FABRIC BOWLS by
KJ
I just finished a couple little fabric bowls using the new double sided
adhesive "firm flex"...much like Timtex. Love the stuff! It has a much
more uniform thickness which makes for less wrinkling in the bowls. I made
one bowl from Valentine fabrics in which I will put heart candy for a
friend's...

2 year old choosing fabric! by
Morag in Oxford
Hi all,
Today I went with my not yet 2 year old to the local fabric shop to pick up
some polycotton to finish off cushion covers.
They don't have a massive selection of quilting fabric, but there was a nice
pack of brightly coloured plains that I thought would be perfect for a quilt
for the baby...

A Quick Update - Some OT by
NanaV
It was a bit over a week ago I took a self-imposed time off to try and deal
with stuff in my life. I just wanted to stop in and say "hi" before
disappearing again.
I'm about to put the label on the anniversary quilt. Thankfully there
wasn't much to finish up and I have been able to whip stitch...

some great encouragement from here and I now want to share with you my
delight that it is all done. I delivered the quilts to the organisers

challenge in the online francophone group I belong to, but it became

author, author!! by
Valkyrie
A while back one of our threads forked off to favorite books. I can't
remember which newsgroup it was in so I'm cross posting to cover all bases.
Somebody mentioned an author who was solving mysteries while dragging her
sewing machines around with her, or something like that. I actually did
write...

The double by-pass surgery went well. They are keeping her in a drug

don't want her to wake up and have to be put back under if they need to go
back in. Thanks for all the prayers and...

my sewing machine is sick by
Marijke
Sigh.
My Husqvarna Iris is in the sewing machine hospital right now. Something is
wonky with her bobbin. I'll find out tomorrow the prognosis and the cost,
but please, spare a thought for poor Iris, all by herself among sewing
machines and sergers she's never met before.
She had only just begun...

Hi everyone
I haven't been here for a while but I was going back through the threads and
know you were discussing rag quilts back there a bit but it didn't quite
answer the question I have.
I just made my first rag quilt. It turned out awesome I think.. although it
doesn't look so good in photos....

O. MY. GOSH. Suprise S.E.X. !! by
hfw
Had to go pick up a batt I'd ordered at a not so local QS, so figured I'd go
to the JoAnn's up that way with my coupon. Get there and they're not
honoring the coupons...because everything in the store is at least 40% off!
Fabrics were a 2 yd minimum, at 60% off, or 70% if you finished a bolt....

Thread colors for MQ (long) by
Pat in Virginia
some time ago someone here asked about using more than
one color quilting thread on a quilt. I said that while
I had never done it, I thought it would work okay. HA!
I inadvertently lied. Since then I noticed that my
little Down Under Santa WH has at least 4 colors of
thread. Yesterday I was...

Because my dear QI kitty Mir accidentally bit the h**l out of my left
