Hi!
{Waving Wildly!!} I'm working on my RR. (Which I'm super excited about!) I sort of joined at the last minute, by accident, and it has really pushed me, both color and sewing skills wise... I have to re-baste the baby quilt I'm working on.. I used pins before I learned that hand quilting needs to be basted with thread (b/c of the hoop!) I have to start designing the Christmas tree skirt for my MIL That is sort of the immediate queue... There might be some other small Christmas projects in my horizon... cookie bags and throw pillow type stuff.. The far off future... A charm quilt (lap) for my grandma based on the Baseball swap fabric. A quilt or large WH for my mother with fabric and design already picked out, hopefully in time for her B-day mid Jan. A quilt/ WH small to med. sized for a friend. fabric and pattern also picked out... no date on that.. And one day, a sampler for me... But I haven't finished buying fabric for it so it's some ways down the line... g Thanks for asking. Gave me an excuse to write it all down! NS Pati Cook wrote: STUFF WAS HERE...

LOL!!
Once in a while I still flounce (or am mistaken for flouncing!)- and BOY! Does my mom get mad! LOL! NS Ellison wrote: Howdy! My mom would smack me even now for flouncing out of the room. We are a non-flouncing family; we stand our ground and listen to both sides of the issue, or all 7 sides, whatever, and we even do some yelling to be heard. But we do not flounce off in a huff. Maybe Debbie will finish even more quilts now without RCTQ to interrupt her. I hope she comes back to show them off. I hope she comes back to enjoy the neighborhood.

It's a "special". The regular price is $29.99, so if you use a 40% off
coupon, you would save an extra $2 & since there's a bunch of new internet coupons floating around - why not Pauline "Natalie" wrote in message news:NfTWc.2998$9P.2167@trnddc04... Is this a special or a coupon? Thanks! NS Pati Cook wrote: Check the newest mailer for TSWLTH, there is a special on a 7 pack of 45mm rotary blades that includes a little rotary cutter lapel/hat pin.

Some klutz here surely does use them up quickly. I don't know who but have noticed that my rulers don't exactly have square corners anymore. A screw loose at the controls strikes again, and again.

And did you see the earlier post about TSWLTF? They have a special Olfa 7
pk for $19.99 (regularly $29.99), but if you use a 40% off coupon, it's $17.99. Pauline "Natalie" wrote in message news:zcTWc.2966$9P.1972@trnddc04... Oh! Does anyone know where to get bulk blades? I found one place that sold 5 for $29 but with $6 shipping it didn't help much... Any other recommendations? (I usually wait till I have a STWLTH coupon...) NS Shona in NZ wrote: Oh yes!

Please don't feel timid about sharing any great deals you discover, some of us sorely need them. Polly Especially on rotary cutter blades. I'd buy them in bulk the way I do needles if I could save money on them. --Lia |

I'm working on a Rail fence WH for my mom, a Debbie Mumm calender panel WH
for both my parents, I have a Halloween quilt-for-me waiting for backing and batting, a friendship star quilt waiting for borders, batting and backing, two RR (only one left to do though), a block swap, an ornament exchange, AND I'm handpiecing a Sister's Choice quilt for my aunt, who happens to be a nun (i.e sister in French). She's given all kinds of scraps and has more for me next time I'm in Quebec (like maybe next summer, hopefully). Wow, that's a lot more than I thought. I'd better get cracking!

Somehow, writing it all down makes it seem a lot more daunting. You may not
want to do that anymore. I love the idea of a Sister's Choice for your aunt. Its one of my favorite blocks and the play on words is great! Well... looks like you have enough to do for the next couple of weeks. ;-) Diana "Michelle in Gander" wrote in message ...

I use pins to baste for hand-quilting and have never had problems with pins and the hoop. I've got several tops pieced and waiting to be machine quilted. I'm at handquilting a crib quilt made from blocks my mother embroidered and a queen size jewel box for me. Next piecing project is a YBR for a friend's baby.

Natalie,
Before I knew any better, I pin basted a quilt for hand quilting. Now that I know better, I'll probably do the same thing again ;-) Pin basting is soooooo much easier IMHO than thread basting. And the pins really didn't get in the way of the hoop all that much. No prob to move one or two. -- Anne in CA "It's not having what you want; it's wanting what you've got." -- Sheryl Crow http://home.covad.net/~arudolph/annes.htm Natalie wrote: snipped I have to re-baste the baby quilt I'm working on..
