Just wanting people's thoughts on this. You can e-mail me privately if you wish. I'm not looking for a flame war, just some honest real life thoughts. The first website is a site you can look up the shots a lot of us received as children. The actually little piece of paper that comes with the shot...

Well, as y'all have probably figured out by now, it never just rains at my house, it pours. If things are going to happen here, they happen all at once. I believe I mentioned briefly that I was sick for a bit. Another week of fever (103-105 F) to leave me dried out and wobbly. I've no idea why...

Here it is in all its glory awaiting stretching: http://www.flickr.com/photos/12554259@N07/2319032366/ I have to say the wake is my personal, most disliked part of the quilt. Done with muslin and never to be touched again until stretched in a week or so. Eddie

A few months ago I posted PDF files for the Kool Kats Kwilt. Well, I broke down and did it, sort of. LOL, the pattern says to follow the picture to arrange cats. The scan was in black and white. It didn't really matter since I was not following the recommended cutting instructions for 13 or so...

i found on a blog a link to this 'retired' but not removed from the original website, quilt pattern. posted a link to the blog for others, who'd asked for the pattern, to a yahoo group to which i belong. the pattern is a pdf file. posting pdf file links to the group is not allowed. that is why i...

I am writing the truth and I need someone to help. I am not crazy and I am not a troll. Go to the FBI and tell them about Steve. That he is a fairly new requit, he is good looking, he's gay and he was top of his class in what he does. Tell them they just can't talk to him over the phone, they...

To whom it may concern: Some time ago our friend Nancycog in Maryland intimated that she makes wonderful chocolate chip cookies. Of course I was interested in the topic! I indicated that if her claims were true, perhaps she would consider assuming the role of RCTQ Countess of Chocolate Chip...

This is the quilt I am currently working on. It is from Missouri Star Quilt Co. I brought the pattern from them. I am using batiks but you can use just regular material of your choice. Using 4 white 2 1/2 inch squares and 5 prints, sew into a 9 patch, then take two 6 1/2 inch x 2 1/2 inch...

no msgs. read from here today. are you guys ok out there? Taria

Hello everyone! I posted here a few times about five years ago, just as I was beginning my first quilt. I was slow to get started, I think because I was scared to cut into expensive fabric without really knowing what I was doing. I'm sure you remember how it is? ;-D Anyway, long story short,...

I was looking at Dennys link to the blind quilter and found this - Ricky Tims showing how to make one seam flying geese http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78Mu0C_QL8Y&feature=related Dee in Oz

When you go to the store to get punkin pies be sure to read the box and not just look at the picture, you could be getting Sweetpotato pie. My DH brought home 2 of them so had to go back to the store to get punkin, I usually make them from scratch but not this yr. Shoulders won't take the rolling...

Some of you may know that about 4 months ago I purchased a delightful, rambling, 90 y.o. house. She's a real character (just like me!)- added on to and remodeled many times over the years. This house has 8 different levels! Some are only a step up or down, some are a few steps- and there's...

Tomorrow I will be off to the hospital for a D&C to remove some polyps I have - please send some spare good thoughts my way that *that* is all they find and all can go according to plan thanks -- Jessamy In The Netherlands Take out: so much quilting to reply.

I'm taking a week off from making samples for my Block Party (I'm the guild committee for this) to make this quilt for my mom. She just turned 75 last week, and has been asking me for a quilt for some time. Now that my shoulder has recovered somewhat, I started working on hers. It will be...

Figured I'd better check in, besides just lurking in the background. Just want to thank all of you for the prayers, good thoughts and well wishes. I really can't understand why my son hasn't been found, unless, as the detective in charge of the case says, perhaps he doesn't want to be found. ...

My mum (Sheila) died last night just after 2am. She was at home, I was with her, along with dad, my sisters, and mum's brother and sisters. She'd had cancer for 7 years, so we knew it was coming but it didn't half go fast in the last few days. She taught me (without ever saying it in so many...

Hi all Just to let you all know that my mission to finish my one off project is now on task. View what I would like it to finish as at: =ph and what I have achieved up to now...

I am wondering what you all think is a good price for a rolling tote for a sewing machine. I have the 6600P which is a little longer than say a Bernina so I can't use the tote I use for my Bernina 910. Thanks, Marsha in nw, Ohio

I happened to notice that, after a long hiatus, Sentimental Stitches posted more of their Midget quilt blocks, 90-108: http://sentimentalstitches.net/free-stuff/midget-blocks/ OR: http://tinyurl.com/2go8r3 More were posted on their regular blog as "Midget Mania", which have not yet made it...
