Greencastle, PA, is closer to Hershey. It's about an hour and a half southwest, an hour south of Harrisburg on I-81. It's about an hour and a half north of where I live. Bonnie, in Middletown, VA

Thanks for letting us know, Ginger. If you are 'speaking' to her, please give her my best - for everything they have on their plate. .. In message , Ginger in CA writes Mary D is still on the road with her...

Hi Guys, Well, its finally official and I am going to Berlin with DH this June. He is going for the ASME/IGTA Conference so ALL of his expenses will be covered by the company. He's just finished making my plane reservations and OY that was expensive enough. Thank heavens the cost of the...

I need to make some applique letters for a quilt and I'm not sure how to do it. I think I know how to sew around the outside, but how the heck do you handle the centers. such as in the letters B and P? I can't seem to find anything on the net about this. Thanks for your help. Barb C in S. FL

DH comes home lugging two sewing machines today. Both Singer - one model 15 and the other 15K. I am getting good at looking them up. Looks like 1950 & 1948 respectively. Great shape. Covered in dirt, but all the gold looks intact. I have no idea what I'm going to do with them. But I'll have...

I finished the Ohio Star that is a gift for my sister-in-law, to thank her for all the help she has given us over the years since we have been back in Ohio. The picture I took is not the best and I will probably replace it in the next couple of days, but you will get the idea. It is 72" x 72" and...

Dear Lord, Every single evening As I'm lying here in bed, This tiny little Prayer Keeps running through my head: God bless all my family Wherever they may be, Keep them warm and safe from harm For they're so close to me. And God, there is one more thing I wish that you could do; Hope you don't...

Has anyone here made a "puff" quilt? I saw a picture of one while surfing and thought it was adorable (and a great way to practice some hand stitching on a trip I'm taking). I'm gong to make a little QI bed - shouldn't take too long and it will be a fairly small quilt (QIs being 2 rather plump...

Is there some secret to avoiding breaking thread? I've been working on several quilts lately and I'm kind of tired of it. it doesn't seem to matter what quilt it is or what thread, the breakage just seems to go along with it. Is this normal? Last night I was working on a quilt with cotton...

I sent you a box of goodies, you should get it by week's end! hug the puppies!

Sometimes even the simplest thngs turn into a trial of patience. I am frustrated, and posting rather than calling up and yelling at somebody's voice mail. Ash needs a haircut. We have always perched him on the washer, flung a towel around him and given him what amounts to a bowl cut. This is a...

I usually spend some time editing and discarding old bookmarks and favourites - a Sat morning ritual when I think about it! Anyway here's a link to an Iowa guild's pattern page for a year's worth of table runners. http://www.iowastarquilts.com/mysteryquilt.html Another find today was a change in...

Hi, Does anyone know the site that has applique patterns that has a $15 fee to join. They have new patterns added monthly. I dropped my membership and cannot remember it's name. Any help will be appreciated. TIA Bonnie NJ

I am going to Shipshewana in April. I'm so excited. For those that don't know, a Dear Jane retreat is held there a couple of times a year. It's in Indiana. And I am going. I know there are quilt a few Janiacs on this group. Anyone else going to make the trek? Cindy
