Ok, so I was lucky enough to meet Jinny at her shop when I went on a shop hop with a friend a few months ago. I was actually excited to be in the presence of "celebrity" and was probably a bit shell shocked without even realizing it. I shopped, I spent too much money, I chatted briefly with Jinny...

I had a great site bookmarked before I lost everything. It had loads of T. Runners, linked to the the seasons if I remember. Cant find them even with Google s help. Does anyone still have it!! ( J*) gg. lol -- http://community.webshots.com/user/EstelleUK11

Does anyone have a solution for a bleeding area on a completed quilt? I tried a little Shout and water rinse but that's not doing it. I'd appreciate any and all solutions that have worked for you. Thanks so much.

One day, when a seamstress was sewing while sitting close to a river, her thimble fell into the river. When she cried out, the Lord appeared and asked, "My dear child, why are you crying?" The seamstress replied that her thimble had fallen into the water and that she needed it to help her husband...

I am trying to learn to stipple and have a problem. Some of the time my stitching looks ok but other times the backside of my fabric has big wads of thread. What am I doing wrong? I tried adjusting the tension and also the speed of my sewing. Maybe I'm not moving the fabric correctly?? ...

I got a letter from Father Mike yesterday. Seems the sound system contractors cheated the church out of a lot of money and left the sound system in our new church undone. The church needs $68K to complete the sound systems so people can hear mass. I have donated my Hearts and Flowers quilt to be...

I just got my kitchen table and chairs (6) delivered from the refinisher! They are beautiful. I bought this set from a second hand furniture store the second year of our marriage (29 years). It's a Heywood-Wakefield Danish modern that's quite collectible now...my original $200 (hummm, might...

This is going to me awesome...I am meeting up with Linda F this weekend, and had a lovely conversation on the phone with her tonight....she doesn't know this yet, but she will be getting her three free FQ's that she earned for turning in her Swap-a-Blocks first. I will try to bring my digital so we...

I could use some positive thoughts, and lots of good luck right now. Shortly after DH and I got married we bought a mobile home. Worked well for a young couple finishing college. Now we have a very energetic 3 year old and a new baby so we really need more space. We really want to move out into...

So far, several pranks have been played, although not all have been discovered. Late last night, I set DD#1's clock forward by 30 minutes. She hasn't figured that out yet, she just thought she was staying ahead of schedule today. I switched the chairs around the dining table - I rotated them...

I've just got to let you know, what an awful day we had yesterday. One of our QI's who is 3 yo this month had to be put to sleep yesterday. We had been nursing him for about 6 weeks and thought that he was finally getting better when he had a relapse. He had been suffering from cystitis of...

Hi I found out today that the dog that was caught was release back into the custody of it owner! This is just a quick note as I now have a 3 hour drive ahead of me for the emergengy evac of Wispa and Walnut! ....Fran...

I'm so excited. I just got my Empty Spools seminar information for 2005. Boy, what a list of teachers. I considered Freddy Moran, Judy Mathieson, Ruth McDowell and even Caryl Bryer Fallert. But, I ended up choosing Jane Sassaman. I love her style and her fabrics. It sounds like it's going to...

Are you OK? We had such bad storms here last night and I saw the news reports from Arlington. Hubby works at Southwest Airlines at Love Field and all the lights are out on Northwest Highway and a huge tree was down on the side street he goes around Bachman Lake on. And there are downed power lines...

I will be at International Falls, MN next week (July 20ish) and vaguely remember hearing about a quilt shop near there. It is supposedly a very popular place, and it's worth the time to drive there. I don't know how far from I-Falls it is, but apparently it's not too far. This isn't much info to...

I searched the archives but could not find a good answer for this question: My baby-sized quilt top is flannel, but I want to back it in regular cotton. Has anyone had success with that before? Also, I was prepared to use polyester batting, but now I'm worried about bearding. I plan to machine...
