OT Neighbor making me miserable by Kate Dicey
"Kate T." wrote: 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 any sleep. I was dreaming of a luscious chocolate cake piled high with fluffy dark chocolate icing sitting on my...

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? -- Dr....

Just being nosy. by MoragP
What was the easiest quilt/block you ever made? Which was the most difficult? Which was the most fun? Have you made one for yourself? What's the dumbest mistake you ever made in quilting?

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. I changed the...

2004 Baseball Swap by Smeggey
It is almost time for the 2004 Baseball Swap signups. Many of you 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 back. You swap 6 1/2" squares of fabric (100% cotton only!) based on how many wins and losses...

ritasquilts by Dr. Quilter
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 site. DH tried it from his computer at work and so did I, different departments, operating systems, etc. Neither of them loaded the site. On the other hand, he...

Thoughts on arrival of new machines by Valkyrie
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...
