I have a brother who is a fanatic about his motorcycle, so I am going to make him a motorcycle-themed quilt. I have five 1-yard pieces of motorcycle-related fabric, plus six yards for the backing. Does anyone have suggestions for a pattern? The five 1-yard pieces are all different. Trixie

http://community.webshots.com/photo/143983013/390287556QGdGqK Border is kind of subtle. This quilt is SOLD!!! so I will be doing as careful a job as I possibly can with the machine quilting. Wow! They say, Do what you love and the money will follow. I'm a little stunned. It's a nice chunk of...

One more round of who wants some fabric! I have two broomstick skirts cut out and the tiers are each assembled. Each tier is a different width and consists of several widths of the fabric. So, lots of fabric!!!! I have two of these....both in Christmas fabrics. Who wants them? I'll mail...

My dear cat Jasper did'nt come home last night for supper. I was a little worried although it is lovely weather and he does stay out at night and does his hunting.DH was out inspecting our field which was cut with a tractor and trailing machinery yesterday and found him.He had been killed by...

Hi Everyone, I've just finished posting before and after pictures of my sewing room on my picturetrails page. www.picturetrails.com/quiltygurl Just two before pictures......it was way too embarrassing to post much of the disaster that I let happen down there. I was inspired by the posts from Kim,...

A couple of years ago there was an RCTQ post with the name, address, and website of a company that sold Schmetz sewing machine needles in quantity. I bought 100 for under $30, IIRC. I don't remember the company's name -- can anyone help me out? TIA, Nann (I suppose I could look this up in the...

Just a gentle reminder to mark posts that arent about quilts (and chocolate) as off topic. Diana, who once made a Rose of Sharon Quilt. ;-)

Finished is great! Dancing in Texas today. Linda http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/frame242/album?.dir=/1bf9&urlhint=actn,ren%3as,1%3af,0

Hi, I found a number of recepies for rose hip soup, as you mentioned that you ate it cold, I think it might be this one (can be eaten hot or cold, other, different recepies mention that they should be eaten very hot): 300 gr. rose hips 1 liter water pinch of salt 50 gr. sugar

The other day I had time to sit and fondle my stash and I realized something. I have tons of beautiful material, I am particularly attracted to novelty type prints of butterflies, dragonflies, bears, moose, squirrels, birdhouses, etc. but I CAN'T BRING MYSELF TO CUT THEM. All I can do is fondle...

Thanks for putting up with my housecleaning posts today. I've found homes for all the extra stuff. I hope those getting it are as pleased as I am getting rid of it. Our own freecycle to some extent.

My condolences to our friends in London area. I just turned on the TV and heard the news about the explosions. I am ever so shocked and horrified. Bonnie, in Middletown, VA

Dear Karen, I'm just running through before going back to my Mom's. Feeling really lousy and still have the worst tests to go this week. Please say a prayer if you get a chance. Please tell the group I hope they're all okay - especially those in London. I'm thinking of them. Thanks for the...

I've finished! Not finished the "why did I ever start this" quilt, but finished cutting out all the butterflies and sticking them to freezer paper and ironing the seams over. Now I can start machine appliquéing them to the backing squares. That will take a little while. Then I can assemble the...

I've just spoken with Bronnie from Queensland, who lost her wonderful mother a few days ago and she has asked me to post to the group her heartfelt thanks for all your wonderful messages of support and love. I know personally how much these messages can help so I am sure of the strength Bronnie...

Well, now that he is doing better it looks like I am back to being an afterthought when it comes to info. I got this from the local paper out there. Here is the news: http://www.canoncitydailyrecord.com/Top-Story.asp?ID=706 Seems there is now some feeling in his legs, yay! That is not what the...

Yet another baby quilt cranked out! This one is for Ian. It was fun! Mommy love froggies so I snatched up both the blue and the pink when I found it. Had to wait till we knew if it was a boy or girl. I cut it out and pieced it AND quilted it last weekend. Did the binding this week and...

I made a purchase on 28 June, and I have not received my order. I have written the owner two emails, but received no response. I am getting upset. If you would like to tell me your experience privately, my email is my screen name at comcast dot net. cyndi
