I don't quite get the worry and paranoia associated with Facebook and the like. It only gets as much information as YOU give it! If you don't want ti to know your phone number, don't enter it. If you don't want it to know your birthday, don't tell it! While I am not advocating abandoning the group,...

I want to use Bottom Line (fine polyester thread) in the bobbin and rayon thread on top to quilt a nap-sized hug quilt for a church member. We've all heard how poly thread can 'saw thru' cotton thread/fabric... most quilters have opinions on the subject. ;-) And rayon thread is quite fragile...

I have never cared much for Facebook- maybe it's my settings. But I guess I need to ask.... how does a quilter find rctq on Facebook? I've been on rctq since the early 90s. This is a sad, sad, day. :-( Leslie & The Furbabies in MO.

I've just been playing happily (and not too expensively) with Amazon. I fancied a book on QAYG. I 'think' I get the technique, but would like a book with some good pictures and some inspiration. You-Tube was fascinating as usual, but I got side-tracked again by Missouri Quilt Shop (NAYY). Has...

I 'quilt as you go' by machine. When I join the quilted sections I add a finished size 'flap' of 3/4 to 1 in. which is folded over the raw seam on the back and hand stitched in place. No one, including me, has ever been offended by this flap but it would not give the look you are wanting. ...

I'm betting Louise will enjoy the subject line since she's into new puppy lifestyle. Anyhow, I just now happened Pati's tip on birthing quilts. Gee, Pati. I've birthed so many crib quilts and sometimes the opening has warped and wiggled. Machine basting first really surely will...

It's been 4 weeks since the first ambulance ride for chest pain and 3 weeks since double by-pass surgery. Today I finished a WH for our bedroom in the new color scheme... Ray of Hope by Carol Doak. Next will be new curtains and some throw...

One painful STEP at a time..just a very few... but DD is WALKING!!!!!!! After 5.5 months, DD has taken her FIRST STEPS. She still is in PT 3x's a week and it has paid off. She still is using the 'one-leg scooter' for most of the time and one/two hand crutches but she's walking. The 'alien'...

I decided to put another border of 1" yellow then another 3" of the blue. I have them all cut and will find time this week to finish and post another pic. thanks for everyone's input!

Happy Friday the 13th - what do you have planned for today? I'm going to wish my nephew a happy birthday (he turns 13 on Friday the 13th - I wonder if that has any special meaning!), and then I'm going to cut pieces to take with me to a sewing day tomorrow. A group of up to 15 ladies get...

There's a red, white and blue quilt on the Bernina right now to go to the military hospital in Germany. I'm FM quilting - just wandering, no particular pattern except I'm staying off of the white flying geese so they'll puff up when laundering time comes. I avoid 'big' quilts because the...

DD1 went out with friends last weekend, and since she was not driving ended up spending the night at their house. She was the first one up Sunday morning, and the dog wanted walked. She thought she would be nice and do it so everyone else could sleep in. The dog is an excitable people loving...

I am having trouble getting any messages from May 7th shrug Says "Massage no longer available on server" Any one else having this dilemma?? Nana ~*~*~*~ very curious

My mother gave us a very old hand-made qult last week when my wife and I were home on vacation. What are the best ways to store/preserve this? Thank you Chris -- Chris KeyID 0xE372A7DA98E6705C 31.11°N 97.89°W (Elev. 1092 ft)
