Somewhere in the back of my brain I disremembereddededd that ONE of you loves and collects seahorses. Just can make my brain tell me your name. This is a new-to-me fabric line that you might...

Happy BD Jacqueline and best wishes that surgery turns out to be a wonderful BD prezzie! Marilyn in Alberta, Canada

I haven't been reading or posting much lately but wanted to say "HI" to all and that you are thought of. I will get back on-line when I am feeling better. I hope all our Texas (and near-Texas) friends are OK after the recent tornadoes. Hugs to all those who need a little Aussie comfort. --

There's a quilt growing in my head that uses a whole passle of 1930's repros that read as green or green with white. Anyone got a favorite purveyor of such goods, or any bits just collecting dust? : -) I've got bunnies, dogs, kittens, bears, checks, flowers, etc... Elephants would be a real...

Spoke to oncologist who went down to look at my films....my doctor wants me to get a mammogram of that breast (the remaining real one) ....he thinks it might not be bone cancer but the left breast might be affected in someway showing up on the scan looking like a cancer....I can deal with this...

Will any of you be at MQX in Manchester, NH next week? I'll be there for part of every day (live near enough to commute) and would love to have somebody to talk to there :-) Rita L. -- http://community.webshots.com/user/ggollymm

Just thought I'd let y'all know that I made it to Dallas just fine (flapped really hard and the flight only took an hour). So far nothing exciting going on, other than stepping off a curb wrong at the airport and screwing up my knee. It should be fine though. If anyone needs to get in touch with...

I haven't posted here in awhile....life or something like it!!! But, I am now ready to quilt a finish top and I can't find my power cord to the sewing machine. We have recently replaced every piece of flooring in the house and stuff got packed up and moved out and moved back in. Anyway, I...

I planned to do some machine quilting tonight but had to put it off. I did yard work today and now my arms don't want to work. My eyes are all dried out from an allergic reaction to pollen, so now I'm off to get a nice cool compress for them. Debra in VA See my quilts at...

Did anyone happen to have seen the decorating show last Saturday on HGTV in the early afternoon? It was something along the lines of 101 ways to make your home more Springlike (NOT the actual title!) Joan Steffend was the hostess (Decorating Cents is her usual show). Near the end they were...

I need help making something with 4 Christmas fat quarters. The idea is to use as much of the fat quarters as you can. One fat quarter doesn't really go with the others - it is blue with gold stars and angels - so it could be the back. The others are one green, red & white strips, one green...

So, I've got a suitcase with Son's old tee-shirts and would like to make a quilt for the Kidlet. I am an experienced hand stitcher -- However, I'd like to cut out the t's and be "ready" for the next project. Theory is as follows (and please, if this won't work, let me know) Layer muslin face down...

I have been asked to do a presentation at our April guild meeting on 'quilting rulers' -- and I was just wondering if there are any places online that would have some information and examples. (I don't want to re-invent the wheel....) Have you ever done this? I need to do a handout with it, I...

I have had a few emails asking why I have been so quiet lately (is that an indirect comment on how "noisy" I usually am? lol). Thanks to those who asked, I have been a bit under the weather but am getting better now - just very tired. I haven't been even reading the ng, but my best wishes...

I'm still working on the second one - between other projects, of course! But, here's the link for the "Hope" banner. Larisa http://new.photos.yahoo.com/nystitcher1972/photo/294928804281597469/0 please tell me if the link is working sigh

Hi Guys, It is Sunday AM here and we leave for Europe in the early PM and this post is back up protection for my meet with Jessamy. I'm supposed to meet up with her Tuesday but I don't know exactly *how* or at what time that will happen. I haven't gotten any e-mail telling me if she will...

I have been oodling this off my LQS website since they put it up, about 4 weeks ago. DH left today for the week and I am on my own! I didn't buy a lot because it was a little more expensive then the regular fabric, but I got 1/3 yard of all except the rust (which isn't Australian), of which I...

Here is a biggie concern of mine. I always wash a new quilt when I am finished, and I may have a problem. I distinctly remember washing the purple in my Dresden Plate, however, I had to buy some more and I can't remember if I washed it. What do I do to prevent any bleeding? It would ruin the...

Hello all ! I have put 2 new pictures on my album, a self portrait for our group challenge,( not sure if I need to do quilting on it, a bit bumpy) and a Fibonacci thing( dislike it) for a container for college project.I have been having problems sorting out the link to my photos and have started...
