Hi all, Very excited. Have just found out that I am pregnant again and the baby is due first week in June. Feeling a wee bit sick but otherwise OK, but tired. Seem to be getting big quickly - almost out of my jeans already and i'm only 6 weeks. Hoping it's not twins, or triplets.... Morag

At the second hand store I found a Singer French addtion treadle machine. They want 50 euro for it, but I can talk him down to 35 or 40 ($75 talk down to $50ish) except for the band which needs tightening it is in perfact condition. I am busy talking my self out of it. DH says Why do you need that...

You aren't gonna believe how great they turned out. Thank you all for your suggestions. I actually took them! I went this morning and bought eyelet and ummmm (lost my brain cells) well, you'll see, the burgundy round stuff. I love them and I am sure my DDIL will...

Hey Sandy, My Mum is talking about possibly making a trip to Las Vegas while I am there. If we do, I am guessing it will be sometime during the last two weeks in June, are you going to be around for a meet-up? Shona, arranging arranging, in NZ

Had a quilting realization yesterday--I've come full circle. When I first started quilting, I did everything by hand because I didn't know much about using a sewing machine, and mine was temperamental to boot. When I finally got a good sewing machine, I vowed to become comfortable with it, and...

Anyone here have a quilt on display at the New City NY library? There were about 10 and they were beautiful. Lee rarebirdyatverizondotnet Park Ridge, NJ

I purchased some wooden boxes- I think of them as Treasure Boxes- at Hobby Lobby. (They run $20-30 but I've managed to catch them at half price sales in early December and stock up!) The boxes have an area with glass for a 4X6 in. photo. And, of course, a 4X6 quilted postcard fits in there! ...

My Janome 6600 sm decided it had enough after one handbag! The stinker- it quit making stitches, so Monday morning off to the repair shop it goes. I switched to my little Janome Jem and made a tote to be used with a walker. If you click on each picture, there is a description under the...

Well, firstly, I missed you guys even though I lurked when I could. I am finally homebased for a while from all my travels and actually fondled fabric today - boy did that feel good. I kept you all in my thoughts and prayers even if you didn't need it. Those that did, got extra helpings. And...

The walking foot has feed dogs to move the top of the fabric while the feed doge under the fabric are moving the botton of the fabric. The guide is used so that if you quilt in straight lines that you get the lines evenly spaced across the quilt--the quilt guide is placed on one of the lines you've...

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...

This was going to be the year to make Me a quilt, as well as a BOM, and possibly a quilt for DD. I may still get to do all of those but they got pushed back. Life came and said..you know that quilt you always wanted to make for DMIL? Its time. She needs it now. So, I am listening. She...

I need some help- recently on a trip, I was in a small quilt shop and the owner showed me a darling wall hanging with a row of pumpkins and a kitty s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d out in front of them. It was aproximately 18" X 30" but when I asked to see the pattern, she said she didn't have it yet, this was...

Hi, several weeks ago DD asked: may I sew something ? I hadn't even finished the answer 'Yes, you may' when she already began to select some of my best pinks. She sewed some things before, but this is the first time she cut the squares by herself. When the squares were sewn together, I convinced...

I'm off to Paris tomorrow night for four days (plus travel). Does anyone have any recommendations for fabric or quilty things while I'm there? Thank you in advance!! NS

Hi, This group is always a wealth of knowledge and suggestions, so I turn to all of you asking for ideas on a gift for a fellow quilter. It should cost about $15-$20. So what would you want to receive in that price range? TIA, Nancy in MD
