while looking at Teri's gallery, I noticed the pieced BOM blocks go like this: 39 in feb, 35 in march, 30 in april, 24 in may and 13 in june (0 for july to the moment), and the aplique 13, 11, 9, 7, and 4.... are people not making them, not posting pics, or not sending them to Teri? I hope we end...

Ok, so I came home yesterday after doing a one day seminar on figure drawing and nearly being lynched by the other instructors. (I am a HERETIC! I am...) I come in wanting nothing more than a margarita and supper, and discover our Ash has been rummageing through the books again. He is very keen...

Hello Irene, This quilt will definitely mae her smile. I hope all goes well with her operation too. Linda

what size would you make for a boy who is still growing and is already 6' 4" tall? My nephew is a rising HS senior and i would like to make him a quilt. I think i can get one done by then :) of course deciding on a pattern and colors may take as long as actually making the quilt. -- -- Kellie

I know this is the right place to come for opinions! G I showed you my Hunter's Star quilt top yesterday (in case your memory needs refreshing, it's at http://home.earthlink.net/~sfoster1/wips.html), and now I need input. I'm ready to begin quilting this one -- in fact, I've already...

I know this is waaaay off topic, but I just gotta crow, I'm so excited and enthused. Really big milestone: this morning I cycled a local very hilly road called the Newark Valley Road, for the first time. Miles of climbing across two counties, the first hill is brutal, and we'd already ridden 25...

Does someone have some ideas for me on this? I need to install some overhead lighting above my sewing table. I can't put in pot lights or anything "into" the ceiling but I could hang a long light, something like a shop light in my husband's garage workshop. However, those shop lights aren't too...

I posted some pics of beaded trees on my webshots, and Sally thought they might be a good way to use up christmas fabrics that she didn't like the feel of. Might not be a great idea - small pieces, much folding, etc. However the newest pic shows a ball decoration that can be done with no machine...

Ok, I did a LiveUpdate for my Norton Security program. It came up with a bunch of things to update. So....I just updated and now I can't get my mail servers to connect unless I turn off my Norton! Do any of you have a phone number so I can call them and talk to a real live person?? Any other...

I have searched and cannot find a pattern for a spider web block that is not PP. I don't know how to PP and it isn't something that is interesting to me @ this moment. Anyone have a site or idea or the measurements on how to put this together? I have found pictures of what I want to make, just cant...

Brought Mr. Joe home about an hour ago . Life is 'back to normal' except now he has to give himself daily shots and take Coumadin until further notice. At least he got to come home: ) Warm out today, so it'll be good to get into the pool this evening. A NICE warm tho--low humidity...beats the...

My niece is going to have a baby and wants to do the room in Classic Pooh. When my DH went into the City to take his father to the doctor I had him stop at a sewing store and pick up the Classic Pooh card for the Brother Machine. They had gorgeous designs AND some redwork that could be used for...

Does anyone know what a tapa plate is in a restaurant? One of our favorite restaurants is starting a new thing on Friday and Saturday with tapa plates and wine matching. Don't have a clue what a tapa plate is. thanks, joysjane

I just uploaded some pictures of a scrap quilt. The block pattern was demo'd at my guild last year, using a fast piecing method. Thought I'd give it a try, and try to shrink the scrap pile at the same time. Somehow my scrap bin looks justs as full as before! I machine quilted with monofilament...

Vertigo kept me from the ng for the last 6 or so days. I'm better now and I could even go back to work. I still get a little dizzy but I'm not getting really bad spells anymore. PRayers for those who need them and applause for those who finished a quilt. I'm marking most threads as read because...

Dear Karen, Thank you for your note and - I think - thank you also for arranging the package that arrived today. I don't know what type of work you have done in the past but, if timing was important, you must have been a star employee. As it played out: I'm off my meds as of last night and...

we are just a hen house full a chickenstalking over one another about everything that pops in our heads.

I have a box of ties, mostly taken apart and pressed that I do not intend to use, but I can't bear to throw away. The postage may be too high to bother, its 7 lbs in a about foot square box. Would anybody like to have it and pay the postage? Kay -- All outgoing mail is scanned by Norton Anti...

So I decided to snip as I go with this raggy quilt I am attacking. Saves on the wear and tear of the snipping hand if you do it in small bouts. Even so, still have imprints from the snippers on my hand sigh. Anyway, the subject of this post was something I wondered if anyone else does with these...

At one time I went to this site to see the block of the week and saw the others when I clicked on "view more patterns". Ever since that one time I cannot view the other patterns as all I get is a blank rectangle where the selections are. Perhaps someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong now that I...
