For those who don't know Desert Island Discs, it is a program on the radio in the UK where a guest is invited on, and asked which 8 pieces of music, one book and one luxury item they would take, if stranded on a desert island. This program has been broadcast since 1942. More information...

I think it's a great idea. A simple display of individual pictures that is easy to navigate. -- Mary http://community.webshots.com/user/mardor1948 "Christina Doucette" wrote in message ... Anyone else like to see the faces...

Bought a Brother Serger on Ebay from a dealer who had closed up shop. One of these fancy, schmancy, do everything jobbies. I usually have no problems using sewing machines and have owned sergers before. BUT, the directions were just awful on this one and I could not, for the life of me, figure out...

I was cleaning up my sewing room and in the process I filled my trash bin. I took out the bag and threw it into the trashcan. The trash went out on Friday. I started looking for my accessory box that went with my "new" 401 and couldn't find it anywhere and then it dawned on me that I had tossed it...

Right now I am taking a couple of months off on quilt making. This will keep me from having a burnt out. Both of my sewing machines are in the shop for repair and cleaning. I feel like My right arm is missing and yesterday I took most of my quilt scraps left over from other quilts and either cut...

Anyone have instructions on how to make a net dish scrubber? Thanks, aeormom

It is with great sadness that I let you know that Firefly lost her 10 yr battle with breast cancer last evening. She went quickly and peacefully with family around her at home. She is no longer in pain. Thank you for ALL of your support , prayer, love and Hugs for her over the years. It has...

It rained here a lot today so after finishing my June blocks, I also managed to make the pieced and a paper-pieced July blocks! You can see them at http://community.webshots.com/photo/549373692/2204624170046414451vJPpBT Carole in Northwest GA - Retired and loving it! Homepage -...

The Frappr guys (generic term including guys and gals) have added a feature for custom pins. There are 5 different colored pins now and they can be set to any meaning the admin specifies :-) Would you like me to activate this feature on the RCTQ map? If so, what should the 5 colors be set to...

In a last minute surprise, my DS#2 and DDIL had their baby yesterday! She had been having bleeding troubles, so was admitted to the hospital Tuesday morning. They were going to keep her a week and then induce labor. The bleeding got heavy just an hour after the docs made that decision, so they...

I have XP and use DSL. Last week my computer was attacked! I was using AVG antivirus. I was getting notified of trojan viruses left and right (same files over and over), porn popups (which really grossed out my kids), and my home page was getting hijacked. I ran adaware, tried Stopzilla (which...

Yes, summer is going to be over before we know it! If you can, do consider staying over Sunday. Some of us who went back to the festival on Sunday last year have compared notes and agree that the light crowd made it a really enjoyable (and productive) day. It's much easier to walk the aisles,...

Please does anyone know where I can get either an FQ or half yard/metre cut of a fabric showing newspaper print. My daughter needs some for a project she has in mind and as with all 15 year olds nothing else will do. Ive looked in all the usual places with no luck at all. Thanks Flossy Queen of...

Thought I better but the word fabric in the subject line so we won't waste time on all the pastry comments. I sewed with a Jelly Roll package for the first time today. It was a Hoffman Batik for which I pay $36! Every piece was to have been a 2 1/2" strip. I was very disappointed at how poorly...

I've recently enterd a new stage in my life while simultaniously acquiring a new hobby. I love my new hobby (quilting silly!) and would love to share it with anyone who might be on the same path right now... (I am 26 years old, and I was married last august.)

Do you always cut your borders from the lengthwise grain? I know that's what the books say and I understand the rationale. But....I don't have enough fabric to cut the borders for my baby quilt along the lengthwise grain. So I'm cutting them crosswise. Will I go to quilt jail? Will my borders be...

I must share this beautiful quilt made for DD, who is 9 yrs old, by a wonderful person in Oz. I can't begin to tell you how excited my dd was to open the package and see this beautiful work of art. http://ca.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/ceridwen_rhea/detail?.dir=56b7re2&.dnm=7ad1re2.jpg&.src=ph DD...
