OT A New Reason to Sing in the Shower by
Night Mist
I generally sing in the shower, and the kitchen, and my studio, and just about anywhere I happen to be.
Well it has been a wet summer so far, and I am more than a bit allergic to mold. So my chest is full, my head is stuffed, my throat is tight, and I am in no fit state to sing nursery rhymes...

OT - Chocolate cupcake recipe? by
Johanna Gibson
I was all set to make chocolate cupcakes, but my American cookbook
doesn't have a recipe for them! How can this be? It has various
recipes for muffins... which leads me to wonder: What is the

BRICK-A-BRACK by
[email protected]
This quilt is from Quick Quilts, April/May 2014 and a quick one for sure. I used left over scraps. Was not happy with the size, so made the center rectangles rows longer and wider and adjusting the sides accordingly. Did this while packing for my big move. My move is over now, I don't ever want to...

I will not be posting for a while because I am moving within the city of Pocatello, Idaho, 1 of next month. Just didn't want you all to be concerned about what happened to me.

Emerald Waves Quilt by
[email protected]
This quilt pattern is in Quick Quilts magazine Apr/May 2014. It is named Emerald Waves. Not sure why they called it that because it is actually "V's, alternating white with different shades of greens" Maybe Brian can give us the address so you can see it. I made a sample and decided it was too...

Cannot get backing off Printed Treasures Paper by
tnhelen
I have done some quilt labels on Printed Treasures transfer paper that
was run through my inkjet printer. The problem is that the backing
will not peel off! It's making quite the mess.
Any secrets to getting it off easier?
Thanks.

Mega Quilter grinding noise by
Debbie Dempsky
I've had my Mega Quilter for about 4 years. Some days I love it. Some days I wonder what it would look like if I threw it out the second floor of my house and had it land at the bottom of the pool.
