You won't believe what I've done. I don't believe what I've done. I don't even know what I've done. Our telephone area has just gone to this tedious system where we have to dial 10 digits to even call next door. Well, not exactly. Some of us but not all of us, and we were not one of the 10 digit...

I have a space above my fireplace that I'd like to make something to fill. My estimated measurement of the space was 10 feet by 2 feet. This can vary some since I didn't measure the entire space, just what I thought I would fill. My skills aren't exactly earthshattering, but I'd like to do...

Does anyone have any experience doing fragmanted patterns? Are they strip piece or what is the trick to these patterns? Newbie here, thanks

DD#1 in hospital with pre-eclampsia; is at full term, inducing or c-sectioning tomorrow. They're having a lot of trouble getting her blood pressure down. Good thoughts wanted....... http://freepages.family.rootsweb.com/~piglet/waiting.jpg --pig --

One of my WIPs wants to be quilted in a Baptist (or Methodist or choose your denomination) Fan design. I know hand-quilting is supposed to be done from the center out, but with this design, shouldn't it be done from one corner across? Do I need to baste more closely if I do it this way (rather...

I'm looking for a Mammy doll pattern. My cousin bought one a few years ago at a gift shop in FL, but she doesn't remember the name of the shop. This doll stands about 3' and under the skirt is down turned fruit basket which helps the doll stand up. This doll was probably the makers own creation,...

HI all, Would anyone know of a site that I can download/print off a pattern for a Quilters Tote Bag.. Looking for something that will hold my mat 17 x23, one or two rulers 24" and the cutters etc,, I don't wish to have them running around free in the bag, so they will need a little pocket to fit...

Be prepared to laugh your asterisks off, and then to have it stuck in your brain. Warning - do NOT show this to any teen girls if you ever want them to sing anything else. http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/llama.php -- Wendy http://griffinsflight.com/Quilting/quilt1.htm "Well.... I *do* love...

I just got this from another group I'm in. It's sooo funny I had to share. I have a really BAD habit of sayin "fixin' to". Babs SOUTHERN GIRLS Someone once noted that a Southerner can get away with the most awful kind of insult just as long as it's prefaced with the words, "Bless her

Well I have an update. All day long I was feeling lower than blue. My DH was mad. I was feeling resigned. But I just couldn't get past it and asked my husband to read the rules objectively. I had been trying to all night. He said that at best that they were ambiguous. He could see why I had...

Well, I finally did it. I have never been to the Janome place before so I went today. It is about 50 minutes from me. I have a VERY basic Brother. It is an XR-31 which has been a work horse that I will keep forever. It has no features though. I bought a Computerized Brother CS-8072 for myself...

Sugar Puff has a gammy leg! She visited the vet this am, but the (new lady) vet, like me, could find no obvious sign of injury. We feel Ms Kitty has 'fell off of a fence' and pulled a muscle. She got a pain and anti-inflammatory shot. She was allowed to have Cornflakes sick kitty quilt in the...

I am still reeling from the announcement so I will only tell you that I found out about an hour ago that I am to be a Grandma again! Around mid-October they think. My son and his wonderful wife just found out they are expecting! They weren't actively planning, but weren't preventing either. ...

This is my Starflake pattern made into a wall hanging. First two pics in folder "my work". The quilting on the back kind of gets lost in the picture but you get the idea. http://community.webshots.com/user/hicall Karen, Queen of Squishies --

JoAnn's is having a big sale this weekend. I couldn't resist. (You know, that look I got at the check out counter when she lowered her eyes at me and said, "You're a quilter aren't you?") 10 Fat Quarters @ .99 12 yards, count em, 12 yards worth of quilting remnants at 66% off 2 yards of print...

I'm taking a Lone Star class at my LQS. It's my first class ever and so much fun. We sewed and pressed our strip sets. I had never starched fabric before. It's like cutting and sewing paper! Our homework is to cut the strip sets and we'll be assembling them Thursday. I can't wait! So I stuck...

DH says he only "half" heard it - but there was just something on our tv news about Australia being hit by a 180 mph wind. Being mindful that DH's hearing is not exactly half to begin with, I don't know what he might have heard. Would all of our Ozzies please let us know that you are okay? ...

DS has really been struggling in school the last few months. I have been telling DH and DS that I think a major part of the problem is that DS's ADD meds were changed from Adderall to Strattera. Both of the male members of my family have been blowing me off (usually I take care of medical issues,...

One of our quilt guild members brought this to our meeting today - thought you all would enjoy it. My Motto: No one expects the stamp collector to actually mail letters with his stamps. No one expects the coin collector to use his coins in a vending machine for soda. So why does everyone expect...
