Hi Guys, Thanks to AOHell screwing around with the newsgroups the last week or so, I am getting very few of the posts. Has there been a meet & greet planned for Lizard Land yet? I will be back visiting DD & family from 15 Feb through 03 March when I return home. Thanks for any info & CiaoMeow...

Thanks, Karen. What a nice surprise. It was nestled in my mailbox between a new Zip drive and a pattern for men's boxer shorts that I bought on eBay. :) It was nice to get something just for *me*. Thanks again! Giselle

I've been wanting to go to Amish country to "do quilts" since ... well, since 1975, come to think of it. And it looks like I'm finally going to get to go! My college roommate and I have planned a "girls weekend out" in April, just running around and looking at anything and everything...

Today was first day of Mid Atlantic Quilt Festival in Hampton VA. I did not get to the show itself, as I was in an all day class. That Perfect Stitch (C) taught by Dierdre McElroy. It was fantastic! I learned so much and am anxious to practice so my HQ will improve. I had a quick cup of coffee...

A while back someone was asking about this pattern. Here is a site that shows you one done up. NAyaddayaddayadda HTH Butterfly http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Hills/8173/ContraryWifeOrneryHusband.html

Wow! When you guys told me the new series would be more ....umm...controversial than the last I didn't think it possible. I thought Colin had anger problems but Jonathan - oh heavens! We've just seen the episode where they have the pit stop in Berlin. When he clouted her over the head outside...

I have several magazines to give away as a set. Two recent issues of Unlimited Possibilities (for longarm and shortarm quilters), and a recent issue of Quilting Professional. I'd like to send these media mail due to the weight, so this one will have to be US only. (Sorry!) First begger to send me...

Hi folks: I hope this works. I think after 1/2 hour I have the pictures of Keith's hug quilt up for you to see. I finished Keith's quilt last night and delivered it to the house this morning. Keith is at home on a pain pump, taking three weeks of chemo to try to decrease the tumor and give him...

Would Irish Chain (double or triple) work as a frame of sorts around blocks which are fussy cut? Like, if I had a variety of 6" square big prints, would the IC make a decent frame? If not, any favorite suggestions for what would? TIA Dogmom

I have a featherweight with the straight line face plate. Does anyone know if it is possible to get one of the scroll work face plates and swap it out? -- Rhonda in IL, USA

OK, I have been miserable. The entire past week I have had a freaky flu. For 4-5 days it felt as if my insides were _bruised_. Truly, like a tiny little man with a big stick and a vendetta had been running around my innards and whacking all of them hard. Now that that is better everything feels...

This summer I bought a box of quilting magazines at a yard sale . I am currently looking at all of them and seperating out the one's I really want to keep. If anyone is interested in recieiving some of the ones that I don't want - please reply here or by email. I have alot of magazines! ...

Hi Guys, Well, I have been very busy trying to get all the stuff done that needs to be done so that I can take it with me when I go to Lizard Land on the 15th. One of those things is making a quilt for my DSonIL (who is doing quite nicely and improving steadily) to use during his rehab. He's an...

I posted a photo of the top I just finished. When I went back into the studio and looked at it on the design wall, I found a block that had been pieced with the wrong fabric. This pattern had a very specific fabric placement diagram. As I leaned into my closet to retrieve the bag of...

Hi everyone, looks as if you've all been very busy. I've nearly finished a quilt - now binding it, and it seems to be taking forever, how big can this qilt really be ? :s) I thought that it was only a single, feels more like a kingsize! Are there any easy ways to bind, apart from giving it to...

A very dear friend left her fabric calculator here at my house. My "lovely" young daughter got ahold of it and now it is broken in a few pieces. I think she fell on it. It is black w/no company name on it. I REALLY want to replace it before I tell her it is broken. I tried doing a internet...

I have been to the Paducah show in Kentucky three times. Each time with a bus loaded with female quilters and a grand hostess Robyn. I credit her with the success of the trips. I'd love to still be going but have not found another tour company that makes the trip. Do to the flooding in upper...

DH and I went to an estate sale today. I bought a double wedding ring quilt with 8 pointed stars in the centers of the rings, about 50X60 inches, machine-pieced but hand-quilted. I paid $15.00. It has some stains; what is the recommended way to clean it (Ragmop, I know you have a...

I don't know if you have any ideas, but my MIL has a quilt about 20 yrs old and when they moved house years ago it got water stained (they think that is what it is). After that they got it dry cleaned, but the stain is still there. Is it too late now or can it be cleaned and remove the...

Just finished quilting and binding a 70x70 "Carpenter's Star". I bought the pattern at an LQS walking distance from my house (DANGEROUS) and they were impressed because I did it in *brights* with Laurel Burch Kitty Christmas Angels for the border. Looks VERY different from the "country colors"...
