In our family, the birthdays of DH and DGD are two days apart, so we celebrate with the whole family together every year. Since we now have TWO granddarlings with us, it was a fun photo day! http://community.webshots.com/album/555268709clKOAb Karen, Queen of...

I am way out from a major shopping centre so I do a lot of shopping on the internet, and a lot of that is from the States or the UK as well for stuff I just can't source here. The past month has been a nightmare for ordering and postage and I just can't believe it is the coming of Christmas. I...

My rail fence quilt top has 6.25 in. finished blocks. To save time, I want to quilt it in a grid going thru the middle of each block both horizontally and vertically using purple or green rayon thread and a pretty little curvy vine/leaf stitch that my machine does. (I'm using Warm & Natural...

After visiting the restoration booth at the PNW quilt show, I got invited by another guild member to attend a satellite group that meets once a month - this woman is lovely, restores old quilts and makes/fixes/finish new ones as a bussiness. She knows I love my rescue quilts, and has given me...

I just heard about a new internet show that Ricky Tims will be hosting in 2007. Here's the link. http://www.thequiltshow.com/ Gosh, as if I don't already spend too much time on the computer! I love his personality! KJ

Well, the pediatrician called with some of the results of the baby's endoscopy. He definitely has ulcers, we just don't know exactly what is causing them. They haven't gotten all the lab results back yet. So we wait. In the mean time, before the poor baby could get fully recovered from that...

I use a Janome 6125QC machine which works fine although I have recently had a problem that I would like to share and ask whether anyone has had a similar problem and how to overcome. The problem related to top tension or rather a lack of top tension which was eventually diagnosed as thread caught...

I finished my stack n whack finally; come see. It's the first shot in my web site. It's tough to see the hand quilting; but it is possible; make sure you make it *full size* so that you have to scroll through the picture. My new flat screen show it up lots better than my old tube. susan...

I'm only making two Christmas presents. One will be simple and quick. The other.... well I should have started months ago. Actually, I did. I have all the plans and drawings made. Now all I have to do is put it together. My little niece (2 1/2) lives in Phoenix. We lived there when my boys were...

We have ended up without a program for our January meeting (early in the month). I need to come up with something... fast. I don't have the time to pull together a demo night. Last time we did it -- took lots of time to "cajole" other guild members into demo'ing. We actually had 3 demo nights...

Maybe this gentleman could be convinced to teach a seminar in mini-quilts? http://www.snopes.com/photos/arts/microscopic.asp Wouldn't that be something??? Now, I could *almost* envision Pat on her hill working in this size.... (VBEG) Leslie & The Furbabies in MO.

Hi, everyone, Have any of you seen any quilting fabric that has swimmers on it? Step-grandson has turned into a top-notch swimmer and would like to make something fitting the sport. Or if any of you have any counted cross stitch pattern of a swimmer, that would also be a great asset for me....

Checked my entry in the above mentioned contest (entry #1079) and it has me listed as Bronwyn Ferrier, Alabama instead of Australia! When I filled in the online entry form, I had difficulty in getting it to accept Australia as a country instead of a US state. Have just emailed them to see if...

Ok then. Mum wants to buy me a birthday present for my half century. So I'm going to treat myself to a silver (possibly) thimble and a cage to hang it in (or a chatelaine, always wanted a real one). Question: Roxanne, Thimblelady, Other-special-one-I don't-know-about or an ordinary square-topped...
