I use a cut-resistant glove on the non-cutter hand, because I know I can be a klutz. I'm a chemist, so know about the companies that supply us. And so I ordered this from ColeParmer: EW-86289-60 Best® D-Flex� Cut-Resistant Glove, Full-Face Natural Rubber Dotted $10.00 / each (USD)

Here is, as the name suggests, a girly tote. One of three things I am doing as a fund raiser for one of my wife's girly groups. They all will be made using this fabric. Not all will be the same. This is the Grocery, Shopping Tote. The second one will be one of my over the shoulder, single strap,...

Well, In spite of what all you dear friends said (and what I had tried to do to follow advice) I made every mistake in the book, and then some. Last evening saw me at the neighbour's door, asking if I could borrow a knife, to get, at least, some bread + something (anything I could find!) for...

Hi I apologize if this is a topic already well covered in this group. ...earlier this year I asked here for, and got many opinions on using EQ5 software and on the basis of those comments purchased the software while visiting my sister in New Jersey (somewhat cheaper than in Canada). I have used...

My son had pre-purchased the latest Harry Potter book and picked it up at 12:01 last night. Actually it was a little later because as he pre-paid for his book earlier this summer he received a number. The streets were closed outside of the bookstore. He was #1025 or so out of over 2000 books sold...

Only one block was finished this week, Japanese Scrap Quilt #470 in Maggie Malone's 5,500 Quilt Block Designs. It is very pretty but one of the more difficult blocks. The sewn block is one of those "should be seen from a galloping horse" creations. My points are not the best but the block is...

Hi folks, I've got a problem with what I'm quilting; thought you might have some ideas. I'm assembling a nine-patch block with a very fussy seam. The patterns of the two fabrics are very tiny complementing checkerboard patterns, and I'm trying to get the pattern lines to meet perfectly as...

My D son e-mailed us that he had married his girlfriend. She has a daughter, so I now have a daughter AND a granddaughter. I am HAPPY! Barbara in Florida

OK, I must admit that I miss Snig's jokes of the day. I got a couple jokes in the mail today that made me smile even though I'd read them before. Here goes.....read at your own risk. Remember....I did put OT!!! g -------------------------------------------------------- A husband and wife go...

Oh My! If you ever want a holiday to be pampered totally - take a cruise!!! 7 glorious fun filled nights and wonderfully "me" days. So good we have already booked for next year - from Vancouver down to Mexico and back to LA. I have more fabric (from Hawaii) and goodies and things and am now...

I have a huge bag of felt pieces and I'm at a loss of what to do with it? I'd love to use it in my classroom but need some ideas. I can sew or glue or whatever. I think you need to use fabric glue on this as I think regular white glue sort of seeps through and looks bad. Any ideas besides...

Guys, I'm sorry...i replied to a cross posted message without realizing it, and without editing the groups it was going to. This resulted in a nasty reply to my post, and i didn't intend for that to happen. Please forgive me. I'll be much more careful in the future. Thanks for...

I had an interesting conversation yesterday. My uncle is in town visiting. He loves quilts although he does not make them. Last time he was here I gave him a quilt which he has hanging in his stairway out of the sunlight. He said to me. "Your Aunt Kathy gave me a quilt she had made...

Truth is, I know nothing about batting or quilting requirements for batting types. (I make the tops for Quilts of Valor and let the longarmer figure out the details!) DH and I just went through both quilting and clothing fabric stashes and came up with fabric for two adult quilts and eight...

I went to a work shop and made a fleece and flannel throw. What ever size you want buy flannel and some color of matching polar fleece. Wash all to start. Square up your flannel and lay it down on top of your fleece and make sure you cut the fleece about 11/2" bigger all around the size of...

Bought a new gadget and it's way too much fun -a power cleaner! Hooked it up to the hose, and all the dirt on the terrace paving just blasted away! (You can do calligraphy with the nozzle if you get a little bored.) It came with an extension handle, so we may try it out on the glass carport roof,...
