Wow sounds like you pick the best quilting retreats. Take me with you next time Sandy! Where exactly did you stay in Harrison Hot Spring? Susanne "shhdesigns" wrote in message news:9OUrb.362383$6C4.71504@pd7tw1no... Had a wonderful time at the retreat. We had 20...

Hi all, Finally got my pictures up for Jacob's Hug Quilt. He was born November 2, and his quilt arrived with Grandma November 6. Grandma says there was lots of laughter and tears! We were so excited about making this quilt. Let me know what you think. This is a baby quilt (Hug) that a friend...

I just read my e-mail and got a forwarded message with not so good news, Laurene Sinema, founder and owner of The Quilted Apple quilt shop in Phoenix succumbed to her fight with cancer today. The quilting world has lost a great asset. She will be greatly missed. Pati, in Phx

Silviania: The quilt is terrific. I am guessing you did not know that this is a text only ng. You need to cancel this post and send just the text. To post a picture, you need to do that at a web site some other place, then add a hyper link on your post so people can go there if desired. I do not...

Here I was in the midst of my Christmas gift quilting - table toppers, table runners and pillows when I learned a hard lesson.......my Pfaff does not like to sew over (or into!) safety pins. Aaaarrrrrggghhhhhh! Off to my not-so-local sewing machine shop for emergency fixing of the "no longer...

I just posted a photo of my first quilt made in 1978 ( I took my first quilt class in 1990 and didn't try any others in between - too busy raising little ones). There is also first DD's favorite blanket which I did fancy patchwork on for a while, and my latest quilt. Debra in Idaho

About a week prior to visiting my mother in IN, I phone her to let her know that the quilt she had made for my bed had migrated to the couch and therefore I was in dire need of a couch quilt so that my first quilt could safely return to it's rightful place. Do you know that not only did I arrive...

A while ago, I saw a mini video on-line with Billie Lauder demonstrating some machine quilting. Someone I know is trying to do this for the first time and I'm unable to show her since I'm so far away. I tried to find that website though and can't. Does anyone know which one I'm talking...

I found a lovey toile that was offered by Connecting Thread in their Oct. catalog....sadly by the time I went to order they were out, and not getting anymore. Anyone have any idea where to find it online? I have searched various web sites and to no avail. It is made by Andover Fabrics,...

I had my heart set on a Bernina, but DH almost flipped when he heard the price of the model I liked, so I went with the brother nx200 (see it here for example: http://www.sewingsupplywarehouse.com/brnxcosema1.html) with the option of switching to the other within a year getting a full refund. I am...

A little girl, dressed in her Sunday best, was running as fast as she could, trying not to be late for Bible class. As she ran she prayed, "Dear Lord, please don't let me be late! Dear Lord, please don't let me be late!" While she was running and praying, she tripped on a curb and fell,getting her...

As a disabled person, I have been following this thread with interest. It is amazing to me the justifications people can come up with as to why they should not take advantage of handicapped facilities. I am trying to see both sides here, but ladies, I think you are missing the point. If all...

Last week I think someone posted a link for a free download of Quilter's Solutions software. I downloaded it at home and work to test it out. I played with it--mostly at work :) I really did not care much for it although I have nothing to compare it with. It was not "user friendly". It...

I'm posting this in it's own thread, because I didn't want it to get buried in another thread about fabric lines manufactured in China. I got this catalog from MarketPlace: Handwork of India. This company starts programs for Indian women, to promote economic growth and self-sufficiency. In...

Hi Guys, Well, I just finished putting together another "quickie" quilt top -- the kind that is 8" whole cloth blocks. This is the second quilt top I have put together in sections instead of long rows and I *really* like doing it this way! It just seems so much easier. The quilt is 7 blocks wide...

Tell me if this is a stupid idea but I am making a moire fabric quilt so quite elegant and wondering if I gathered a hem all around-- would that look weird? I can either do it two ways--- either cut a 10 inch and fold it over or i can fine hem the edge as my machine will do that. It takes lots...

.... some. Well Thanksgiving is over and I can at least for now get back to the ng. Thanksgiving was a great day! My dgd's second birthday was on Thanksgiving. We had so much fun. However we sure didn't get much sleep that night and Friday Morning 5a we were off to shop and get in on some of...
