I've got to fill out the entry forms for our guild's show tonight. I'm having a tough time deciding what to put in. We can enter up to 15, I have a list of 10 possibles. But winnowing down is turning out to be harder than I thought, because everything on the list of possibilities is either...

I've volunteered to make the permanent banners for the little chapel of our church, which is undergoing a complete re-do. New carpet, new drapes, new backing for the cross (lots of grumpy parishioners who hate change) and now I'm going to make the banner. I drew up a possible design ... and I...

I like it!! Donna in Idaho "Sunny" wrote in message ... Hey, my yahoo account is fixed (grrrrrr -- it had been hacked and I had to give blood almost to get back control) and photos of my new haircut...

No surgery. Postponed for a good 3 months for now. I was working my way up in hours of walking without das boots.....snapped the bone just above the 'plate' area. I was being extremely careful and KNOW I didn't bang it or drop anything on it. In the long run, I'm glad it was that and NOT a...

All the auto manufacturers are offering new car buyers their "employee discount" on their television commercials. I just got an email from Joann Fabrics telling me I can get *their* employee discount of 15% off. Sheesh! I'd much rather have a new pick-up truck! Leslie & The Furbabies in MO.

I have blocks that finish at 6". I want to put these on point and use cream fabrics for the 4 corner triangles. How large should I cut the squares for this? Do I want the bias edge on the hypotenuse or on the short sides? -- Jo in Scotland

AHA! My test worked. So here is the message about Tyler's Hug. The top is assembled and posted at http://community.webshots.com/album/426041188AUoVly Please forgive me, those whose blocks have not been acknowledged or posted. Friday I dropped all projects, wiping my table clear to make blankies...

I finally have the first of two I Spy tops completely pieced with borders added. This is for my DGS, Gavin, either for Christmas or for his birthday depending on when I get both quilts totally done and quilted. ; ) I added two of each fussy cut square to the top so he can play match games...

Hello! Last night I took a quilting class on cutwork appliqué (working my way up to a Baltimore Album quilt). The pattern I used was a cutwork alphabet pattern by Linda Pool for the letter L. While I love the look of this, I have a project in mind for bellpulls and buying the amount of...

Just to warn you, I have received three emails from eBay to enter to win a new car by clicking on the link. It's NOT from eBay! Do NOT click on the link! The addy looks like eBay and the graphics look like eBay, but their fraud dept. at says it's not from them and do...

I haven't posted or read much for the past few days, because DH arrived home after a week visiting his DM, and his DM arrived with him. g I'm on entertainment duty for the next several days. However, I wanted to wish everyone here a really wonderful Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanzaa, holiday season....

Okay. Here's the plan. While you are out shopping for embroidery floss to match the comforter so you can practice your buttonhole stitching on the long cut, you might as well buy one of those cardboard, sort of accordion fold things to put on top of your bedding. I had to use our bed for...

I haven't used it in a while and I can't remember if you spray the backing fabric or the batting? Lorraine

Hi All, I had no idea that all gel pens weren't permanent until I reviewed the responses to my last post. Sure enough, the pens I chose are not colorfast. Is there any way to set the ink or will this have to be a "no wash" quilt? There are over 200 blocks and I have other things to do so I have...
