Here is a link to the completed Messenger Bag/Purse that was made from the Susie Robbins Tropical Prints that I recently acquired. I have yet to get the interior locking hooks that hold the keys and the small coin purse at each side of the bag, but those will be available as soon as I get to the...

Miss Bodacious Lardbutt, Ivy Jane, and Cassie doing? Is Ivy Jane getting any less skittish? ...snipped... After two days of relative peace, we just had another "set to". I'm sure it is between Cassie (Baby Cat) and Bonnie (ChunkyButt Cat). I had to double back and read...

Here is another location for quilt blocks...... http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZmarsyemark24

Housework CAN kill you. Last Tuesday, I embarked upon painting my kitchen. I hadn't cleaned atop the cabinets in years. I can't see up there, nothing ever gets moved so who knew how dirty they were. Well, after taking everything down and cleaning so I could paint the back wall, all that dust...

At risk of boring some of you to death - the floor man cometh. Thursday, we will have a real floor in the now barren and empty sewing room. Being of sound mind and to the best of my ability, everything from the sewing room, kitchens, pantry, laundry room and foyer is somewhere else. The...

Help, please! Does anyone know of an online tutorial or pattern for covering a reusable shopping bag--and will you point me to it? I've googled and gone to about.com and tipnut, etc... to no avail. TYIA, rusty

Hey gang! Just popping in again (I know, I should get back here more often) to see if anyone has heard anything from Jessamy. She's been MIA (at least as far as I know) for quite some time and I'm concerned (have been for awhile now). Any info would be muchly appreciated!!! Hugs, Tigg

Just pondering on this cold, cold winter evening..... do you ever go on a guilt trip to your LQS? Mine is about 35 miles away in a tiny town of about 600 population. I can't imagine why they opened their quilt shop there- they live in my town with a population of 12,000. But they did. The...

Hi all Finally have pictures of everything and all organized a bit and such. Here they are. I hope the link works. Things are strange lately. I made the menorah, put the binding on the skirt, stack nine-patch and got the baby quilt top done during the too weeks that Bert was gone to Michigan...

DH and I drove down to SW Wales on Saturday and arrived before the end of afternoon visiting time to see my Dad, and then went back for the evening session. He is very tired and I can tell he is frustrated by what he can't do, but relived by what he can do. He is on the specialist stroke ward and...

Here is what I did with the remnants from the batch of samples of Susie M. Robbins Tropical Prints, that I recently acquired and used to make the Messenger Bag/Purse for my wife. I had to think of something to do with the few pieces of hexagon shaped fabric that I had, so I cut a bunch of black...

Ok I've been wondering if we will get to see the pics of the six quilts you did of your FIL shirts? How did they go over on xmas day? Take Care Joanna alberta

I do sincerely hope that you all experience a happy 2009! -- Carolyn in The Old Pueblo If it ain't broke, you're not trying. --Red Green If it ain't broke, it ain't mine. --Carolyn McCarty If at first you don't succeed, switch to power tools. --Red Green If at first you don't succeed, get a...

Pictures in Quilts album pages 5 and 6. Finished in a hurry - why does the quilting take so long, even when its supposed to be done simply! The paw prints didn't work quite as well as I hoped - but still, DD knows they are pawprints! I was quite pleased with the cats and mice though - they did...

A dear, dear friend who has been a HUGE help during my injury down time needs some help. She wants to make a tree skirt from the Omnigrid 9 degree circle wedge ruler by Marilyn Doheny but has lost the directions even though she's previously made one. This is a strip technique in which you sew...

can anyone make head or tail of this info about the judging of quilts in a show here? Baltimore Quilts are very much derived from older forms. Copying someone else's copy of an earlier and original quilt did not seem the same as copying a recent design, and these we decided to allow. i've read...
