As newbies come and introduce themselves, we all say "hi" back to them. But, while we learn a bit about them, they don't get to know us very easily. (ok, except for a few gabby folks.... ;-P ) So, as a start to a new year, I thought it would be fun to tell a bit about ourselves, and get to know...

While looking for something else entirely, I came across the "Kali" tiling pattern generator for Classic MacOS. It creates patterns based on the 17 different plane symmetry groups. Within about five minutes of initial tinkering with it I came up with...

I swear that the Baby Lock Quest Plus that they sent me "in exchange" for that lemon Quest I had IS THE SAME MACHINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As long as I was piecing, or free motioning on a thin wall quilt, which were the first 2 projects I tackled, it seemed to work fine, though I did notice that...

I'm planning some programs for the...

Sometime within the next few months I'll be responsible for our quilt guild's monthly meeting. Usually we have some kind of a demo or a talk about a quilting related subject. I'd like to "get out of the box" and do something different. A game night comes to mind only I need help in figuring out...

Just wondering. Give a check in if you are still here. Maybe if others realize folks still check here they might post? Taria

I have three kittens one is 6 months old and the other two are 4 months old. All of them like to law at the end of the sofa. I have tried spraying them didn't work. I tried chasing them with a paper bag with noisy things in it. I just looked like a fool running around the house. Then when I sat the...

Our own near and dear in the military are all back in the states this Christmas season. Praise God. I want someone to send pralines to overseas and it's getting to be time to cook and get them shipped. Do any of you have a deployed kin that would enjoy (and maybe even share) candy from...
