OT Starting Christmas shopping in May by
NightMist
OK, I'm only doing it because I found a thing cheap and expect the
thing I want to go with it to be hard to find.
I'm picking up hardcover copies of "The Box of Delights" and
"Midnight Folk" by John Masefield.
Now the part I need help with.
In about 1989 the BBC did a six part series of "The Box...

Machine and Hand Quilting by
M Glenn
I haven't been quilting very long and now I want to try quilting by hand. I
have the top of the quilt (wall hanging) pieced and want to machine quilt
(stitch in the ditch) some of the areas, but want to hand quilt designs
(I've already marked them) in other areas. Now for the dumb question ....

World WIde Quilt Show by
Sharon Harper
Hey Jeri!
I was going to do this but my problem is - I'm gonna be in Hawaii!!! Should
I remove the spread from my bed there and hang it over the balcony and take
a photo? Or can I send in a photo early and "pretend" it was on the 5th?

Rotary auction! by
nbhilyard
My Rotary club had its major fundraiser today: a golf outing. The weather
was terrible with rain in the morning and drizzle in the afternoon. The
golfers were intrepid but came in for cocktails and dinner pretty wet and
cold.
I contributed my Floating Four Patch to the live auction. It brought...

On the road again! by

Well, I'm just about ready to go to bed before heading off on another road
adventure. Not sure where it will end, but our first destination is going
to be Salt Lake City in Utah.
Last time we headed down that way was 2000, just before I had my ankle
surgery. I'd hoped to get to Albuquerque but...

Valerie Wells pattern, anyone has seen it? by
QuiltShopHopper
There's a quilt pattern that looks like square and rectangle picture frames
layered one on top of the other, 3-D looking, by Valerie Wells. My LQS
owner has it at her home, and I can't find it anywhere on line. I need it
desperately. Has anyone here seen it? It's new, I think.
Thanks for any...

gift vouchers for fabric online - UK by
Morag in Oxford
Hi all,
It's my birthday coming up and my Mum would like to buy me some gift

would this be a problem? by
KJ
I got my pictures back from the AQS show and thought about putting some of
them online so you all could see them. Then I got to thinking the owners of
the quilts might not want them out for public viewing on the internet. I
know I've seen quilts from other shows on webpages, but I wouldn't want...

OT-anyone else having trouble w/aol? by
Suequiltmail
Hi All,
AOL has been so unresponsive this week!
The good news is I can read this newsgroup,
but can't access websites!
THEY blame my firewall, as in "did you update
your security lately, that's probably it." and
"turn off your firewall and internet security to
sign on or go to websites."
