I believe that one was shown on a Simply Quilts. It had envelopes for secret things. Sorry I do not remember the artist. Maybe someone on the list will know. -- Sugar & Spice Quilts by Linda E http://community.webshots.com/user/frame242

It seems that my appliquéd garland could be embellished with a bit of paint or pen, whiskers on the bumble bee or tendrils on the vines - that sort of fine detail. I am wondering which paint or pen would fill this bill, be permanent and not wander, feather or bleed. There are lots of fabric...

Some of my newsgroups subjects are highlighted in red amongst the black letters. Can anybody tell me why? Pami

DH helped me pin-baste a queen-size rail fence quilt yesterday. Today I managed to get all the straight line quilting done, and started on the free motion. I also ran my quilting group this afternoon. I had a small group, but I'm sure it will grow when the next newsletter comes out. We had a...

Hey Everyone: Yes it's me asking more questions about SM. I found a SM. that is suppose to be a clone of the Brother 1500 for Babylock. From what little I've read, its in competition with Brother and Juki. No price quotes found yet. Has anyone seen this machine or demonstrations. Know of...

Just email and I will send it to you. Looks a little different than before; I have to forward it to you and fill in fields including your email addy. I'm not sure, but this may get you on the JoAnn email list(?) if you are not already on it. Also, this is the same DeNise posting from my hotmail...

Thanks to everyone. I am stitching stars on the dark blue sections and will do swirls in the other sections. I just drew the stars free-hand and am using gold thread....one section is done and DH likes it. I think there are about 15 stars in each section...............I will post pictures when...

I purposely did not post that I was going out of town for Thanksgiving, but someone managed to raid me anyway! I'm missing a large stack of fabric - some nice new plaids, a couple of non-metallic golds that are just perfect for a long-term WIP Christmas quilt, some gold lame that jumped into...

sound yummy? ;-) A friend of mine is going to Egypt in January and has asked if she buys fabric there, if I will make her a quilt. She'll pay me for my time, plus - I get to keep leftovers. So, I'm figuring a baby quilt would do.... ;-) Seriously now.... she asked if I only work with 100%...

Ok. So it isn't the condo with the large sewing area, but it's a nice condo (end unit with lots of light). It is in the same complex as Xs new condo (but not too close!). The kids can walk thru the woods on a path to get back and forth as need be. So it is going to be the best situation for all. I...

Emails are bouncing from you folks. Could you please email me privately? I don't want to reveal full names so I hope you recognize your name: jeanbaby, LisaE and GrovesPC. Thanks! -- Alice in NJ, Royal Cybrarian www.ourcyberfamily.us "Animals are such agreeable friends - they ask no questions,...

Just a little more info for those of you who are planning a trip to GStreet Fabrics: The Old Farmer's Almanac sez: Accumulating snowfall from Dec. 5 thru 10; from Jan. 7 thru 10; Jan. 17 thru 21. O.F.A. claims an 80% accuracy rate, with an almost on-the-nose prediction of 2002's record-breaking...

I attended a guild Christmas meeting and won a $10 gift certicate from Fields Fabric. Since I have no plans on visiting Michigan any time in the near future - or the far future either - (I live in PA) I have no use for it. If you live near any of their stores in Michigan ( Kentwood, Kalamazoo,...

Howdy! Celebrate for at least a week! What'd you get? Quilty stuff? A quilt from LN? Shopping trip? Cake? Got Cake?!!? Cheers and Hugs, Ragmop/Sandy

.... and brought me a Babylock Quilters Choice machine :-D How come nobody told me the newer (post-1968) machines did all that neat stuff? It cuts its own thread, threads its own needle, makes about a bazillion fancy stitches all by itself, makes buttonholes all by itself. Man, I have to un-plug...

Grrr! I spent most of yesterday sewing DS's new Christmas stocking. When I printed out the pattern (the cowboy boot one from familyfun.com) it looked enormous. DH said it was too big. Since he has to help St. Nicholas fill them, I agreed to reduce it. So, I found some Christmas fabric,...

I have blocks of fleece cut to crib size and miles of satin blanket binding. One by little one, I'm pinning the binding on and mitering the corners, SM stitching with a pretty loop-de-loop that covers a multitude of sins. This ought to hug a lot of little Linus guys for Christmas and they can rub...

Just got an email telling my I have to reenter information for my Visa account. Much like previous PayPal and Earthlink scam emails, the link included is made to look like it points to visa.com, while it really points to a fake page. Be alert for such scams. Remember that if a web link has a "@"...

I tried a usenet newsgroup forwarder for awhile...it let me "read" r.c.t.q., but I couldn't post. *That* was a bummer! Me, read messages but not reply?!?!??! I think NOT!!!! Now I'm trying supernews which is free the first 30 days then it will be less than $5 a month. AND (if this shows up), I can...
