I have been looking around at yardsales lately. I decided to step in to an estate sale and I found a Singer 319W there. I paid $55 for the machine, a table, and quite a few accessories. The table is not original to the machine (I don't think- but I'm not an expert.) She needs to be cleaned up. ...

I have just one or two Christmas presents to go and I am looking for some quilting books. So . . . . What's your current favourite book about quilting? - new release or old - and why? -- Cheryl & the Cats in OZ o o o o o o

A friend of ours just got a call that her sister had gone into hard labor. Problem is her sis is a month early, and the baby is face up in transverse lie. So good thoughts for mom and baby, a c-section is underway as I type. Also good thoughts for our friend who got about 10 miles out of town on...

Here is a site for free stencils intended for painting. I think many would work nicely as quilting motifs. These are simple outlines. Did I mention free? NAYY, just like the About.Com sites. http://painting.about.com/cs/stencils/a/freestencils.htm PAT in VA/USA

Okay ladies. I found the FAQ that tells me what squishies are? But I cannot find any information that tells me how to join in. If you would care ot share that particular bit of information with a newbie, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Jenn

The minkee arrived a few minutes ago. It's purple, very plushy like a super velvet, very soft, very drapey. I only took it out of the box to look at it and I'm covered with little shreds of purple. The back is a slippery acetate, I think. I can't imagine using this as a quilt backing. There are...

Finally - have managed to get some photos of our new QI Sophie up in my Webshots directory - not too many but its still early days - she's only been with us since Easter Sunday! She belonged to my M&D, but they are about to move into residential care this Friday, and cannot take her with them. So,...

So, if you don't have any quilty friends in the area, how do you go about finding a long arm quilter? Should I just ask at my LQS? Thanks. Juli

Is it just me, or has Polly not posted for quite a while? I came back from a 3-day trip, lots of messages waiting, but none with her name. Roberta in D

Remember that Jinny Beyer quilt ("Mayflowers") that I was trying to figure out the angles? The one that's $172 in a kit? Well, you can't buy the pattern online (they said they're working on getting patterns onto their website), but you CAN order just the pattern by phone. I called the toll-free...

We had a wonderful time in Hawaii. We cruised the islands Feb. 3 - 10 and then spent four nights on Maui. I bought fabrics at "Sew Special" in Maui and I bought a Christmas wall-hanging and a flip-flop looking coin purse at another store. For the four quilters in my goup, I bought little sachet...
