I don't know what went wrong, but I think I need to start over again! DS wants chocolate frosting for his birthday cake (this afternoon!). I got out my trusty Betty Crocker cookbook and found a recipe for fudge frosting that sounded wonderful! I followed the instructions: 1/2 c sugar, 1 T corn...

After many weeks of fruitless bidding and being out bid on one 99K Singer after another, one finally decided it had to be mine and I won the auction on Ebay!!! The long story short of this is that it will replace the same exact model that my mother had, which I learned to sew on, that I ruined...

Does anyone have wireless internet access? Can you help me find one?? Karen, Queen of Squishies tired of the phone bill

I'm trying to decide what to do in the borders of a lap quilt I'm making. It's a stack and slash and I quilted the main body of the quilt with a cross hatch. It's got a narrow black inner border and the outer border isn't all that wide and it's made from the same blocks as the body of the quilt. ...

Sometimes I feel soooooo guilty about posting a question and then not being able to followup with everyone properly. I swear, it's like there's a household signal that's broadcast every time I post a question on Usenet... "Uh-oh, she has free time! Better make 10 things happen at once pronto!" But...

On what we believe to be a 1940's quilt, the pattern is a variation of the double wedding ring. In a double wedding ring, each ring overlaps with 4 others (right?), but in this one each ring overlaps with 6 others. In then center of each ring is a star, but that might not be in the pattern...

I can't remember if I've ever posted or not. I used to quilt, but things got hectic and I remembered looking at this group before, so I resubbed to it. I'm hoping that now that my life is a little easier that maybe I'll start back in thinking about quilting again. Hope to pick up alot...

I want to decorate it simply, all I found online seem to have tons of frills and fabric and cost a ton as well. there is a lady on ebay but I lost the bid (odd, it had a buy it now for 50 bucks, I placed a...

How much fabric is on a new bolt of fabric? I'm considering buying one or two bolts of Kona Black this year (that and batting is all i will buy this year) and i need to know how much is on a bolt. Thanks! -- Jalynne Queen Gypsy (snail mail available upon request) see what i've been up to at...

Snowflake heaven.....I'm still in the clouds. Yes, it did snow here last week. Had to do a fabric survey. Come to find out I have more snow fabric then anything else. Wonder why? LOL Second place goes to Strawberries? I just might have to add more berries to make it a tie! Snowflakes...

....you assigned a spectrum of colors to several octaves' worth of notes, and then made sequences of little quilt squares that would represent a melody? Got a harmony or descant part? Use half-square triangles to show two notes at once.... Or...Need to do something SATB? Then use little...

Last spring I ran across a lovely preprinted panel of spring flowers and things at a LQS here and couldn't resist buying it, though I haven't often used preprinted things before. Over the long weekend, with DH away at a golf tournament, I needed a quick project that wouldn't take much thinking g,...

I've never given a design board much thought. I've been playing with stars of many patterns, just toying with the notion of putting them together for a Christmas tree skirt. I had a big, thin box that a picture frame was shipped in. I stood the box in a chair, tossed a piece of nylon fleecy stuff...

She is adorable. Too bad they can't stay small like that forever! Debbi in SO CA "CNYstitcher" wrote in message ... Well, I am back home! I read all the messages, and thank all of you for your well wishes.

I just finished quilting my Hawaiian quilt and put it on my web site. Come see. susan kraterfield http://members.cox.net/kratersge/

Which to you lean towards in your quilting? Do you like to start new things, try new fabrics and new patterns and new technique. Then find that after you've done a bit that is enough and you are ready to move on to the new adventure. Or, do you like to take a project from start to finish and...

That's too funny -- what I noticed is how many of us like chocolate and watch Monk. ROFLOL!!! -- Kathy A. (Woodland, CA) longarm machine quilting, Queen of Fabric Tramps http://www.kayneyquilting.com , remove the obvious to reply

Here's a question for the group that knows everything. OK, not a question, exactly, more of a query. I'm looking for some gin to buy for DH for Christmas. He usually drinks Tangueray, but likes Boodles when he gets the chance at it. There. That's it. The extent of my gin knowledge. I'd like to get...

1. I save everything. I have class notes from middle school, high school, and college. I have the rough drafts for every speech I've given, and for every term paper, research paper, and book report *ever*. 2. The last time I cleaned out my purse, I found receipts that were 3 years old (the ones...

We finally broke down and purchased a digital camera, and last night I took pictures of one of my quilts. Thanks to some help from Ms. Butterfly, I experimented with sending them through e-mail, and then this morning, I set up a Webshots site. What fun! So far, I only have two pictures -- both of...
