Placement of sewing machine by
Jane MacDonald
Glacier My husband is making me a sewing table, just a piece of
countertop with a hole cut out, in which to set the sewing machine. The
problem I have with my present cabinet is that I can't sit directly in front
of the needle, but have to "lean to the left" to sew. I also find that the
needle...

OT Humour - Written & Spoken English by
CATS
If you can pronounce correctly every word in this poem, you
will be speaking English better than 90% of the native
English speakers in the world. After trying the verses, a
Frenchman said he'd prefer six months of hard labour to
reading six lines aloud. Try them yourself.

Polly's gators by

Okay, we'll all have to get busy here. One of Polly's gators is getting
so hungry for inept medical staff, rotten salespeople, etc., that it
tried to ring a doorbell to enter a home! I saw it on the news this

a new development in Scotland by
Jack Campin - bogus address
The ban on smoking in public places in Scotland came into force today.
I was playing at an afternoon folk session, the difference was amazing
(mainly, people talk much more quietly when they're not smoking, so we
could hear what we were doing a lot better - more details in a post I
made to...

Ethical question about quilt shows by
Sunny[_2_]
I was admiring the gorgeous quilt that won the top prizes at this
year's local guild quilt show a few weeks back today. It was made by
one of the owners of the LQS here. I opined that picking the fabrics
must have been really a hoot when she said that she hadn't picked any,
it was a kit.
OK, I...

What do you like/don't you like about quilting? by
\Pussywillow\ Volfie
I was piecing a block today and it occured to me that there are very
specific parts of building a quilt that I like and very specific parts I
don't like (or don't like as much).
I like looking at patterns and designs and dreaming up quilts.
I like finding, buying, washing, ironing, cutting the...

Copyright and stealing (ON topic) by
Kathy Applebaum
I've been rather bothered over the last few days by the posts indirectly
addressing copyright issues here. This is a subject that's been hashed over
many times before, and not a lot that's new is ever added to this debate.
Still, I feel I need to vent.
I've seen several posts advocating the...

I have been pursuaded to make this public for the good of all. I didn't

wasn't my fault. I'm just too nice. : )
I got an email, and a follow-up phone conversation, from someone who was
around 5 years ago. This woman...

World quilt help by
Shona in NZ
Hello all,
I have an idea and thought I might get some ideas from your collective
wisdom.
I have a friend who just loves world maps. He will sit for hours looking at
the one hanging on his wall. So I thought it would be fitting to make him a
world quilt of sorts. He REALLY likes my NZ critter...

What part of quilting do you enjoy the most? by
Lynne Van
We've had this conversation before, but it's been awhile.
Really, I have two questions:
1. What technique do you like the best (appliqué, piecing, paper
piecing, etc.) Why?
2. What part of the quilting process do you enjoy the
most?(design, fabric selection, piecing, quilting, etc.)Why?
And...
