Hi everyone We usually have very mild temperatures on the west coast of Canada and little snow. Last week we had a blast of snow and became the laughing stock of Canada with pictures of cars sliding down hills on the cross Canada newscasts. Everything then turned sunny and stayed below 0C for...

One New Year's resolution taken care of in January! Susan Laity Price and I have had some e-correspondence both on and off the newsgroup. A while ago we realized that we really ought to get together in person sometime, seeing as we live about 60 miles apart (she west of Chicago and I north). That...

We're going to be having our annual quilt show here in this area April 8-10. If any of you are planning a little get-away, this would be a terrific time to do it! g -- Sandy in Henderson, near Las Vegas my ISP is earthlink.net -- put sfoster1(at) in front http://home.earthlink.net/~sfoster1 AKA...

Next Thursday, February 3, at 10 PM (this is in NY so check your listings) there is a program on channel 13. It is the story of the Gees Bend Quilts with pictures of the quilts and interviews with the quilters, families, etc. It should be quite good. In case anyone is interested. Nana

Ok, I know I really ought to label my quilting, but I really don't know what the daylights to put on it. I don't have access to a nice embroidery machine and I'm afraid the fabric markers will fade out. What do you use/suggest? Is there an inexpensive service to get custom embroidered labels?...

I have just sat down to quilt my first quilt. Invisible thread in the top and Gutterman in the bottom (polyester, this isn't a heirloom quilt and I have a broken toe so can't get to the shops!). But, whatever tension setting I put the machine on (from extremely low to extremely high) the bottom...

Rita, I can't get your web site to open. Any suggestions??? Kris ( in a very cold northern Virginia)

Well, yes, I've discovered all the bits inside it. And no, I didn't take it apart step by step. It kinda slipped and fell apart. I always take things apart if they're not working properly. The walking foot seemed to be binding slightly. The arm that hooks on the needle clamp didn't move...

Make Tons Of Money Fast! I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are, and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with an initial investment of $6.00! I thought," Scam", but I was curious, so I kept reading. It said : send $1.00...

Well, after a week of fiddling with insurance/doctor/pharmacy I finally got my prescription for Zyban. In 5 days I start the patches. I don't know how it's going to work, but DH and I are doing this together, so wish us luck! ~handmaiden

Hope the Holiday Happiness sprites are visiting your home! Rather than the December stress gremlins that are attempting to invade mine! Looking forward to January, I will be traveling to Reseda, California to do a seminar with my DS's high school art students on Telling Stories thru Quilts and...

It has been a while since we had a roll call of online stores that we love, for their selection, service, prices and sale values. If you feel you want to warn people of a business that does less than beautifully then please do, lets not get unpleasent. State facts. Thats good enough. I'm really...

One of our Project Linus volunteers emailed me that she had just come home from the Road to California quilt show and saw a quilt binding tool that she thought would be great for Project Linus. Said it cost around $225, but he would be willing to give PL their show price which was $109. She said...

Mom has decided that she wants to make a yo-yo quilt to fit a miniature brass bed. And I do mean MINIATURE. So far I've collected two beds--one 5x6", the other 2x3". So while she does that, I'd like to surprise her with a bed with a pieced quilt. I'm thinking that foundation piecing is the way...

evening ladies, I have just spent 30 minutes on the kitchen floor wrestling with my washing machine, draining the water out of it and getting soaked in the process. This was all caused by a mangled object - most probably one of hubby's work socks - wrapped all around the filter. He hasn't...

Hi, my small quilting group has made about 21 quilts and sent them to Quilters Guild of Southern Maryland, contanct Pat ..... http://www.qgsm.org/ .....someone in our group heard, also, that Walter Reed Hospital is no longer accepting quilts....So I emailed Pat and she said ...YES, emphatically,...

I am looking for ideas or patterns for 4 inch blocks of numerous fabrics. I must be addicted to e-bay purchases of this size block. (it was almost as much fun as quilting) Any suggestions for projects other than joining them together in rows? thank you in advance.

I'm just not. They're not appreciated and I'm not doing it anymore. *I* don't have a quilt that I made for myself and about half of the ones I've given as gifts ended up being tossed in a closet* or the owner turns on me ("Surprise! Ya' didn't know I didn't really like ya', did ya'?") or they...
