OT do you remember? by
Polly Esther[_5_]
LET ME JUST blow your mind. I've decided that I don't have to cook the
traditional Thanksgiving Dinner. I can be just as thankful with a menu that
we will enjoy. It's always just me and Mr. Esther and he doesn't
particularly care one way or the other.
So.
I've decided to fix...

Quilt blocks by Tracey Sims by
DiMa[_4_]
Hi all,
If you like unusual quilt blocks, have a look at www.quiltprints.com.au
Although there are not many, some of them are just lovely and would make
great gifts.
I am not associated with this company, just an admirer of the work.
Cheers,

ptgoog
I found a great site called
www.quiltingboard.com

Also a great resource if you are looking for a pattern, fabric, a book
or some other hard to find item. Very nice people there.

Janome machine needle by
Debbie Miller
The needle on my Janome Memory Craft 4000 broke today. I can't find my
extra needles, and I can't find the manual to tell me what to buy to
replace it. I'm going to take it to the quilt shop and they'll
probably solve the puzzle but just in case, does anyone know what I
should ask for? This is one...

OT - Patchwork Coverlet? by
Bev in TX
My DH has decided that he would like something a bit cooler than a
quilt, so I suggested a patchwork coverlet. It will be very simple
patchwork -- just 9" squares (9 rows by 9 columns) with a border. I've
never seen directions on how to make one of these, so I have a some
questions ...

Salute to Hank Williams by
Polly Esther[_5_]
I did "Your Cheatin' Heart" today that would have made Hank Williams proud.
Underway just now is a red and white Hunter's Star quilt for a Wounded
Warrior. The quilt had to be set aside for a couple of weeks because there
just was no solution to what color thread for quilting. White thread on...

An old Elna by
~Ann~
Its an old Elna Supermatic. (Yeah, I know that the Yahoo group must be
the place to go, but I'm too paranoid to dish out my personal info to
get in there, LOL)
Anyway, does anyone have one of these old machines? Or perhaps know of
others experiences? I have some questions especially about how...

One more motif by
Sunny[_2_]
http://www.flickr.com/photos/onetexsun/ I posted a photo of the
second motif on my Crazy Quilt block. Class is over, and now I'm going
to finish the block. I made a huge mistake -- I made the second motif
at right angle to the first one. So hanging on the wall, one will be
'visually disconcerting'...

I went to the quilt group meeting last night... by
Kate XXXXXX
It was just a general 'gather and natter' meeting, nice and social.
I got the program for next year: some interesting things happening.
I ordered some fabric through their fabric club: 4 yards for £12! A
couple of William Morris type prints and a nice blue. Got 2 yards of
that one as...

Help me pick a pattern by
Sunny[_2_]
I hit an amazing sale and came home with 14 FQs that look really great
together -- all purple, shades of purple or complimentary to purple
(and one really great yellow). DH's niece loves purple and has a new
house. I sense a house warming quilt.
So my question for today: what's the simplest yet...

needle pullers by
Mary
Yesterday when I was moving some furniture and straightening out the
miscellaneous things for stitching, I found a forgotten needle puller
-- those little round bumpy rubber discs. Well, it crumbled into
bits! As it happens, I am a bit of a packrat, and had purchased new
shower curtain liners a...

The evolution of a pattern by
John
I decided to try something that I have never done before. I am making
a quilt top without a chosen design. I started to make some pieces
that were cut on 60 degree angles and done up into an 8 strip log
cabin setting. I did a bunch of them that I then started to randomly
assemble into a pattern...

OT - Dishwasher shopping by

Has anyone here recently purchased a new dishwasher? Ours has just
stopped cleaning the dishes and needs to be replaced. It was a fairly
cheap unit 20 + years ago and has actually performed fairly well until
recently. Except is has always been very noisy. I'm looking for

Lighting my sewing room by
Donna in Idaho[_2_]
I'm converting a bedroom in my new house into a sewing/quilting room. Of
course, the only light in the room is a not very bright light in the center
of the ceiling. I'm standing in my own light at the cutting table. The
windows are behind me when I'm sitting at my sewing machine, so need more...
