my life. Moving in with fiance and his 90 yo mom. We will be...

OT OT New car troubles by
Ginger in CA
Sigh. It's the 13th of the month. Should have known.
Spotted a drip a couple weeks ago under Gulliver (my new Tribute). Put
down cardboard to check exactly where it is coming from, just a couple
drops each day. Hmmm, keep my eye on that.
Went to a not-so-local quilt group last Monday and felt...

While parts of the country are suffering non-stop rain, we are in the
midst of a terrible heat wave. It is 100 degrees here right on the

OT Questions Cell phone and flying by
Ginger in CA
Two questions for this afternoon, my cyber-friends
Does anyone here have TracPhone celular phone service? If so, do you
like it, what phone do you have? Anything to be wary of? I am thinking
of moving to them, since I can port my current cell number.
Second question has to do with flying in these...

Joanne. I provided a blank journal for people to write...

Singer 15 knockoff by
Ginger in CA
So I took Scout down to the sewing machine
guru. I thought the wiring and switch from foot pedal to motor needed
to be replaced, as it had stopped running in Jan at the retreat. Today
he tested it, ran just fine. Showed him the bare wire just downstream
of the motor going to pedal. He told me he...

Well, today is Sadie Hawkin's Day, 29 Feb.
My sweetie Jim did one better than that. He proposed to me this

It's that time of year. Actually, my DMIL-to-be feels there doesn't
have to be a big day like St. Patrick's Day to make this ;)) At 92
active years old, she has what the family refers to as "a tremendous
thirst"!
Made this last night and wanted to share with everyone:

Teaching a new quilter by

Howdy all!
A co-worker has asked me to teach her to quilt. She is not comfortable
in group settings, and has a hectic schedule. She doesn't know how to
sew, but has done needlepoint, cross-stitch, and macrame so she knows

Old Kenmore machine by

A local person has a Kenmore model 158 1400 for sale, for $35. Can't
find anything on this machine. Does it do more than straight stitch?
Anyone know where I can find info on this before I think seriously
about getting this to replace my Scout who is now unsafe to use....
