I got this sent to me. It doesn't help me because for some reason our state doesn't let out the information for the site to get. I think this is good and my state should be on her too. All you do is type in your address and a map comes up showing your house and little squares of where the perverts...

On topic stuff first: NAYY (never even been -- just found this brochure around town last week) Apparently Michigan is becoming the home of a new quilt retreat program (in Hillman -- btween Alpena and Gaylord). They have a URL if any of you are interested -- www.quilterretreat.com Without...

Ok, so I have a friend who has decided to marry sometime next spring (how's that for a date?) and I have decided that an Irish Chain Quilt will be the gift. So I have been looking at the different patterns, and decided I don't like the way Marcia does it on her site. So I found one at...

This may be a silly question, but here goes....Has anyone here mailed or received a postcard, sans envelope, that has a fabric back? If so, does the stamp stick well to the fabric? I mailed one this morning, but I intentionally put a watercolor paper postcard back on it, because I really wasn't...

My DW surprised me on my birthday with a Janome 6500!! I have a 9500 but was lusting after a machine with more throat and more room under the presser foot. The ladies at the Local sewing shop called her and told her I would like it and she bought it for me. Can't wait till they come in hopefully...

Tonight I learned that you know you are a quilter when you follow the odd blue dog paw prints and find at the end of the trail a dog that has chewed your just opened new wash away pen that you planned using to mark quilting lines. At least it was easy to clean and I don't think she ate much of the...

at my yahoo album, you can see how my 54 40 or fight quilt ended up. I began this project in 2005, having always wanted a blue and white quilt. Friend Betty had made this pattern in green and cream and I hand quilted it for her in a trade off which I'll explain in a minute. DH liked the green...

Well, tempter the giddiness with the mild sadness that Mom and Dad MOVED OUT TODAY!!! oh, wait, that didn't sound too sad. But I do miss them. really. They will only be about 4 hours away from us, on a little island on VAs coastline, so not a huge distance to drive. But......I have my sewing...

If you don't feel like reading a majar rnt, then please skip. Don't say I didn't warn you. Here it is 10:30 at night and my husband is leaving to go to the local gym to work out. He leaves the house, gets into his truck and starts it up. Before he backs out, he's wanting his jacket in the front...

well, we finally got pics of the granddaughter born Sat. morning. She has an amazing amount of hair! (grin). My own kids were close to bald. Still no word on baby #3 (for March 2006) http://community.webshots.com/user/marigolds22 Marilyn in sunny Alberta

I had a short work day (3 hours) so got to do some quilty stuff. Finished a star block and started picking fabrics and patterns for the b'day blocks for the rest of this year. Also printed clue 3 for the mystery quilt. I work again tomorrow but hope to sew on Wednesday after I get the last of...

Author & artist Gina Mohammed has created a whimsical series of 25 stained glass wildflower patterns which she calls The Northern Wildflowers Collection. The collection includes favourites like the Black-eyed Susan, Dutchman's Breeches, Water Lily, and White Trillium, along with a few exotics like...

Hi everyone, I thought I found the answer to my difficulty in quilting large quilts when I read the Mile-a-Minute quilt book -- this describes how you construct panels 20" wide, layer and quilt them, then join the panels with seams, and cover the seams with long 2" wide strips. It sounded great...

Hi, Does anyone use these generic presser feet: The Big Foot for freemotion quilting or The Little Foot for quarter inch seams? I've done some research and read in the archives but the posts I read were a bit old. How do they hold up in time? Any cracking? I read one reviewer who said her...

This is the link to my project that I mentioned earlier http://www.quakertownquilts.com/potpourri.shtml Has anyone else done this before? Flossy Queen of Plaids

Finished baby quilt for friend's baby. Kara (granddaughter, turning 1 in a couple of weeks) decided that a baby quilt required Extra Special Inspection, and nominated herself as Inspector. So the quilt has been carefully felt for texture (front and back), played peekaboo under, and Test Napped....

Somewhere in one of your photo pages I've seen a picture of a Karen Stone four patch quilt. I can't seem to find that pattern anywhere. Help? joan

Tonight or tomorrow the blue and the red star quilt tops will be posted at WebShots and on my website under http://home.att.net/~rewicker and on WebShots either under my name or Bennefeld as my daughter Elizabeth is posting them. My grandson Jesse Owen is about to imbark on an adventure by going...

Ok ladies and gents, I got you started on your BOM last night. Enjoy it and have some fun for me. I have to step away for a short time. Things kind of blew up in my family during the night/early this morning. I will be on my way back to Indiana as soon as the arrangements are finalized to say my...
