How far is TOO far? by
Leslie & The Furbabies in MO.
First, please check out this link-
www.starforestquilts.com
Pat on her hill sent the link to me. The quilts are fabulous- just
gorgeous, BUT.... how far is too far??? I would be happier with
calling these "quilts" if the scenes in the quilts were of fabric and
appliqued. I would greatly admire...

quilting-what's it take? by
Taria
I have spent some time thinking about Cindy's note mentioning buying a
big machine to get all her tops done up. I am having a tough time
trying to figure out just what it takes for this hobby to feel right
for us. For folks in the old days they had almost nothing. A needle
and scraps got them...

backing quilts by
Marie Dodge[_3_]
What are you people using to back your quilts? Sheets? What thread count do
you all recommend? A flat sheet for a double bed is too narrow for a full
size quilt so are you buying Queens size sheets to back full size quilts?

OT- Gas Prices by
ALZ
Gas prices have gone up TWICE today. From 8:30 to 1:00, they jumped 20
cents a gallon and I was just out at 4:00 and they are up another 10
cents a gallon!
I can't believe someone isn't making oodles on this and using the
hurricane as an easy excuse.

OT Halloween Horror Nights Rant by
Nurse Ratched
Does anyone else live near a Universal Studios attraction?
I do, and they've been running ads for their Halloween Horror Nights event.
The ad shows a maniacal-looking guy ("The Director") setting up camera shots of
a terrified man in a bathtub full of water, who is then electrocuted (you see...

A Quilt For Me This Year club by
Jalynne
I've seen several people who are planning on making a quilt for themselves this year.
I'm no exception. I find that I keep making quilts, but they end up in different
homes. It's about time that I have one for my own bed. This year, i'm working on
TWO. Maybe it's the snow that's making me want...

IMacNat
Hi -
I've finally gotten moved & unpacked! Now if we could just get use to the

Very Dufficult New Year Resolution by
Kate XXXXXX
Keep the sewing room tidy!
I have a MAJOR clear-up exercise to do in there... Machines and fabric
and threads and bits all over the place, careful footwork needed to
negotiate the bosticle course that is the 'floor', and homes to find for
new toys. When it's all pretty and you can really see...

Squishie etiquette by
C & S
I was wondering if it is poor etiquette to send someone a squishie that came
from your own stash. If I'm in a quilt store and a fabric reminds me of
someone, I will buy it and send it off unwashed. However, there are times
when something from my stash would be perfect for that individual. ...

And I confess that I'm just as overwhelmed as I was last April (or
