I know you all must get tired of the requests for prayers but we really need some for tomorrow. My husband (Denny) had a bout with diverticulitis in the middle of October and was hospitalized for a week. He went back in on 12/9 to have the 20 inches of intestines removed. He is still in the...

Our guild presented this year's challenge quilts last night. "Everything Old is New Again". We had some clever and lovely quilts made from vintage clothing as memory quilts honoring deceased family members, beautiful handkerchiefs, dresser scarves, Japanese rags bag kimonos, old draperies, and...

So, as I was waiting for the advil to kick in after having a root canal done on Monday, I decided to jot down notes/statistics from the directory information. Not sure what it will ever be used for, but it amused me and kept my mind off the pain. Here is what I came up with: Top 4 #1 favorite...

Hello folks, Someone tried to buy a mobile phone in Finland with my credit card details on Wednesday. I wasn't mobile shopping in Finland as it happens. My bank phoned me to tell me of the attempted purchase, which was declined. My bank also stopped the card and will be issuing me a new...

Having got all of our ducks in a row, been approved by USCIS and informed both our employees I can now, finally, tell you all that my DH & I together with our 2 sons are moving to State College PA this summer DH has a new job with a company in the same field and is now officially an "Alien of...

Right now I am taking a couple of months off on quilt making. This will keep me from having a burnt out. Both of my sewing machines are in the shop for repair and cleaning. I feel like My right arm is missing and yesterday I took most of my quilt scraps left over from other quilts and either cut...

Do you use starch on your quilting fabrics? Why or why not? If you do, how do you do it (spray, liquid, aerosol)? Certain brands? Any recommendations? What does it affect? Tricia (sick of sloppy cuts and considering using starch in the hopes of crispness)

Just want some feedback. I know there are people that are devoted to the Singer Featherweight 221s and 222s. I have read quite a bit about them on the internet. Is there anyone that has an opinion on the other early models of portable Singer sewing machines (models 66k, 15k, etc.) that can tell...

I want black and white (diagonal) checkerboard-pattern flooring in my kitchen and bathroom in my little cottage. I've never had laminate flooring and have concerns about whether it will be slippery if used in the kitchen with the miriad possiblilites of spills and in the bathroom with water...

My partner is passive aggressive and I'm just figuring this out. So anyone out that that has any hints, tips, tricks on dealing with someone like this would be appreciated. Thanx Joanna

Decisions, decisions!! Last year a person I worked with gave me a chuck of fabric. She said her brother had given it to her about 30 years ago. She finally realized she would do nothing with it and thought I might want it. I pre-washed them and cut them apart. I want each to have her own...

When I was looking at other things, I came across this rather ineresting quilt, which I had never seen before. As long as one keeps the colors straight, it looks fairly easy to do: http://perso.orange.fr/struss/oldbom/baout.htm The page is not in English, but it is fairly straight forward. Bev...

Two test questions this time! Who won best of show at the IQF Show in Houston last week? Why can't I see my posts, since returning from said show? PAT in VA/USA

I have been quilting for six months now but now I feel like a fully fledged quilter. My DH bought my daughter and I a wonderful kitten last Wednesday called Ruby. He is a male cat but for reasons best known to my three year old daughter she has seen fit to call him Ruby. God bless toddlers! I have...

Hey Teresa, Thanks for answering me in the quilting group. I am thinking of offering myself up to do art wall hangings or throws for both of my sons for Christmas. Obviously not enough time left for me to finish them as I hawve a stack here to do before that day but thought they might like to...
