I wonder if anyone here could help me find this pattern. The one I'm looking for isnt the one where you sew each square together, but you sew several muslin squares (after folding and sewing) together to make a block of about 9 or 10 inches (I think). Then you put the colored little squares on. ...

Beautiful! I think that for me, the fabric that is most likely to be brought home on impulse is something that is just calling me to be made into a stack'n'whack. You found a good one. I can see why you had to buy it. Julia in MN On 12/27/2010 9:09 AM, Susan Torrens wrote: I managed to get...

that has to be one of the best results I've ever seen -well done! Roberta in D, not usually a S&W fan On Mon, 27 Dec 2010 10:09:02 -0500, Susan Torrens wrote: I managed to get this one done yesterday.... http://tinyurl.com/2w98an3

What is your favorite needle size for basic piecing? I use sharps -- but have never paid much attention to size. Decided maybe I need to learn a little about needles. I understand the numbers (thanks to this: http://www.threadsmagazine.com/item/3751/machine-needle-know-how) -- and I seem...

Mum's gone... My mentor in Life My friend Sensible, generous, gently eccentric: she of the acerbic with and the cheeky giggle. No more. Sudden, but peaceful.

I just got home a little bit ago. DD1 got clipped by an SUV about a block from her house. It mostly caught her with the side mirror, which broke off. She picked it up, walked home, and called me while she was on that trembling edge between shock and tears. She was verging on incoherent, so I...

to all of you. this has been a rather harsh year for us. Your support and just knowing you are here has helped us tremendously. Thank you Butterfly (DD is still in hospital...they're working to get her back to AZ--can't believe how much RED TAPE the Ins is giving her!)

It is with great sadness that I let you know that Firefly lost her 10 yr battle with breast cancer last evening. She went quickly and peacefully with family around her at home. She is no longer in pain. Thank you for ALL of your support , prayer, love and Hugs for her over the years. It has...

I'm like Louise. I am overbooked and in over my head. One of the things I'd like to have on the party foods table is some real, honest-to-goodness potato chips (including fat, trans-fat and cholesterol) and a dip. I don't care if they double-dip and exchange germs or not. It's the...

Okay, I'll admit it - I slightly overbooked myself for Christmas this year, but I finally finished the last "has to be done" quilt today. This is one my niece and I made together (her first) for her little girl's first big-girl bed. Our first challenge was come up with a design. She didn't...

Bad year for us, but staying positive. PN's not as bad as intractable pain, but it's no fun either. All they can tell me is I'm not diabetic (which we knew) and every test comes back negative. Fudge is working us all (DW, Trainer, trainer's assts., self) through Advanced Obedience (Gad, he's a...

Just been goofing around and realized I haven't checked in here in like, well, forever! How's things? Everyone ready for Christmas? Anyone need picked up off the floor because I stuck my head out of hiding? Who's got Facebook that I haven't friended yet? :D Love ya! Tigg
