I cannot respond to the individual posts- but please know how much I appreciate every one of them. Last night and this morning were so difficult. You see, my darling girl slept beside my bed for 13 years. All those years, whenever I got up- many times during the night and in the morning- my...

I told you all that I went to Phoenix for a machine quilting (feathers) class with Sue Nickels a couple of weeks ago. Progress on the quilt from that class was delayed because of the arrival of cutie-pie Bisou, but I've finally finished the binding on the little quilt. If I hadn't messed up its...

Last week in JoAnns, I spotted a set of double wedding ring templates on the damaged shelf, I quick inspection revealed the damage was just the sand paper circles were missing, but the price was marked as half price. So I bought them! I was in there again today and on the regular shelf I...

Officially finished one of my projects for this year! A baby quilt for a young woman who works with my DH. The baby was born a few months ago -- but it's still chilly here in Michigan ... so the flannel will be just perfect... or should I say just "ducky"! Delivery to the new mom this...

I think today is the day she's been dreading. She made a cryptic note in another thread that she will have three dogs, instead of four, today. I've been thinking of her all day and my heart is aching for her. It's never easy. -- Kathyl (KJ) remove "nospam" before...

First, do you have an OTT Lite and do you like it? I have a 50% coupon and would like a better light near my machine in my little corner of the computer room. If I was to get one I would get a table top version. Just wondering. Now to my irritated rant. Of course, I am the one that sews on...

It's so wonderful to be a part of the group where there can be such an outpouring of love and concern for members - most of which we will never meet!! Tom is MUCH better - quite back to his normal self, in fact! However, it is a fast mover and has decided that Bek needed to get it as well. sigh ...

I am about to enter the abyss.... I call my sewing room! Nice space... nice windows..... TOO MUCH STUFF... scattered here and there! (Maybe I should grab a shovel!) I have a project I need to get started (and finished!!) right away - -but have no room to work! So I plan to take today to get...

After a few rctq people recommended this book I ordered it on Amazon and it arrived today. Where has this book been all my life? It is *so* inspiring - I really want to able to quilt like that. And although I'll probably never get that good I'm sure I can be a better machine quilter than I am...
