OT useless silly by
polly esther
You can go to http://ww2.howmanyofme.com and see how many people there are
with the same name you have. We have no idea why anyone would care or why
anyone would bother to gather and sort such information. For reasons totally
obscure to me, there is only one Polly Esther.

Bernina: Used 1530 vs new 220 by
[email protected]
Hello all,
This was to be a surprise for my wife, who is just getting into
quilting. We had decided to get her a good tool that would last for a
long time, and some local quilters convinced us that a Bernina 220
would be a good option. I guess other people had the same idea, since
the dealer...

Applique - following from Did you Get one thread. by
Sally Swindells
Reading that people wound 'lots of different colours' onto bobbins for
applique so they could carry them around easily, does this mean they
applique by hand using a colour which matches the bit being appliqued?
I used to do this, but the other day my LQS said you should use the
colour of the...

Some people just have the touch. by

I see where Sharon Schaumber won the $100,000 quilt contest. Sheesh! She's
raking in the dough with that quilt!
http://sharonschambernetwork.com/index.html I suppose she'll clean up at
Paducah too! How does she get these done so fast? I hope I don't come
across as catty or mean....I'm...

OT questions about chemo treatments by
Leslie & The Furbabies in MO.
My mom is going to start chemo and radiation treatments for her breast
cancer pretty soon. I have some questions about how I can help her thru
this. If you've experienced either and are willing to answer some (possibly
personal) questions for me, please email me at quilteacher at yahoo dot...

Handbags by
Val
I've never passed anything on to this group I've gotten in email but this
sort of made me go "hmmmmmm". I'm not a germ freak and have used just soap
and water and sometimes a little bleach to keep me and my family clean and
very healthy since the Apostles were Cub Scouts, it's worked fine and...

OT do you love to bake? by
Polly Esther[_2_]
One of my favorite things is baking bread. Really. I love to. Along the
way, I've created more than my share of bricks and stepping stones but even
the failures have made the kitchen smell just wonderful.
Lately, I've noticed that the spoon I'm using for stirring in the last
bit of flour...

Newbie--need iron reviews/recommendations by
PogoGirl
I joined this group just a couple of days ago and have enjoyed reading
through the messages--some great ideas here! I have great faith that
y'all can help me out.
I'm sick to death of the iron I use for quilting. It's a Black and
Decker "Classic"--I like everything about it except that the...

Pattern errata page by
Julia Altshuler
--Lia here. I used to be a regular. I've resubscribed at the moment
because I have a question and a warning.
Is there a website online that lists errors in quilt patterns, someplace
where, if you find an error in the math or directions for a quilt, you
can let others know about it?
I'm...

Just curious (yes, it's an on-topic question...) by
FurrsomeThreesome
Has anyone ever quilted a king-size quilt on a home machine?
King size, according to my pattern packet, is 118" x 118".
Yes, I mean quilted, not pieced.
Having just about finished my thus-far-largest project, my ambitions
are turning to the next one: a REAL quilt for our king-size bed. ...

borders are on by

I hope I don't disappoint anyone, but I took the plunge and added borders.
It was just too much too fool around with trying out borders, taking
pictures...yadda yadda yadda. They are kinda wacky, but that's what I was
looking...

Picture by

I posted in another thread a day or two ago that I'd finished a quilt
I've been working on since January. I took a class from Bethany Reynolds
called Circular Logic and had lots of fun doing it. I finished piecing
the quilt top fairly quickly, but then the quilt languished while I
tried to...

The Bi-Annual Chore by
Terri
Once about every six months or so my scrap bin fills up so much I have to
stop and take the time to pull it all out and individually iron it and
cut it into usuable pieces, perhaps for a scrappy quilt somewhere down
the road. I'll begin by finding the biggest piece possible to cut then,
because I...

I'm home. :) by
Sandy
I've just returned from a lovely week at Quilt Camp in the Pines. I'm
pooped and have four new projects, three of which must be finished yet
and one of which only needs a pearl button to be complete.
The weather in Flagstaff, AZ, was gorgeous this time -- temps in the 80s
most of the time and...

Wonder Wallet by
Boca Jan
I have been reading about this wallet and it seems like everyone is raving
about it. The pattern is 10 years old, but is still a hot item.
Unfortunately you can't download the pattern but have to buy on line which
makes it $8.00 plus postage.
Has anyone made this wallet? Was it easy? Do you use...

Once in a lifetime by
Anne Rogers[_3_]
So, what's on your mental list of wanting to do some day? I mean
quilting wise! A Lone Star quilt is high up there for me, but I don't
want to do just a star, I think I'd want to combine it with applique,
I'm working on a Baltimore Album quilt by hand and realistically it's
going to take me a...
