the more the merrier by
Louise in Iowa[_2_]
You're an enabler! The last thing I need is one more way to spend time at the computer (I'm on it too much as
it is!), but it looks like this might have some real possibilities. Darn you!

PNQE by
idahoqltr
I am going to the Mancuso show in Greater Philly Expo Center next
Thurs. and then on to visit my aunt in New Holland, PA. Anyone else
going? I was going to go last year, but my travelling companion was
sick the morning we were to leave and my daughter's father-in-law was
tin the hospital,...

quilter dilemma by
Taria
On the blog here for Sept. 9:

What a bad situation. I am glad I don't send my quilts out but for those
that do communication is a big deal.

Photogenic memory by
Polly Esther[_5_]
Yes. I know. The expression is photographic memory - but I have learned
how to use the camera for memory.
One of the Christmas tree skirts began with a printed panel. Of course,
none of the blocks were straight or square. Step 1 was to cut them apart
and attempt to square them.
Step...

I Decided to Pack It In. by
John
Well. If I am going to pack it in, I will need a bag to pack it into.
Right? Here you are presented with a Weekender Man Bag that is done up
in the Log Cabin Pattern. See where this whole "Man Bag" thing is
going. What could be more "manly" than the Log Cabin Pattern? Right?
Rough hewn work by the...

OT Slow cooker (crock pot) recipes by
Lizzy Taylor
I have a slow cooker / crock pot and should and would like to use it
more. My problem is that the gravy is always very thin when I do meaty
casseroles and such and then I have to mess about thickening it which
seems to negate the idea of an easy one pot meal.
Do any of you have a favourite...

Another project done by
IMS[_6_]
There is a very dedicated nurse/administrator who has done a LOT
(more than I could ever imagine in fact) to help me deal with the BC
surgery and treatment side effects. I made a table runner for her,
which I just finished yesterday. ...

Cinnamon (NOT OT) by
Sartorresartus
I was reading somewhere over the past week or two about using ground
cinnamon spice for quilt marking.
Over the past couple of weeks I have been marking out a new
wholecloth. It's been a pain.
However, I learned some stuff. I usually use either a Roxanne marker
(Quilter's choice) or a...

New quilt finished - pix by
Bronnie[_2_]
I have just finished a Japanese fabric inspired quilt called
"Kirichigae" which means 'changed cut'. Named after the block (#39)
in the book "Japanese Quilt Blocks, to mix & match" by Susan Briscoe.
The block comprises a set of four 6in. blocks using a 4" centre and
striped fabric which is...

Gorgeous work, as usual, Steve. The colors just sing. I like the style
of the birds, in particular. Just lovely.
Btw, we're all getting older. ;)

Back to School by
Lizzy Taylor
After 7 long weeks the boys are both back in school as of this morning.
Now I can work longer and more productive hours at work which I hope
will translate to better down-time at home including more quilting and
catching up on stuff.
I feel almost sane!

OT OT how to destroy by
Polly Esther[_5_]
I need to destroy a computer. It's not that I'm angry or anything. I just
need it destroyed to ashes.
There's nothing on it that would be particularly useful to the law
enforcement drones - just stuff that's personal and I don't want to share.
Do I take a screwdriver and axe,...

How To Become a Basket Case! by
John
This is the last of these things I am going to do. They are just too
hard to sew. When you have to sew together 4 layers of canvas, two
layers of batting and Pellon stiffener, it is more than a simple
mechanical sewing machine can handle. I had to hand sew the bottom to
the side by rotating the...

OT no brakes on Hurricanes by
Polly Esther[_5_]
I'm hoping all our friends on the Atlantic coast even inland as much as 200
miles are paying serious attention to Hurricane Earl.
Hurricanes do not roar up to the beach and slam on brakes. They weaken
just a little when they hit land but they spawn tornadoes and all manner of
misery.

Mystery Bag Revealed. by
John
Ok. So it really isn't a mystery. But it might have been a mystery,
if I could have completed it as one. Let me explain. This Large,
Shoulder Tote/Weekender bag, started out to be a Back Pack of the
Bergen Rucksack type. I bought a bunch of heavy weight cotton canvas
for the structural foundation...

Needing Grinch Christmas authority by

What was I thinking? Our youngest daughter, DDIL, Grand and BF asked for
Christmas tree skirts back last December and I thought that would be such a
happy, easy gift for all 4 of them.
The one on the design wall just now is for DD. She is such a fan of The
Grinch. The stash had some...
