A little while back, someone posted a link to a site with free patterns for all different kinds of fabric boxes. Can I FIND the %$%*!&@^# link? Nooooooooo! I tried googling, but to no avail. Can anyone help me? Nurse Ratched (remove "cuckoo" from address to reply) I don't have to love George...

1) Charms will be swapped in sets. You may send as many sets each month as you wish, you will get back the same number of sets. A set will be defined as 3 charms of different fabrics, consisting of a "light," a "dark," and a "medium" value of the color of the month. Values may be relative...

I am trying to find a rubber stamp of a Featherweight 221. Any ideas on where to find one?? Thanks Louise

I have the borders on "the quilt that ate the basement floor". I can't say I was meticulous in measuring for borders, but it will work ok as a bed blanket. It didn't fold completely corner to corner square when folding it up, so I guess it's a little wonky. I think I'll appliqué some stars in...

Hello group! I've been back in Dundee for about 24 hours now, and just finished deleting all the spam in my inbox, opening all my post, and yesterday went out to get some fresh vegetables and fruit, and bring my cat Sasha home from "Auntie Dawn's house". I think she purred all night long. She...

I had remembered seeing a small sewing machine when visiting DH's grandmother 36+years ago. Asked around, and found out that it was given to my niece. After asking about it a couple of times, my DSIL helped her find it in her pile of boxes in the basement. It is a lovely little machine, in a case...

I have a Viking Rose as my main sewing machine; I've owned it for 4 or 5 years now, I guess. It does straight-line quilting with a walking foot just fine, but I've never been able to adjust the tension where I'm happy with the free-motion quilting. On every stitch, I can see the top thread from...

I just returned from a Red Hat convention this week and spotted one of the cutest bags I ever saw. I was admiring it but couldn't figure out what the fabric was. When I got up close and handled it, I realized it was strips of seat belting in bright red. Someone had woven them together to make...

Holey Moley! Just got back--had to get that bolt of Warm 'n Natural for our charity quilting group. The store is HUGE! I've been in superstores but this must be a mega-superstore. I did like the way they have their fat quarters displayed--in a special rack all coordinated by color. Very easy...

Dear Heavenly Angels! If you ever hear me whinge and whine that I have no stash remind me to look under my desk!!! I have just spent a pleasurably amazing afternoon sorting my stash. And I'm amazed by what I have. And what you lot (or some of you) may have over the coming months. Those people...

Just wanted to share. My warhorse Singer seized up at a quilting retreat. I borrrowed a friend's Janome while I was there. BOY things have changed in 30 years! The old war horse is being repaired, but I bought a new Janome myself. Now all I want to do is sew! I can see where this may cause the...

Hi All, A while back I printed out template/patterns for a New York Beauty ( or possibly call lady libberty ). I have just searched the blockcewntral.com & the quilterscache.com web site & don't see any mention of the New York Beauty block. I wanted to print out more of the templates. I...

I bought a foldable cutting table today at JoAnn's and since they didn't carry any Olfa cutting mats, I bought a generic one they had that fit the table that I bought. After getting it home I decided I'd rather have an Olfa brand mat on top, however Olfa doesn't sell one that would fit the table...

Hi all, Posted pictures on a new album on webshots. It is the Embroidery album. Enjoy. Dreamboat http://community.webshots.com/user/dreamboat116

I'm not usually one to make prayer requests, but. The other day in the very early morning before anybody else was awake (except his mom, who was at work), my little godson, who is forbidden to go out the door by himself (he doesn't live in a very safe neighborhood), decided that the stricture...

Hi all, After long deliberation I have decided on a red & white theme for the baby quilt I am making for a friend. I have some red & white ginham, and some plain white with a floral design, and several other bits and pieces that will be lovely. I am looking to swap with any of you who might have...

Join me in a happy celebration of the changing of the seasons. The Northern Hemisphere's change from Summer to Fall is my favorite time of year. Where I live, the Fall colors of the trees arrive slowly, but are intermixed with the evergreen pines. This always reminds me of a quilt. For my friends...

Thanks to everyone for their birthday wishes while I was gone. We had a great 8 days away touring around the Flinders and Gammon Ranges in South Australia. We had lovely weather with days reaching high 30's ( back home we are between 10 -15) We met 2 couples from Melinda's area (Newcastle NSW)...

I have volunteered to make a quilt for a Religious order with which I'm affiliated. I have the pattern done and it will be white squares 8" square with 2" batik sashing in colors progressing from green to gold, to orange, to red, to purple to blue. The border will be black with red binding...
