Hi guys. I have sent emails and left messages on your home phones. Please check your email and respond. It is in reference to the Mini RR. Looking forward to hearing from you so I can fill in your groups on where your work is and when it will be sent. Remember July 15th is coming...

That quilting is great stress relief?? LOL Of ocurse you did, but I just had it driven home again after a morning of chaos. We have been trying to get estimates for fencing for the back yard, cheapest we have gotten so far is $3000 for a stocakde fence (to keep the neighborhood nutjobs - and...

I used to have a friend who would bring me clothes from the second hand store and broken items with which to decorate my house. Once she presented me with a torn decorative umbrella that she was sure would look great in my apartment. I tried saying politely that she shouldn't have, that I had...

I would like to meet some Wyoming quilters in Sheridan if possible - Anyone on this list close by? I have just found out about the Buffalo quilters and missed their last meeting. I plan on going to the next one... but wondered if anyone was closer? -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored...

Can anyone help me locate a new or used video for the Viking Designer 1+? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I dont know about a program like that, so, when I feel like playing with fabrics on the computer I use a graphics program. As long as it lets me use flood fill Im set. Flood fill allows me to fill an area with a specific pattern of fabric. Its not as classy as EQ, but it does the trick on...

hi terri i would go with 4 3/8 - that is, add 7/8 to the finished size of 3 1/2. some folks prefer to add 1 inch and trim to size. i assume you are using the hst method of sewing 2 blocks together - 1/4 inch on each side of the diagonal and then cutting through the diagonal to yield...

Just checked my gmail account and I have 3 invites - so I was wondering if anyone on the group wanted one? E-mail me privately, as I don't know when I'll be checking the newsgroup, way too much stuff to do at the moment..... I'm in the directory. First come, first served - now back to finish my...

I'm sure you all remember my little quilter whose Daddy lost her first quilt. She got a lot of wonderful squishies from this group (and is busy cuddling her new fabric and planning the next quilt). She's also been sending Thank You notes out to all of you wonderful quilters. One of the notes...

No, it would only be crazy if you sold a house in some other state and decided to go to California. It doesn't take a divorce to make good sense to take that money out of that house and enjoy it There are thousands of people in Cal.near or after retirement who do exactly what you have in...

I think I have a grasp on how the Buggy Barn quilts are cut out and put together (using the freezer paper as a template), but it sounds to me like the quilts from the Stack the Deck books are cut out and assembled the same way. And I BELIEVE (and someone PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong) that the...

Hi all, Saw this on the threads and patches website - http://www.threadsandpatches.co.uk/ - and thought it may be of interest to some of you. I'm going to try to rustle up some of my quilting class from Oxford to go. Full contact details on the website. Morag Extreme Quilting Weekend Fri 17th...

Hi First of all HI THERE and sorry I haven't been around much recently. Now to business... I have been asked to make a quilt for a family expecting baby No.1 just after Christmas. They live in Bogota, Colombia. The person requesting the quilt (aunt to be) has had 2 baby quilts off me -one in...

Anybody in Elk River Minnesota? Our village here in Germany just had a visit from the Land of Lakes Choirboys -yes! we too are part of the great world out there! 2 boys stayed at my house, 12 years old both of them. It's been a looong time since we had anybody that age in residence. They were...

Hi Gen, Email me about the christmas ornament - I will send you one (give me your address in email only ok). Marcie )

I have decided to make a quick trip to the NQA show in Peoria this week end. I had made hotel reservations months ago but thought I was too busy to go. My husband just said he needed to get away for a few days and I asked if he thought Peoria would be OK. He thinks it is fine. The most important...

I was wondering if anyone has an online source for pre-quilted fabric (the type used for purses like Vera Bradley's) that they would share with me please. Thank you, Mary

About my new machine that is???? OMG! It's so much nicer than my old Kenmore!!!!! It works for starters, and consistently at that!!!! I don't think I could have made the two wedding dresses I had to make in May with the Kenmore and still be here to talk about it. :P I am SO glad I bought...
