A good friend has just phoned to tell me of her trip in June to Vienna, Prague, Budapest, Krakow, Warsaw & Berlin (not necessarily in that order!) She is a master quilter, designs & sells her own patterns and works in our local QS. Since many of you are from around the world, I said I would...

I've been using the leather Nimble Thimble and have been pretty happy with it. But I've got tiny fingers and even the smallest is a bit too large. Does anyone have any suggestions for how to adjust it? I was thinking of trying to shrink it in hot water, but concerned that it might stretch out...

I hereby nominate georg as Official Sheriff and Troll Herder of RCTQ. She has demonstrated great ability to say, "**** off, bub!" to our numerous latest trolls and keeps the streets clean of riff-raff. Yay, georg! insert two-fingers-in-the-mouth-whistle here Do I hear a second? -- -- Anne in CA

No response from georg? I'll just bet she's off to another tractor pull. Polly

DH has landed in ICU. He is currently taking in his 4th pint of blood in 2 days. He is in A-fib, for those of you who know what that means. This swelling is causing numbness, and a frozen shoulder. There will be an OT consult on that tonight. And he is off all blood thinner. He'll be in...

is completed. And it came entirely from my stash including the batting. I took left over pieces and joined them for this quilt. http://community.webshots.com/photo/113209455/247859857kXtzRw -- Mary http://community.webshots.com/user/mardor1948

Hi, I have not written before. You can call me Anne (as Mistianne is a little confusing for most people). I am a hand quilter and a machine/hand peicer for about the last eight years, made lots of quilt and am definitely addicted. I have two girls, a 2 1/2 year old and a four year old, both who...

In my previous message, I put in an asterick, but I forgot to put in the footnote that it refers to, so here it is: * A few years ago, a woman in the karate class I was taking at the time got pregnant. I made a baby quilt for her that I called the "karate quilt". It was a simple fence rail with...

Ok, as a public service, I am providing the instructions for cleaning these little buggers. This comes from the IBM folks (so THEY say). Here is the link to the instructions. Follow them to the letter. You'll thank me later. http://www.snopes.com/humor/business/mouse.htm -- Alice in NJ, Royal...

I have done so, but here in the UK it is too expensive..... Moira "Jan" wrote in message ... Hoping someone in the know can point me in the right direction.... does anyone use their cell phone to...

Some of you have heard this already, but for the rest, a few good thoughts for the second half of the week would not go amiss... Thursday I have a breast clinic appointment to have a lump investigated. Other than scans I dunno what they'll want to do. I sure hope they know where the local...

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...

Hi, everyone. I have finished the hug I began this summer for JustPeg. I have not been able to get in touch with her since it has been completed, and I am thinking that perhaps it is time to pass it along to someone else who could use it. Not that I don't love looking at it in my sewing room, but...

Ask Jeeves and I have been searching the 'net for about 90 minutes trying to find a working link to some Stack-n-Slash instructions. I give up. Does anyone know where to find a page of instructions? I know it's easy to do and I could probably wing it and have it work out right, but I want to...
