Well, now that it's a reality, I can share my good news! As of this afternoon, I'll be the proud owner of a long-arm quilting machine. I got the call this morning that they'll be here about 4 p.m. to set it up and teach me how to use it. I'm so excited, I can hardly stand it! I took the...

This article appeared in yesterday's newspaper. I thought the story was too nice not to share! kaila ----------------------------------------------------------- Woman, special quilt reunited after a year Nancy Clark-Puffer

I finished the pants, sort of. I decided to go with the elastic in the pants, but I cannot actually do that until I buy the elastic, but I did sew the crotch seam and make a casing for the elastic. I looked at the seams, and what I originally did was the suggestion made that I make it into a...

Don't feel bad, I WAS around during all of the royal nominations. I am still not a royal anything unless you as my kids who will tell you I am the "Royal Pain in the A$$" Debbi in SO CA "nzl*" wrote in message ... i'm sure i...

That's a scream you could hear anywhere in the contiguous United States from Nebraska! So I'm working on a store sample, made from fabric foundation strips. http://www.quiltersreview.com/article.asp?article=/review/product/030120_a.asp Of course, I chose the Flying Geese. The big geese are...

Hi! I'm in Ohio, on a business trip. Late yesterday afternoon, I found myself looking at Amish quilts in a small town upstate. (I'd rather not embarass them by giving the name of the place.) They have a $995.00 wholecloth (whitework) Pineapple Friendship design, queen quilt which has a tag...

Sometime in the past, I suppose, I started making a pair of gi pants for a martial arts class I was in at the time, which I did not finish (the pants, not the martial arts class). A few days ago, I found the pieces of it, 2 legs that had the inseam sewn on each leg, but the legs had not yet...

The "Get It Done" group has been busy sewing away. We have more than 30 members identifying more than 135 projects. 6 weeks into the new year and we've already posted a few Completion Dates! This is not a contest. There is no prize. This is just a place to cheer one another on... to post a...

Got mine - Thanks for doing this chore LN -you did great!

I got my course results this morning and I've passed!!! So that's the 1st year towards my degree out of the way. I can't believe it and I even got over 80%, which is so unbelievable. I'm floating way up high...... please wave to me as I fly by!!!! Oh, wow, I don't what to do know, my mind is...

Mardi, I've got one of those, as well! That one looks in nice shape - mine has a bit more wear to it. I am having trouble with bobbin tension with mine. I've had it in to the shop 2 times, trying to solve the problem. I don't know if it is just my machine, or a problem with this model, but...

I will be taking a class next month to make a Lone Star quilt using the Quilt Smart method. We are supposed to have fabric strips cut ahead of time and I am in a quandary. I'd really like to make it from my collection of Civil War and mid 1800's repro fabrics. BUT -- the pattern calls for 3/4 yard...

Just wanted to tell you all that we lost MSM today. Heart attack and blood on the brain. The worst day of my life, I think. Hug your loved ones and treasure them while you can! -- Carolyn in The Old Pueblo If it ain't broke, you're not trying. --Red Green If it ain't broke, it ain't mine. ...

i'm really ticked off. waaaaay back in sept i had a major influx of spam that went from a few that were easily dealt with to over 300 a day. it was all i could do to keep deleting them til i could find a solution. as an act of desperation i dropped all my yahoo groups in hopes that it would fix the...

Hi again, I haven't posted in a few days due to the holidays and all and WOW! - do the posts ever build up quickly! I have already asked a few questions and received many helpful responses but now I have a new question: How do you keep up with the posts! I hate to miss anything since I learn so...

Sorry to vent, but it seems the online people in my life are the ones who understand. Panda ov Toes, Polydactyl Barn Cat Extraordinaire, current senior QI and my online namesake, will have to be leaving us sooner rather than later. What we hoped was "just" an infection from her dental work about...

I've seen no new postings after October 21st--am I missing something? rusty

At my flickr account, https://www.flickr.com/photos/brian0908/albums, I just posted some pictures of the quilt I am repairing, in the first album, called quilt progress. I also put a comment under each one that describes what the picture is of. I thought I might have to delete some pictures,...

Howdy! Over on the RCTQ Baseball Swap, we've been watching the World Series. Quilting and baseball, a good combo. g Congrats to the Florida Marlins for winning the 2003 Series. Ragmop/Sandy

Hi there! I got back from Paris not quite a week ago.. I had a wonderful time. It was great to see my friend R. I hadn't seen him in about six months and we've lived in the same town for about 5 years now, sometimes as roomies, so I'd really missed just hanging out together... I thought he...
