I've been wanting to use the script printing for my quilt labels, however.......I've totally forgotten how to make the letters bigger than a 1/4" high. I can put all the letters in memory, etc., but my sewing book is vague about the sizing. The lady at the store did it, but she's gone now and I'm...

Hi, All, just had to let you know my ABC Quilt group had their Sew In on Monday, and I came home with 28 quilts finished and labelled! These people are THE best. Our oldest is 82 and she hummed along on her Featherweight all day; our youngest were two sisters, ages 9 and 7. They came with their own...

vibes coming your way as I write this! And don't worry about not keeping up with the group - We'll be here when you can check in. -- Cindy Bettinger; http://photos.yahoo.com/cbet_99 http://www.one-eleven.net/~music/ http://simplymusic.net "Cina" wrote...

Hiya folks, I received an email about a fabric sale, and thought I'd pass the good news along. The email is included below. -- Jo in Scotland *********************************************************************** Good Day! http://www.textile-collections.com

I asked for some help with a t-shirt quilt here a few days ago and got some good suggestions (thanks, all) but decided to just not mess with those nylon shirts. I decided to add a photo of my niece in the empty corner. This morning while trying to avoid getting up for work, I was thinking about...

Thanks to some help from my husband, I finally have a hobbies page on our website. It includes pictures of some of my quilts including the one I'm working on: http://www.modell.com/celia-hobby.html Celia

Today my husband's aunt had an auction of most of her household stuff, because she is moving into a small apartment. I think I got the best buy of the day -- a beautiful pieced, hand quilted quilt that DH's grandmother had made, probably at least 50 years ago. Here is a...

Hi group, I got me another new sewing machine last week. It is a Euro Pro. I got it from the Home Shopping Network. I never heard of the brand until I was looking at some in Fingerhut catalogue. It is working just fine. It has a lot of features on it. Too long a list to mention. I got it for...

Hello fellow quilters :) I want to make a lightweight cotton, pieced (blocks or strips), large motif, machine applique quilt for my king-size bed to be used as both a summer blanket and a spread but I need some advice, please. I have done some machine applique before but never on a full size...

Wow Jan! That's interesting fabric! I'm not sure if I'd enjoy working on it or not... Looking forward to seeing the challenge work! :), NS

There's nothing I've found that's better than Snowy Bleach for brightening up vintage textiles. Except that now I can't find Snowy Bleach anywhere locally (Reston in Northern Virginia). Nor have I been able to find it on the Internet. Can anyone help?

Hello. I know I am in the wrong place but I will be very grateful if you will take the time to read anyhow. I have a 5 year old daughter who just has started collecting napkins. I am now looking for all kinds of napkins - all colours and patterns. If you know any places where I can advertice...

Praise the Lord - I washed dishes in my new sink today! The DH took today off to reconfigure the plumbing for the new sink and disposal since it didn't work on Sunday. He did a fabulous job! I came home today to dinner ready and served on my kitchen table! I bought new blinds today for...

well, I won't be there long enough to go to any quilt shops, but husband I are doing a whirlwind trip to Chicago on Friday. Up and back in one day. It's a long story, but he works for Southwest airlines and we can fly standby any where SWA flies to. One of our favorite cooking shows is "Mexico:...

Hi again Diana told me to read the FAQ for this group but I don't know where to find them. Could someone point me in the right direction? I'm not used to ng's. Shirley

Yippee Yippeeeeeee! I won, I won! This is just a little crow to celebrate that I won a minor appeal against a decision by the Inland Revenue to impose a £100 penalty for non-payment of National Insurance contributions that I didn't know I needed to pay because they failed to tell me so when I...

In doing the fabshophop I found a site for some free patterns--all or most have applique. Thought you might want to ck it out (NAYY). http://www.this-n-thatfabrics.com/free_pattern.htm I am just starting in learning applique so I thought some of them were very nice and easy. -- Kathy in...

Hi all, I was reading the newsletter from The Calico Cat quilt shop over in Auburn, WA and they had a link to their latest cat quilt pattern. I had seen it in their booth at Sew Expo in Puyallup and thought it was hilarious. Since my hubby is still a firefighter I particularly liked the block of...

Well, after months of denim circles cluttering up my sewing space, the denim circle quilt is finally finished. It is on my bed and looks smashing. I did have to replace the rug, shade, curtains and night lamps to make it all match, plus buying new sheets :-) but it was worth it. The quilt was easy...
