quilters' tv demonstrates the use of this ruler. Other new videos available include Victory Quilts segments from Paducah...

Hi everyone, I rejoined a little while back after a year or so away from the group. It's been a bittersweet year for me. You all helped me with my first quilt, with encouragement and ideas. Thank you. My daughter got married; a budget affair that turned out beautifully. DH and I went on a long...

I was wondering if there's a meaning to the word scotland that doesn't refer to it's geographical location or statehood? Musicmaker

Has anyone bought the new sharpener for the blades in their cutter. Are they good. Will be going to the Birmingham Quilt show uk next week. Hoping to get one there. Vernie uk

Is anybody going to the festival of Quilts at the NEC? I'm going on Saturday which I'm really looking forward to! Sarah

Hi Everyone, Does anyone have the JoAnn's coupons we can print and take in. Found a book but have already used the current one that was mailed to the home. Thank you so much in advance. Debbi in SO CA

I have just pulled out the cards I have to see what they offer. I realized that I have not been to a quilt shop that I have a card for since 2005 or the last time I had it punched was then. It is possible I had put it away for awhile while watching my budget and didn't have the funds to purchase...

I finally got this recipe from Mom. I know Kate that it doesn't help you any, but you still might be interested in it for the future. It is totally decadent and totally bad for you and practically makes your teeth hurt when you eat it, but it is so good. Ejnoy Steven Alaska

I'd not heard of these twins before ..but lovely work !! Mary http://www.opb.org/programs/artbeat/videos/view/183-Lisa-Lori-Lubbesmeyer

My scrap bin is wayyyyy too full and I would love to get rid of the fabric. All the scraps are cotton and there isn't nothing really small. If you love scraps I would be willing to send them to anyone who could use them. There is enough for 2 or 3 people. Please email me at the...

I'm going to visit my bestest friend, who has just moved from New York state to Dana Point, CA. My trip down there was to coincide with the moving van showing up, but I'm arriving tomorrow, leaving Wednesday & the moving van is showing up Tuesday - maybe. So - we have to find something to...
