THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You ROCK! Lina and Alena

As most of you know I am a total newby at making quilts but very excited about learning. I decided that my first project would be a doll quilt for my DGD. I make a lot of doll clothes for her anyway and this will be a nice addition to her collection. It doesn't hurt, of course, that it is...

Hi, all. I have tons of quilting magazines that must go. Is anyone interested in them? Some go back to the 80's, from a friend of mine, and some of mine are only a few years old. I was thinking I could send a few to anyone who is interested, however many will fit in some large envelopes I...

Hi All, I know everyone enjoys looking at pictures, so I've put new ones on my newsgroup page at: http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/~ae862/RCTQ/ Still doing baby quilts - one mailed, one sandwiched, one in progress and one more to plan (so far). For grand kids of a dear friend, SIL and BIL I'm...

Dear Friends, I just received a gentle prompt from one of you, that people have been trying to reach me and my other e-mail addresses were no longer functional (a case of not being able to pay those bills...)I was also frankly ashamed to admit that I was telemarketing for a living: I am now...

All, Just making the announcement that my seasonal/quarterly one-to-one swaps are on hold. I am having some bad experiences with things that I am hosting and I am feeling a little turned off/burned out right now. Since I know so many of you enjoy them and look forward to them, I don't want to say...

I want to thank everyone for all the prayers and hugs. They mean so much to us. Just keep them coming ...... we have another conference with the Oncologist next week, so we will see how things are going. Meanwhile, I have actually done something with all my nervous energy! I finally updated my...

It seems to me that Paducah is one of the biggie quilt show Does anyone here enter their quilt? And get selected or not? Does a chosen quilt have to be absolutely perfect to be picked for the show? (in construction and quilting)? I presume the competiton is fierce for getting a quilt...

It is the day after the class and I can just about move my upper body. I really enjoyed the class and plan to go back. I guess I am a glutton for punishment. I figure once I get over the initial aches, it will benefit me. As long as I can still make it to the computer and sewing room I...

Well, last Thursday evening I sat down to try and let you all know that I have finished piecing my Dear Jane quilt. All 169 4 1/2 inch blocks, 52 triangles (app. 5"x7") and four corner kites. I even have all the rows sewn together with sashing, and the horizontal sashing on part of it. And all...

Finally figured out how to do the scanning and the posting of pics of things I have done. Still have a couple other pics that are still in my ancient film camera. Not much of a photographer. Just do enough to take a shot or two now and then. Hope you find my work acceptable, in spite of the...

Well, the wedding is Saturday and I have the quilt all finished, labeled and washed ready to give. The DWR I have been working on for my niece is done. Woo Hoo!!! Don't have a photo up but it is real similar to the one I made for my folks 50th anniversary quilt. Floral fabrics with green...

ezzzactly. so - the perennial question - who is going and when. I DO hope the weather will be better than last year - I came and went in one day spending probably equal amounts of time at the show and in the car - left home at 5 am I think and got home at 10 or 11 pm.....damp and tired. this year...

The post brought TWO brown paper parcels today! Lovely anonymously square boxes - not clue to the content, as the PO had managed to rip the relevant bits off the customs stickers! One was the pinking device for the treadle from Cathy in Virginia... Cor! This is a fun gadjit! ;) DH had his head...

Could it be fleece??? Kris "Emilia" wrote in message ... I'm looking for some fabric online as I can't find it here in the deserts of Switzerland.... but I don't know what to look for as I don't know what it's...

I just posted a picture of my first attempt at Paula Nadelsterns kaleidoscope blocks. Early this morning I decided how I'm going to quilt it, so today I will begin that. I'm thinking of a few clear seed beads to dress up the inner star. Opinions? http://community.webshots.com/user/hicall Karen,...

This is just so scary. I haven't heard a peep from the folks who went to Paducah, not a phone call from a Bail Bondsman (which could mean the judge is not allowing bail), nothing from the Chief of Police, no protests from the Decency Council. I'm afraid to ask but I will. What do you think...

I'd like to thank everyone for their tips on the panne velvet vest I made for my SIL. She loved it! The suggestion about using flannel instead of batting was an excellent one; the vest drapes nicely. I didn't tack anything down nor did I quilt through the lining, but it still came out nice. If...

Tia Mary's question about how to do a pillow with quilt blocks got me to thinking, because I am doing several patchwork-fronted pillows/cushions for Christmas 2004 presents. Do not panic, I am not an overachiever, but I will be in Russia at Christmastime (25th December is not their Christmas, it...

After we were forced to have our beloved Muffin put to sleep last summer, I swore I was never going thru that again. Well, here it is, less than a year later and we have acquired 2 dogs. DH got Holly in November. She is a Chesapeake Bay Retriever. We have enjoyed her so much that I decided...
