Just in case you've missed it, I think maybe the postage rates went up this morning. If you're paying bills or writing your congressman, you'll need a 41¢ stamp. That probably means that our online S.E.X. just went up 5%. And furthermore, if you want to really impress your friends, you can...

Hi Girls, happy to tell you that the first exam has passed quietly and I hope also well. It was a composition about lack of communication related to the increasing solitude of great cities. (sorry I can't explain it better now, I'm quite tired..) Also I liked to wrote about a passage from...

I found this link on a Yahoo quilting group. I don't know if any of you ladies and gentlemen have seen it before. http://www.bernina.nl/gallery-fO-n54-sEN.html Gillian in SW Michigan. http://community.webshots.com/user/gothikka

Sandy asked yesterday if we knew where our Christmas quilts are. Well, I am wondering about that. I bought some nephew-themed fabric that jumped off a rack at me at the Waterloo quilt show - it had Toronto Maple Leafs (an ice hockey team) and also had cute polar bears playing goaltender. Then I...

Normally I am not a green person....deep reds and blues with cream are more my style, but I have fallen in love with the Kansas City Star book As The Crow Flies. Now I find myself strangely attracted to those solid greens behind the crows and sunflowers. I have not found a similar shade in my...

Yesterday three of my quilting friends came to my house to work on Quilts of Valor projects. It was our first get together for this. We pooled fabric and ideas and made one top and a back. A local long arm quilter will donate her services to quilt it. This quilt has assorted plaid four...

I got in touch with an old friend, nearly 10 years after we lost touch. I am so happy to be back in touch with her but also deeply saddened by what she had to tell me. Her son killed himself three weeks ago, four days after his birthday. I know how much she loves her kids and can't imagine the...

Should the binding be the same color as the border? I am doing a wall hanging for my kitchen with coffee pot panels that are done in black and deep red with some brown. The outer border is black, and the inner border is the deep red color, and I wondered if the binding should be black, or...

With help from a bunch of you, I've figured out about cutting out templates and about cutting out fabric from templates. Thank you! Now I'm starting to do some hand piecing of diamonds to make a Penrose tiling - more thanks to Patti for showing me a picture that inspired me! I'm going to do it...

If anyone has a currently valid link for a Mariner's Compass pattern to down load for foundation piecing, I'd really appreciate it. It could even be a pattern that is similar to the MC. Anywhere form 12" to 18" would be great. I only need to make one, so do not want to buy a complete pattern...

We all are headed down/up (can never figure it out) to our country home track of Bairnsdale for their Open race meet. Wish the girls luck and think of them on Sunday - that's Saturday your time for most of you!!! They'll be racing hard against probably 20 other midgets (7-11 year olds) and are...

Hello, Some of you may know I've been helping out with my friend Keiko's triplets for nearly a year now. Keiko often has live-in helpers from Japan who stay for 6 months or so, helping with the day-to-day routine of living with 3 babies, while I come along in the evenings to help with the...

Geeezzzzzzzz, Had my first class on paper piecing which I am still working on. Well, it's time to put the borders on the small wall hanging I made and I can't remember what she said about getting the paper off! I'm using my seam ripper to rip the paper but I'm afraid I'm going to accidentally...

Any suggestions on how I can stop my walking foot from slipping when I hit an especially bumpy seam? I'm putting the binding on a miniature butterfly quilt that is very thin. I'm finding it difficult to keep the walking foot on a good quarter inch seam. Every little bump of a seam sends it sliding...

For anyone like me who is using EQ5 or 6 on 'a wing and a prayer', I found this last night on the EQ website http://tinyurl.com/2zuwqm Its a Mystery Quilt that you draw yourself in EQ, and it really leads you by the hand. Apparently they did it some years ago, and have updated it for EQ 5 and...

Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday dear Pami Happy Birthday to you And many many more Butterfly (Mom II)

Dear All, I have emerged from my self-imposed graduate student hibernation and have posted pictures of another baby quilt. Completed _before_ the hibernation began. The last row of pictures is the new quilt. http://fenris.net/~lizyoung/Quilts/index.html The navigation bar that appears once you...

My parents are in the process of moving, and in going through their stuff, they found a bunch of women's handkerchiefs (something like these: http://shop.ebay.com/lace-handkerchiefs_W0QQ_nkwZlaceQ20handkerchiefs). Dad asked me to see if I could figure out what to do with them. I only thought of 3...

We're going out to a BBQ on the weekend and everyone is taking something and I need an idea for a pudding suitable for 2 diabetic little boys. Any ideas, I hate children to be left out when we are all having fun. Thanks Janner
