This morning in the St. Paul Pioneer Press in a column called Everyday Cheapskate.....

They will make a custom order, COMFORTERS! Note they don't even call them quilts. There is so much wrong with the way they do things I don't know where to begin. I put in for the economy fabric, first quilty design they had to make a king size comforter. Well the estimated price was $536.99. Can...

This isn't Sears, per say. They have hooked up with a company that does this as well as sell fabric by the yard. When you are at Sears.ca click on For the home. Then it takes you to this site http://www.einteriordecor.com/(zetzmx45pk5lnuz2vja43555)/index.aspx But it still says Sears HomeCentral at...

DH and I are headed off to Florida tomorrow to visit DD, DSIL, and the 2 little darlings. I'm sure they wouldn't like the word "little" since they are 7 & 5 now. My stash will be unguarded, but if you have a raid, you must complete one of the applique blocks that I am leaving out. The...

Sorry I just had one more thought to add. Your dr diagnosed your daughter based on what? Solely her weight gain. Did he do any tests to rule anything else out. Someone else on the group suggested it could be a physical thing. I would want to make sure some things were ruled out. Ultrasound and...

I did read the warning. I did. But it was a great looking wall hanging, and Popser said we needed to have one just like it...but he just has to write about it. I'm the one still slumped over the sewing machine. Joan Story # 248: "Braveheart" (and the wall hanging) http://popser.com

Hi, I am thinking of ordering from FlannelWorld.com , they have over 520 flannel fabric patterns. Have any of you dealt with this on-line store? I am making a quilt for DH and need more flannel as I am doing a make up your pattern as you go! Thanks for any input. Hugs, Helen in WI

Seems I never stay long, even though I check in from time to time. I never seem to get a stretch open for me to accomplish anything, but enjoy reading what others of you have done and seeing your pics. Thanks.

I too have problems whenever I use the clear poly thread. Sometimes it helps to decrease the tension so that it doesn't pull as much. Or put it on a bobbin and use that as your main spool. Good luck. ~quiltkitty

We are seriously considering a trip to New Orleans over Christmas vacation in our RV -- which means I take the SM with me (hooray!). I'd welcome any information about places to visit (we last visited New Orleans about 35 years ago!), special quilt shops, and if anyone knows great RV parks, that...

Are you making fabric bowls? They're fun and great use for one's stash. However, the Timtex stabilizer is expensive....so you should use up the leftovers and not throw them away. Sometimes you're left with smaller squares or rectangles of the Timtex but perhaps you don't want to make small bowls. ...

I need help trying to repair a hole in a quilt. It is a worn cotton quilt that I think is from the 30's and it has a hole chewed in the middle of it by an adopted dog. It is a simple applique block sashed with a faded Sandra Dee pink solid. The background was white muslin with a 30's print...
