We certainly getting the shopping opportunities lately, haven't we? Do you suppose any of the messages ever result in a sale? Seems like it wouldn't be worth the time it takes to write the stupid ad. -- Kathyl remove "nospam-" before mchsi http://community.webshots.com/user/kathylquiltz

I hate paper piecing, especially when I'm brain-addled. But no other way to get those sharp pointies for a sunburst. I'm waiting for the sewing machine that will do difficult, precision stitching for you. You know how bread machines work? Well I want a sewing machine like that so when I'm...

Ok, so I just made three mistakes in a row! Does that mean it is time to stop for now! YES! I made three blocks for the HUG, two of which came out wrong. So I have to remake those. But I had pieces of those sewn togeher, and decided to use my time wisely and stitch on another block whilst...

I'm trying to write my monthy article for my guild newsletter. We have recently switched formats, but I have not had any feedback on my previous articles. The focus (at least of my column) switched from the same-old, same-old "Wanda Sue and Betty Lou won blocks. Congratulations, Ladies. Don't...

It seems that interesting mornings seem to be the thing for the day. Mine started last night. DD, who didn't take much of a nap and then ran around like a nut in the back yard for over an hour dozed off early, so I put her in the crib. At 9pm she was wide awake, and I had just gotten DS into...

We have been trying to move out of our current house for one with more space for 2 years now. Every time things are looking good something happens to put a stop to it. We had finally taken our mobile home off the market and decided to buy a lot for a modular and the modular dealer agreed to buy...

Hoewel, Arjen Jongeling is hier nog nooit geweest en ik denk dat Arjen Jongeling hier ook nooit meer zal terugkomen. Sterker nog, Arjen Jongeling zit hier helemaal fout. Maar ja, het doet het goed in de Google archieven.

I just saw an addition to the Frappr map from Arlene in Garner, NC. Are you new here? Long-time lurker? Girl, you are just up the street from me - I'm in Apex! Are you in the Capital Quilter's Guild?

Reminds me of a gentleman I met many years ago. He lost his right arm in a sledding accident as a young child. To teach him how to use his left arm, his mother taught him how to embroider. -- Mary http://community.webshots.com/user/mardor1948 "Michelle" wrote in...

Well on several shows this a.m. it was revealed (even by Rush) that Arnold's first move based on Buffet's advice would be to increase property tax. Calfiornia has long been under a Prop 13 regulation where the change is tax only goes into place when the house/property has been sold. Otherwise,...

I am watching a decorating show on the women's channel called, Arresting Design. It is wonderful. The lady of the house was arrested and sent to a spa while decoraters and her DH decorate her home. They organized her quilting stash into baskets and hung one of her quilts on the wall. It...

Why have I not heard one arg today -- when everyone should know 'tis Talk Like a Pirate Day? rusty

I hate doing things twice! I have another Minkee-sorta question. Don't know if I'm out to lunch, but if I'm not, I'll drop some other stuff of the top of the to-do list for this one. How complicated is it to make a Minkee Bear? Long story short: I have a colleague in the hospital, ICU - it's...

I was merrily cutting 1-1/2 inch strips for a swap, when it was time to go to a party. Stupid me left the cutting mat on the living room coffee table (no sewing room as yet), because I KNEW I had to finish by Monday am. Returned home from the party, woke up this morning... went to cut a few...

So, I also peruse a men's quilting group on Yahoo. One of the members very suddenly passed away two weeks ago at the age of 41. What is known as a HUG quilt on RCTQ was proposed for his partner. So, the members were divided up by region of the country to make a block according to the Rainbow...
