OT OT New car troubles by Ginger in CA
Sigh. It's the 13th of the month. Should have known. Spotted a drip a couple weeks ago under Gulliver (my new Tribute). Put down cardboard to check exactly where it is coming from, just a couple drops each day. Hmmm, keep my eye on that. Went to a not-so-local quilt group last Monday and felt...

Am applying a doubled mitered binding exactly as I've done before, but this time by Ginger in CA
Hi Phyllis If you feel doubtful, then use a double thread. It may take a bit more effort and time now, but at least you won't be wondering about it in the future. Just my thoughts Ginger in CA Phyllis Nilsson wrote: it looks as though the hand stitches (each one a back stitch, 8 to the inch)

OT Weather woes by Ginger in CA
While parts of the country are suffering non-stop rain, we are in the midst of a terrible heat wave. It is 100 degrees here right on the coast of central Calif, for the 7th day in a row. No relief at night. I did laundry early this morning at 6AM to not abuse the power grid. There are multiple...

Two questions for this afternoon, my cyber-friends Does anyone here have TracPhone celular phone service? If so, do you like it, what phone do you have? Anything to be wary of?

Back in early Janaury I told you about the quilt I was making for a co- worker dealing with inflammatory breast cancer. Top was made, tied the quilt in a grid, placed in about 100 more ties for co-workers to "tie a knot/think a thought" for Joanne. I provided a blank journal for people to write...

Singer 15 knockoff by Ginger in CA
So I took Scout down to the sewing machine guru. I thought the wiring and switch from foot pedal to motor needed to be replaced, as it had stopped running in Jan at the retreat. Today he tested it, ran just fine. Showed him the bare wire just downstream of the motor going to pedal. He told me he...

OT OT Leap year Good news by Ginger in CA
Well, today is Sadie Hawkin's Day, 29 Feb. My sweetie Jim did one better than that. He proposed to me this afternoon during a picnic in a wilderness park. Just the lizards, tree squirrels and chattering scrubjays to witness it all, under an old oak tree. We had decided when he proposed we would...

OT Irish Cream recipe by Ginger in CA
It's that time of year. Actually, my DMIL-to-be feels there doesn't have to be a big day like St. Patrick's Day to make this ;)) At 92 active years old, she has what the family refers to as "a tremendous thirst"! Made this last night and wanted to share with everyone: Ingredients 3 large eggs 1...

Teaching a new quilter by Ginger in CA
Howdy all! A co-worker has asked me to teach her to quilt. She is not comfortable in group settings, and has a hectic schedule. She doesn't know how to sew, but has done needlepoint, cross-stitch, and macrame so she knows hand-eye coordination. She seems to have a good sense of color based on what...
