takes a new twist. An american soldier and his superiors from Iraq have uncovered $5 million they want to share with me. Geeze talk about bad taste. What tipped me off? I have never ever heard of an American called Flans. Yep - Flans. -- Sharon from Melbourne Australia (Queen of Down...

A friend asked mo to quilt a wall hanging as going-away gift for her co-worker. She wants sometime along the theme of "dogs playing poker". I saw a panel 36x44, but I think that may be a bit too garrish for someone to hang on an office wall. I've never done a wall hanging and need ideas.

Hej! I've received squishies from members of this group over the years and sent a few as well. However, I feel shy about sending fabric unless I am 100% positive that it is 100% cotton. I have some cute fat quarters that I think may be only about 80% cotton. The fabrics definitely have a high...

Hiya, I just discovered a BIG mistake in the cutting instructions of the WHITE fabric - it's big enough to affect the fabric requirements! please go to my website and download the new fabric and cutting instructions! sorry!!

Bear with me, please, this isn't your usual wash-or-not question. First, I always wash fabric first. But I participated in a "Block of the Month" at LQS in which the lady pre-cut the fabric into very small blocks for piece cutting. Too small to wash, I thought. So I put the thing together...

I am making several quilted denim covers to go over old comforters for the local dogs home. The ends are open to allow for replacement of the comforter and for washing. Where can I get snaps that don't get sewed on but heavy duty ones that go through and anchor "in" the fabric? I need them to be...

OK, y'all know a bit about the lawsuit we are in regarding the house. Well, as most things like this do, it is taking far more in legal fees than we had anticipated, though DH says he knew it would cost a lot, even if we don't recoup any of it. With regards to the financial issues developing...

Well, I did it! I now have a Bernina Aurora QE 440. I should be loosing weight very soon since I can no longer afford to buy cookies, ice cream or anything that isn't necessary to sustain life. I'm off to play... -- Bonnie NJ

Jerry, I have the RCTQ logo in PES format. I'll figure out how to send it to you if you have a way to convert it to something you can use, or I'll convert it and then send it. Just let me know. Donna in Bellevue

At the Spring Fayre I helped at today I bought a packet of odd sewing bits - Stitch Ripper, needle threaders, stencil for hexagonals etc. Included was a Singer lightbulb (dead) and a small 1.3/4" bar which looks like a thread holder from a sewing machine. One end is drilled out and threaded to...

Three nights ago we had a "Septic Event". Enough said. The results are that the floor of one downstairs bathroom and my sewing room are ruined. Carpet will have to be ripped out and burned. Yes, I lost a bit of fabric. Baskets on the floor and a couple of undisciplined stacks on the floor were...

I got an iPod for mothers day from my girls (and dh) and was wondering if there were any podcasts about quilting, quilts, quilters, etc besides the one that Alex Anderson has. I already subscribe to hers - it's pretty good! TIA - -- ~~~~~~~ Laurie G. in...

Gotcha with that one didn't I? Well, here's what I have to say... I am proud to welcome our new BOM hostess to the scene. Her capable hands, loving heart and artistic eye should make the coming year a treat for us all! So everyone put your hands together in appreciation for.... JESSAMY!!!!!

Got it finished with a couple of days to spare and sent it along with friends that were attending today's wedding. I hope Ryan and Ashley have a wonderful wedding and that they like my gift for them. http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-O_YyjG41fqRlREWIfOm.oTtuWg--?cq=1 -- Debi Chaos, panic and...

This one store had FQs like I've never seen them before. They were folded up in a triangle like a flag. They looked so nice in the basket. I've always seen them rolled or folded. Pami

At the Columbus quilt show, Gen gave me an embroideried RCTQ Logo. Where can I download the design? Is it available in a variety of file formats? We have a Bernina 640E and Editor Plus software but I am really inexperienced. I would like to use the RCTQ Logo design to create name tags for me...

Hi, my name is jodi and i have recently moved to berlin and just yesterday scored myself a beautiful old singer treadle machine! Unfortunately the old leather belt is broken and I need to find a way to substitute it. Stockings didn't work I am afraid as it slips. I don't speak deutsch yet so...
