Here I sit at 1:30 a.m. driven out of bed and a sound sleep by my neighbor.
I've worked long hours today making a quilt for my nephew and now can't get

Is a knee lift essential? by
Hanne Gottliebsen
So I'm still using my $170 WalM**t machine for all my sewing + quilting,
and it is doing fine (ok at least), although sometimes it is a bit
stupid about choice of thread and things like that.
For the last year I have been eyeing a Bernina 153QE, but since I was
moving from the US to Europe, it was...

Please share my excitement by
Patti
It's lovely to be able to come home with exciting news, and tell
'family'!
I have been at Quilts UK show at Malvern today (where we had our usual
small, but perfectly formed meet-up); and I was delighted to find that
the quilt I have been working on for almost a year (many of you will
have heard...

Art quilts: where do I start? by
WhansaMi
I've now made two bed quilts, two baby quilts, and am finishing up a set of six
placemats (using Timm's Convergence technique). So, I'm not exactly a total
novice anymore, but I'm still very, very, VERY inexperienced. I've only used
very basic piecing techniques.
Ultimately, I want to make art...

OT - health and nutrition questions by
Queen of Squishies
DH and I are trying a combination of grape juice, apple juice, and white
vinegar - combined according to a recipe - and drink a certain amount each
day. It's supposed to lower your cholesterol, and some of the guys at work
swear it works. Anyone heard of this, or tried it?
Also, the energy drink...

DH's latest idea by
DrQuilter
DH is known to hate Sun Bonnet Sue, so he asks me after seeing a picture
of a beautifully executed SBS: Has anyone thought of making a Sunbonnet
Rex? That is, with T. rexes with bonnets instead of little girls?
Anybody up for the challenge?

Directory form changes! by
AliceW
Hi, folks. Well, I am glad everyone is finding the form easy to use, or
easier to submit your info. Based on your comments, I have made several
changes to the form.
Changed the background of the info page to make it easier to read, and added
a "gentle" reminder to not use all caps.

here are familiar with this swap already. For those of you who are
not, here is a brief summary: You choose one or 2 baseball teams to

After doing some more research, I don't think it is my computer.
For some reason the University of Washington seems to be blocking your

departments, operating systems, etc. Neither of them loaded the site.

Thoughts on arrival of new machines by

As I have been reading the NGs having to do with sewing a thought all of a
sudden occurred to me. The decisions involved, waiting for and arrival of
new machines (often referred to as my/our baby) is much like that of the
arrival of a much anticipated child. I know writing out that check after...

To wash or not to wash by
Nada
Help! I'm a little confused. I've heard people say they pre wash their
fabrics and others say they don't bother. I know it's probably best to
because of shrinkage and dye running, but do you really have to wash
everything i.e. scraps, squares, etc. or is it just large pieces?
Thanks in...

what to do with quilts by
DebsPrintOnIt
Don't say send them to me.
I make a quilt because I like the look and then I sometimes don't know what to
do with it. I made a "Deb" quilt from an RCTQ swap that sits in the closet.
Now I am finishing a "My Favorite Things" quilt and am set to take a bargello
class. These quilts are uniquely...

The Fabric Debate by

I know we've debated chain store v. quilt shop fabric to death. :-)
But, I came across an interesting article on the subject in an exerpt

It certainly won't end the debate but it was interesting...

my stash, but will be darn tired! This was fun, had not done anything like
