In a last minute surprise, my DS#2 and DDIL had their baby yesterday! She had been having bleeding troubles, so was admitted to the hospital Tuesday morning. They were going to keep her a week and then induce labor. The bleeding got heavy just an hour after the docs made that decision, so they...

I have XP and use DSL. Last week my computer was attacked! I was using AVG antivirus. I was getting notified of trojan viruses left and right (same files over and over), porn popups (which really grossed out my kids), and my home page was getting hijacked. I ran adaware, tried Stopzilla (which...

The Frappr guys (generic term including guys and gals) have added a feature for custom pins. There are 5 different colored pins now and they can be set to any meaning the admin specifies :-) Would you like me to activate this feature on the RCTQ map? If so, what should the 5 colors be set to...

Thought I better but the word fabric in the subject line so we won't waste time on all the pastry comments. I sewed with a Jelly Roll package for the first time today. It was a Hoffman Batik for which I pay $36! Every piece was to have been a 2 1/2" strip. I was very disappointed at how poorly...

Please does anyone know where I can get either an FQ or half yard/metre cut of a fabric showing newspaper print. My daughter needs some for a project she has in mind and as with all 15 year olds nothing else will do. Ive looked in all the usual places with no luck at all. Thanks Flossy Queen of...

I've recently enterd a new stage in my life while simultaniously acquiring a new hobby. I love my new hobby (quilting silly!) and would love to share it with anyone who might be on the same path right now... (I am 26 years old, and I was married last august.)

Do you always cut your borders from the lengthwise grain? I know that's what the books say and I understand the rationale. But....I don't have enough fabric to cut the borders for my baby quilt along the lengthwise grain. So I'm cutting them crosswise. Will I go to quilt jail? Will my borders be...

Hello all, After postponing for years I finally took the time to create a website to show off my quilts. I would like to have your opinion, so please take a look and vote for your favorite. Thank you! --- AC from the Netherlands http://www.cosman.nl

How do you insure a quilt? My insurance company will not give me special coverage on quilts that I would like to show at fairs. They said in the event of fire or theft from my home, they will only cover the cost of the material in the quilt. There has to be a way to insure a quilt properly.

I must share this beautiful quilt made for DD, who is 9 yrs old, by a wonderful person in Oz. I can't begin to tell you how excited my dd was to open the package and see this beautiful work of art. http://ca.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/ceridwen_rhea/detail?.dir=56b7re2&.dnm=7ad1re2.jpg&.src=ph DD...

My Women's Shelter HUG quilt block has curved Flying Geese in a plaid fabric, side triangles that shade from deep gold to almost white and appliqued free-floating triangles. Quite the challenging block for me! Now, it's done and you can see it in my Webshots...

What kind of quilt-related things are you asking for or hoping that you get this holiday season? There isn't much that I need and I've got about as much fabric as I have room for, but I have asked for a bunch of the Essential Thread from Connecting Threads. http://www.connectingthreads.com/ I...

I know you all must get tired of the requests for prayers but we really need some for tomorrow. My husband (Denny) had a bout with diverticulitis in the middle of October and was hospitalized for a week. He went back in on 12/9 to have the 20 inches of intestines removed. He is still in the...
