OT I think my eyeballs are falling out by
NightMist
Or I at least need to take them out, wrap them in cotton wool and soak
them in tepid tea.
Next time I agree to do pay work remind me that I need to specify
CLEAR copy, detailed diagrams, and if somebody wants translations of
any kind whatsoever they had best provide them for me.
I am silk...

Done! :D by
Sandy
This afternoon I finished the Christmas stocking for our DGD! Yippee! I
posted a photo at http://www.sandymike.net/christmas.html#stockings
(the third stocking down). It's the same pattern as the ones I'd
previously made for her brothers, but I think it looks a bit less
masculine, and it's...

I think it's a good thing..... by
Sunny[_2_]
I just got notice that my wall hanging was chosen for the "Voice that
is Mighty Within Me" road show. I have no idea what venues it will
show in or for how long, or anything else. All I know is that once it
leaves my hands next week it won't be home for two years. It has a
price tag and I sorely...

New Pictures by
Susan Torrens[_2_]
I just updated Webshots.
The first 7 quilts in the 2008 album are my entries into the Kingston Show.
I also re-made the dragon quilt, and sold it at the boutique. Won't know
how much I made for a while - have to give them time to get the books
balanced. With 2 guilds at the same show, some things...

Fabric Scotland? by
yspetersen
Hi all,
Does anyone know of a really good fabric store in Scotland? I live in
Dundee but am having trouble finding any shop that sells a really good
range of quality quilting fabrics. Don't really want to buy online
because I much prefer seeing what I'm going to buy. Hope someone can...

More quilts + science by
Nann
http://genomequilts.com/genome.php
An idea for a quilt that's "uniquely you," as they say.
The concept is similar to the triangle designs based on Douat's
Treatise, as popularized (among quilters) in Hooworth & Rolfe's
Spectacular Scraps"

handmade natural soap by
Hippie Chick
I learned about handmade natural soap through a friend. Once I
tried her handmade natural soap, I was hooked. I couldn't believe how
wonderful it made my skin feel. I decided that I had to open a shop
because I wanted more people to experience the amazing benefits of
natural handmade natural soap....

Basting Day! by
Debra
I spent today basting my baby quilt and helping Mom baste her big
thick one. She is using high loft batting for the first time, and has
decided this quilt is going to be too hot and heavy for her needs. She
will be sending it to my brother who lives in the mountains. He loves
a super warm quilt. ...

It's been awhile by
Patti
I was wondering where you were; glad to know there was nothing 'new'
wrong. Coincidentally, we saw a few snippets of the current state of
New Orleans in our news bulletin at lunchtime. It doesn't take much of
an imagination stretch to think what the rest of Louisiana, and the
other badly affected...

OT Bottle or Breast? (joke) by
nana2b
A woman and a baby were in the doctor's examining room, waiting for the
doctor to come in for the baby's first exam. The doctor arrived, examined
the baby, checked his weight, and being a little concerned, asked if the
baby was breast-fed or bottle-fed.
"Breast-fed" she replied.
"Well, strip down...

How to make quilt with scraps and no pattern? by
Patti
Well, Judy, if these pieces are actually cut accurately, I had a thought
for which you would need to do no extra work at all!!:
divide them into two piles - light and dark (arbitrarily decide on
whether mediums are dark or light!). Sew a light to a dark, then take
pairs of these, turn them so...

Getting something accomplished! (oops got mostly OT somehow) by
~KK in BC~
Since the weather has not been very pleasant to deal with here for the last
couple weeks, I have been inside sorting and bagging and tossing. I have
even been mailing. Yes, I am brave enough to venture out in these coldish
temperatures to hit the post office on occasion.

Who wanted "Ugly" fabric? by
Sunny
I can't remember who wanted yardage from my ugly fabric. I know it's
rude to forget and all, but.... well I forgot anyway. Please, if you
wanted some of my infamous ugly paisley on toad-spotted brown fabric,
send me an email with your snail mail address. I've got plenty to go
around, LOL....
