Mailing squishie problems. by
The Laws
Someone recently said she got a torn envelope with a squishie inside. The
envelope looked like it was torn when it went through the cancellation
machine. I have gotten one of those too, and it barely made it as the
address was almost torn away. So when sending some Hug blocks, I cut 2 5x8

Google by

Is anyone else having trouble with Google digests? Unless you ladies
have been VERY quiet lately, something's wrong...I haven't gotten any
digests in days. How am I supposed to get through a work day without
digests?

Rallying UK Quilters! by
Sally Swindells
On 'This Morning' television they had...and I couldn't believe my
eyes.... a Craft Competition!
This was the first heat (Northern), and it had been slimmed down to
three people (one willow weaver, one felt-maker and one quilter) who
were then voted on by the viewers. And guess who won the heat -...

Thanks For Anniversary Good Wishes by
R. E. Wicker
Hi! I am so grateful to all of you who cared enough to drop a line.
I want to report on my shopping trip. Could not find the deep brown
in Orthopedic shoes or even shoes with arch support, so I came home
and ordered from a spot on line. This could be great, interesting or
a disaster. But my...

Love S.E.X, hate housework! Did the first yesterday (I was in Tunbridge
Wells, buying wedding dress and bridesmaid fabric with a client, and
picked up a few FQ's for squishing with), and need to pay for it by
doing the second today! Mind you, as I'm planning to tidy up the sewing
room after...

Thimbles by
Patti S
I need some thimble recommendations. I love doing hand work, and am
actually working on a project right now that uses lots of blanket
stitching. Trouble is, my finger gets so sore that I have to quit. I
bought one of those fancy, custom made silver thimbles a while ago, but

Anyone tried this book? by
joysjane
3 + 5 1/2 = Quilts?
I was just wondering if it was worth the hefty price for such a small book.
But we were talking about what to do with scraps and just wanted to know if
anyone had this book. Just saw it today and thought it looked interesting,
but pricey.

Want some squares? florida, zebras, jaguars by
quilter
Hi all. A few weeks ago, I acquired an interesting set of about 175 6
inch squares at a quilty fundraising event. They feel like cotton (and
were bought at a quilt museum, so I assume they were meant for
quilting), but a little bit stiff, almost like batik or hand dyed, so
I'm not sure if they...

We made a sandwich on my deck! by
Debra
Well I tried to sandwich the Pebbles and Bam Bam lap quilt on the bed.
Didn't work out quite right. The big fold out cardboard sewing
thingie didn't make the bed flat and hard enough to make a good flat
sandwich, so I spent a good amount of time basting with thread and
needle only to find the...

Some of you may remember that I recently began hand piecing Quilted
Diamonds from Linda Franz's second book. Part of the time while I was
worrying about DT and DBIL the past few days, I was working on one of
those blocks. This little 4" x 7" diamond block has *45* pieces!! Yikes!
Forty of those are...

"Birds in the Air" by
[email protected]
I'm thinking about making a scrappy "Birds in the Air" quilt, inspired
by a photo of one made around 1870. The blocks will be 6" or 9" and
the background fabric unbleached muslin.
I'm wondering if anyone has seen a different set for this block than
just rows of blocks in the same orientation. ...

AC Moore by
Pam in Spencerport
Anyone have an AC Moore store nearby? One is opening up here in a few
days and I'm wondering what it is like. Do they carry fabric? I'm
thinking it may be more like a Michaels than Joanne's.
