I ordered fabric from 2 different stores online last Sunday evening. One, as I've said in a different post, did not perform well. However, the other store had my fabric to me by Wednesday afternoon, and even included a cute little pack of tissues with a quilt design on the wrapper! I'd never...

A few years back my mother who was a quilter, tried to teach me to quilt. My quilt ended up being a UFO eventually. Now that I am retired and have more time I want to finish it. When I spread it on the bed I found that some of it is ok but some of it has wrinkles on the backside (oh yes, now...

One day, in line at the company cafeteria, Joe says to Mike behind him, "My elbow really hurts. I guess I had better see a doctor." "Listen, you don't have to spend that kind of money," Mike replies. There's a diagnostic machine down at Wal-Mart. Just give it a urine sample and the computer...

Back in May, some people expressed an interest in joining a "charm swap" so here goes. This is my first attempt at organizing a swap. I thank Wendy aka Frood for her kind assistance in this. Please abide by the rules, participants are counting on it. Here are a couple of site I found...

Would any of you recommend using silk thread to hand stitch the backside of the binding on a quilt? I was thinking that by using an very thin silk thread the stitches would be "invisible" and also there would be no shredding of the thread from the eye of the needle. Does this sound like a good...

Someone on here emailed me last week about making a Hug quilt for Natalee's family. It was someone who knows Dave personally. I think it's a great idea, and would be glad to help plan and forward such plan to the quilters. I've never heard back from you on it, and...... I forgot who you are. ...
