I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your good thoughts and prayers. I love you all for your caring!! (I could still use them though, it is going to be a long road to recovery for me now) Never ever has there been such a wonderful group of people with such huge hearts!! You all deserve...

I actually got to sit in my sewing area and organize! I am so impressed with myself LOL I sorted down all my scraps into bins by colour mostly red, black, earthtones, pink, purple, yellow, blue and green and those that didn't fit those bins went into the light, medium, dark bins. I sorted and...

I just was out surfing the net and found out that there was a recall on my coffee maker that came out in June! And I JUST found the recall on the web. I actually tripped over it quite by accident really, but it still sorta freaks me out. I have a Tim Hortons Bunn coffee maker, the kind that is...

I took some pictures of my newly organized scraps. No I am not showing you where my real stash is, that would be just silly!!! Besides, most of my stash is scraps since I have a love of the silly things. They just interest me so much. I wonder what they were made into when they were first cut...

Oh My Gawd I just simply cannot begin to explain how delighted I was with my swap partner's gift that arrived today!!!! Curious as to how many still need to arrive? Please email me and let me know so I can do a peek into what happened or where it went ok? Trish in Sydney has been thanked and...

Oh how I hate having to do the choose one business..... they send you about 10 proofs and say, oh but you can only choose one for your package! I am doing the weepy mommy thing here when I was looking at them.... I am so shocked at how fast they all grow up. Here is my first Graduate of my three...

and soon to be stored away till next summer when I can pull stuff out and fix and re-vamp some of it again. We had a blast! Scared some of them really goooood eg My oldest son who moved away this summer even had to come home to help out and enjoy it. He said if he had to choose what holiday to...

I want to make a double binding (ie: folded in half and then sewn on and hand stitched to the backside. How wide is the norm for cutting this type of binding? Or is there a set norm or is it simply personal preference? Just an inquiring mind. I know what I did, but what would you do?

Thank you so much my squisher. It came at such a perfect time and it really did bring some sunshine to my day. Things have been weird here, off balance and just plain busy! I have been busier than a one legged man at an a$$ kicking contest for sure. Add to that I have a new job that I will be...

My husband and children DO listen! But......... My children gave me 3 new rulers, a new cutting mat, and a pack of cammo FQ's for Christmas! I got a new magnetic pin holder thingy (actually it is from the hardware store, it is the magnet dish used to hold screws and such) and I also got 4 cones of...

My mail to you bounced as spam. It was a confirm that I GotCha! ~KK in BC~

I ran across this site and thought hmm... I had never thought of binding a quilt this way and wondered if anyone here has done it this way and is it a good idea in your opinion? http://www.fabriclandwest.com/quilters%20corner/binding_mock.htm ~KK in BC~ -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

or just plain messy........ http://community.webshots.com/album/424489035kPfEyB Keep in mind this area is a whole 5 feet wide and 7 feet long . I don't know what happened! Just woke up this morning and someone has made a total mess of my sewing area!! I KNOW it had to be gremlins or some...

Her body was tired-her back-how it ached If she sat one more hour, she feared it would break! But only five flowers remain yet to do, If she stays a bit longer, they'll surely get through! Her fingers are pricked and stiff and sore. Yes, she's a quilter but let her add more She, with others made...

Thanked the sender privately but oh the dilemma I face now... do I keep on my already huge pile of UFOs and wait or.......... naaah I will prolly start yet one more project to add to my list.

Some really neat stuff used in some really different ways. http://quilting.about.com/library/weekly/aa030301.htm ~KK in BC~ -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- I haven't outgrown the need to play with blocks. http://community.webshots.com/user/koffeekupz

Got up this morning to take the kids out they are Cadets and sell poppies for Remembrance Day and lo and behold......... husband's truck has 3 nicely smashed windows due to rocks. I could just cry. But why bother? I could be just so damn furious.... again.... why bother. These little ba...er.......

Just an idea that was passed on to me and the way in which it could work for an online swap. I was talking to a member of the local quilters guild here and she told me they do a "No Sew" swap each year around Christmas. Usually quilters are WAY too busy to add another block swap or RR or what have...

It was mentioned to me that the items you send should be Winter Holiday themed not Christmas themed. In my excitement I totally didn't think about those who don't celebrate Christmas. So sorry if I offended anyone, because I sure didn't mean to 'k? If you have any specific allergy PLEASE tell me...

Someone asked me how I was doing and this is what my reply was and then it hit me that maybe I should be letting folks know here that I have not forgotten you or how to quilt my stash is missing me and my SM's are in a state of shock and withdrawal! Well other than being incredibly busy...
