HELP!! Dead mouse odor by
Sunny[_2_]
I haven't been into my fabric storage area in the sauna in a few days.
When I walked into the sauna tonight, I was hit in the face with the
unmistakable smell of dead mouse. Groan. I'm leaving Thursday morning
very early for Phoenix. I have things to do all day tomorrow. That
means when I come back...

tidying up the back of a top before quilting by
Hanne[_2_]
Dear all,
Quilt police aside, how much do you tidy up (for lack of better
phrase) the back of your tops before layering and quilting?
I've finished a top which has a lot of (somewhat) bias edges. There is
no issue with stretching, however all those pieces fray like mad on
the back. Not like...

Fabric for curtains by
Janner
OK, having a moment here - drapery fabric, that is for curtain making
isn't it? Sorry, for the daft question, had a migraine this morning and
brain is still fuzzy. I'm dreaming of making curtains for living room,
so just having a look on Hancocks and saw some great...

Bernina question by
Sartorresartus
I have the Artista 180 (Millenium edition). Now I remember why I
haven't used the computer link up for ages. I have no serial port on
my laptop! Question: can I get a cable (does one exist?) having a USB
end and the sort of rectangular end that fits the machine? I got the
machine serviced last...

Black fabric by
Steph
Hi everyone!
I'm coming out of lurkdom to ask a question :) I love reading the
group and learn so much from you all. I'm a bit shy about posting much
though...will try to be better in the future!
My question is about quilt fabric. I know that black fabric is not all
created equal. Someone once...

Fabric and DH update by
GrammyKathy[_3_]
DH took the fabric back and got more. Found out they desided they
knew more than him when he got the first batch. THIS TIME HE picked
it out and as usual he did an awesome job. Still got more than I
needed, but that is ok cause I really needed brown.
NOW for him. He went back to the Dr and boy...

He is made in yellow flannel and is so soft and cuddly that DS2 doesn't
want him to leave.
Now I am making this changing bag for DD/DGS in a bright yellow, green

Another LQS Gone by
Debbi[_2_]
Yesterday, A Time to Sew shut their doors. It was a truly sad day. A
Time to Sew opened up many many years ago under the name Leah's. At one
time there were 7 stores. By the time I started quilting 12 years ago,
they only had 2 stores. Leah and her husband ran the stores until a few
years ago...

For years we have provided a smaller quilt for every child who has passed

laundromat irritation by
Mary
I recently purchased several very long lengths of lovely fabric for
quilting, and took it to the laundromat today to pre-wash in the giant
machines. Fine and dandy. When it was in the dryers, two mothers of
pre-school children came in with their kids, and put them ON the
oversize table to run and...

Nel - your Logo by
Ursula Schrader
Hi Nel,
I hope you don't mind if I reply on the group. Sorry for not getting back to
you sooner, but life in general came between. Your logo looks just right,
and it's yours. If possible, I rather use what I can make myself, too, so
there. As for a great future in the design sector - I strongly...

OT electric space heaters by
Leslie& The Furbabies in MO.
I like a cool bedroom but not a chilly bathroom. Is there a rating system
for small electric space heaters (bathroom is about 12 ft. X 9 ft.) that
rates how energy efficient they are? Is one type of electric heater more
energy efficient than another? (This is for USA heaters and use, of...

OT knitting by
NightMist
I like to knit.
I have an afghan I have been working on composed of strips that I plan on
connecting with Bosnian crochet ribbons. Very pretty, coming along
nicely, but I am going to have to put it up again for awhile before I
commit bloody murder. It is not frustrating for me to do the work....

A new conversion, and a new cover for it. by
John
I decided to convert the new Bernina Electric, over to Treadle power.
I like these machines so much, that I can't bring myself to use any
other machine I own. So Now I have a pristine new machine, that will
be kept in as perfect shape as I can keep it. It is going to be the
showpiece of the room....

Door County Report by

Four days of enjoying the beauty of God's creation (with a few quilt
shops visited along the way).
The drive from our home to Door County is about six hours if you take
the fastest, non-scenic highways. The weather Monday was so pretty
even the interstate was scenic. We stopped At Primitive...

Lengthening a square quilt by
Trixie[_2_]
I just finished the medallion center of a square quilt, and now need to
figure out how to lengthen it so it is bed-quilt sized. I think what I want
to do is put a row of blocks along the "top" and "bottom" so it is
rectangular. I have a bunch of striped fabric that matches the fabric used
in...
