I have just finished three t-shirt quilt tops, and three checkerboard-pieced backings, for hire. This woman is a friend of mine, and has purchased hand-made quilts before, but not from me. I have never made a quilt for money. I asked her to help me figure out how much she should pay me, but she...

My DM&FIL have been on vacation in Hawaii for the past two weeks and got home Saturday. As per usual I'd been taking care of their 19 year old cat, Mischief, and doing the mail and watering thing. We usually receive a token gift (t-shirt or some such). Imagine my delight and surprise when...

I see that some of you have either taken or taught quilting classes. Does anyone know of a place in eastern Washington state that teaches classes like this? I'm going to check with the new quilt shop that I just found today and see if they offer classes. I think I would really enjoy and get a...

Hi Guys, Does anyone have any idea where Jo in Scotland has gotten to? I have some black Kona Cotton to send her and don't have her snail mail addy and she hasn't answered e-mails! Has there been a holiday in Scotland, I wonder?? Perhaps she is off having a fun time in some strange and exotic...

I have been down and off for 21 days. Have finished all UFO's. Cleaned everything including behind washer and dryer. Taught the Yorkie to speak Castillian Spanish. Decorated the Christmas tree and filed next year's income tax. I hope you have been very kind to each other during my absence. Oh, my...

Some of us will want to make some gesture to commemorate Sue, and this is good. I would like to suggest one thing that perhaps no one would have thought of. The very, very best thing you could do in Sue's memory is to have a colonoscopy. Sue had colon cancer which spread to the liver...clearly a...

I just wanted to thank everybody who gave me some tips. I went to hancocks and found some unbleached muslin for .99 a yard. I bought 5 yards and should be enough for the stockings and stuff that's not denim. To whoever it was that wrote about red and green jeans- wish I could find some like...

I posed this question a while back, which is "What is quilter's jam or jelly?" Some nice soul on this ng said she would send me some so I could find out, but it (I'm assuming it to be some kind of squishie) never arrived. So I need to ask again. Could anyone tell me what this is? Thanks in...

The small work light (behind the needle) of my Bernina 1080 is giving me fits. The on/off switch does engage properly. As long as I'm holding the switch button in, the lights stays on. When I release the button, the light goes out. I'm been told by a local Bernina dealer that the switch is...

Hi All, My featherweight arrived this afternoon. Does anyone know where I can get a booklet for use and care of my machine? I would like to lubricant and oil the machine before I do any sewing. It came with a tube of lubricant. It look like it might be the original tube! Please help! ...

Diana- What a wonderful rescue for "a few 9 patches"! The applique' is a lovely touch- way to go! The quilt turned out just great and I know it will be loved and appreciated by the "other" Meghan. I wish "your Meg" had turned her precious little face a bit so we could see her, too..... altho I...
