I know I don't post often in here, but I read as often as I can. Real life has gotten the best of me and things just wont settle down. As some of you in here know, I have been having some terrible marital problems, to the point of a separation, but now I am back with my husband. After 8 years of...

If you have any specific allergy PLEASE tell me when you send me your information!! That way I can forward that information to your swap buddy so we don't have any mishaps. We want everyone to enjoy the lunch together!! reposted with some changes **************

I HATE log cabins. I HATE sewing log cabins... I kinda like this one. Even might possibly do another one like it..... http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c285/koffeekupz/xmasSIL.jpg this is the last gift to be finished up this year!!! yay! ~KK in BC~ --

My husband and children DO listen! But......... My children gave me 3 new rulers, a new cutting mat, and a pack of cammo FQ's for Christmas! I got a new magnetic pin holder thingy (actually it is from the hardware store, it is the magnet dish used to hold screws and such) and I also got 4 cones of...

I actually got to sit in my sewing area and organize! I am so impressed with myself LOL I sorted down all my scraps into bins by colour mostly red, black, earthtones, pink, purple, yellow, blue and green and those that didn't fit those bins went into the light, medium, dark bins. I sorted and...

I just was out surfing the net and found out that there was a recall on my coffee maker that came out in June! And I JUST found the recall on the web. I actually tripped over it quite by accident really, but it still sorta freaks me out. I have a Tim Hortons Bunn coffee maker, the kind that is...

I took some pictures of my newly organized scraps. No I am not showing you where my real stash is, that would be just silly!!! Besides, most of my stash is scraps since I have a love of the silly things. They just interest me so much. I wonder what they were made into when they were first cut...

Oh My Gawd I just simply cannot begin to explain how delighted I was with my swap partner's gift that arrived today!!!! Curious as to how many still need to arrive? Please email me and let me know so I can do a peek into what happened or where it went ok? Trish in Sydney has been thanked and...

Oh how I hate having to do the choose one business..... they send you about 10 proofs and say, oh but you can only choose one for your package! I am doing the weepy mommy thing here when I was looking at them.... I am so shocked at how fast they all grow up. Here is my first Graduate of my three...

Today we held ceremonies and our Cadet squadron was a huge part of making it a successful day of remembering those who kept and still keep our country a wonderful place to live. http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c285/koffeekupz/Pict0014.jpg My middle son leading the squadron as commander parading...

Well the RCMP just left and we are left with a HUGE broken window. One of our front room windows met with a rock fired out of a slingshot......... glass shards from one wall to the other of the main floor of the house. Even have glass shards on the steps going up AND down!!! It is like it...

I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your good thoughts and prayers. I love you all for your caring!! (I could still use them though, it is going to be a long road to recovery for me now) Never ever has there been such a wonderful group of people with such huge hearts!! You all deserve...

and I am so happy and it made me smile and it is PERFECT for a project I have been collecting fabrics for to make for my living room!! The Queen has been thanked privately ;-) It felt so good to have a genuine smile on my face and some gorgeous fabric in my hands. Been a long time since either...

I never knew frogs jumped in reverse as much as they do!! I am shocked the little buggers get anywhere in life at that rate. I did get one quilt finished today (no pictures of the ugly duckling) but it was a quilt as you go one so it was pretty easy to do. I had to be getting my fingers back on...

and for me, the great starter of hundreds of projects, that's really an accomplishment! They are the first 4 pictures in my webshots kwilts album. http://community.webshots.com/album/149970188ewMPSM They are no where near what you all do, but I am proud of myself just the same. I am and old...

Free (????) stuffing. Saw this link on another quilt site I frequent. http://www.motherearthnews.com/library/1980_July_August/Cattails_Against_The_Cold -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ No trees were killed in the sending

I ran across this site and thought hmm... I had never thought of binding a quilt this way and wondered if anyone here has done it this way and is it a good idea in your opinion? http://www.fabriclandwest.com/quilters%20corner/binding_mock.htm ~KK in BC~ -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I seem to be in a slump. I go and fondle fabrics. I look at all my UFO's. I shuffle stuff around in my little sewing area.......... nothing. It has been ages now since I have had the inspiration to actually sew anything. Today I figured I could get into the mood by finishing off some hems on...

I know I haven't been around here much. Real life and all that yadda yadda as some of you already know..... but I have been getting to use some of my time for quilty things! I finished a quilt that I started over 2 years ago made out of faux suede and flannel. It is by far the softest quilt I have...

I am just curious here. I collect 2" and 4" charm squares. I love that I can just grab a handful and make a....well a whatever because they are there just waiting for me to be inspired. I also collect 3/4" strips of fabric....... yes I am still working on that monster of a project and will NEVER...
