more PIQF by
Marcella Peek
Here's another slide show of quilts from PIQF take by the owner of
Thimble Creek quilt shop in Concord. Mine is the pineapple quilt at the
beginning - it wasn't part of the judged show, just part of an exhibit.

Making crib bumpers by
Michelle G.
First of all, I realize they are recommending that we don't use crib bumpers
at all; but, my GD is 16 months old and her mom wants new bumper pads. I
think she's too old for bumpers but. . . Anyway, can anyone tell me what to
use as the padding for the bumper pads? I've tried thick batting...

Just a happy story by
Polly Esther[_5_]
Do you remember a little more than a year ago when I made Puss in Bonnets
for an expected grand niece? The quilt was purrfect until I washed it and
the batik backing turned everything (including the zebra striped kitty, the
washing machine drum and my kitchen counter) a rowdy pink. No telling...

fabric amounts for quilts by
Taria
So I come across a neat quilt in Fons and Porter's magazine (sept./oct.
2008) It is called Mariner's in a Pickle.
It could work for what I want to do. Under the materials list is 2-3/4 yds
of 17 prints. 2 yds. for binding and
14 yards for backing. That comes to a whopping 62-3/4 yards. My...

OT NightMist is Happy Dancing! by
NightMist
At least metaphorically.
Had my follow up appointment at Roswell today.
As many of you probably already know ovarian cancer has a dismal
mortality rate. Primarily because it is usually not discovered until it
is well advanced, generally stage 3 or 4. Considering the size of the
tumor I was...

Einstein was right by
Polly Esther[_5_]
You know - that smart old man that said insanity was doing the same thing
over and over again and expecting different results.
I had a box full of somewhat neatly cut squares and strips and thought
I'd make blocks and sort of diminish the scrap collection.
Wrong. While I was putting...

quilt spotting by
claudia
Good morning everyone!
My day already started 3 hours ago (and it's Saturday!!).
While waiting for the rest of the family to wake up, I'm playing
around on the computer. And I've had it with facebook games so I
thought of something else: how many of us can name tv series or movies
in which quilts...

OT-Good News on Friend by
Steven Cook
So, my retired teacher friend had her follow-up appointment. As she said,
they squished and squeezed it every which way they could think of. Sore of
course at the end but with the new pictures compared with base-line pictures
of years past, just fibrous elements or some such thing so all is...

Random On-Topic by
Steven Cook
Hi All
Big winds today but no snow at my elevation yet. I'm attached to an anchor
so I won't blow away. But, two happy moments today when I got to thinking
about it.
First, to whomever mentioned the "stab-the-tail-twice" method after
threading your needle so it doesn't come un-threaded. You...

OT 'splain icons by
Polly Esther[_5_]
You've explained bling, blog and Hootchie Mama to me. Here's the latest
blank spot in my understanding. Is there an online place that shows icons -
those silly little symbols - and what they're supposed to mean. . . to
someone... sometime? My modem - I just barely understand that this is...
