The horse fabric was so popular I thought I would offer a few other things. This time it is floral fabric cut into 2.5" squares. They are the leftovers from my one and only try at a watercolor style wallhanging. Found out that style isn't my thing. Anyone else want to try. Plenty for at least a lap...

Just come home from our craft club, where we had a demonstration of Baltimore Album Applique quilts - absolutely breathtaking! I took my daughter Jane, who completely fell in love with them too. Apparently an asset in making these, particularly if you`re doing a "snowflake" block is Freezer paper...

My son gave me a webcam for my birthday! Now I can show you guys things that I'm working on, or designs I'm considering. FUN!! Karen, Queen of Squishies -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars. - Oscar Wilde...

I have a 1/4 foot with a little metal edge guide, as I'm sure most of you do. Has anyone ever heard of a similar foot with an 1/8 inch guide on it? I have projects other than quilting that I could use it for. Linda, in Lancaster PA

Today after morning piano lessons, I will be taking Bob back to the hospital. This is pacemaker day. We'd appreciate all your rememberances throughout the day, dears. To be quite honest, he almost died up there in January, and we are both scared about this. But we are both good at hiding it, so...

THANK you so much for remembering us. My daughter is bringing Bob home as we speak. I'm spending this time teaching DGD how to use my sewing machine. Bob will recover a couple weeks, and maybe then he will go back to work. He said he feels much better already with the pacemaker keeping things...

I have about six yards of a brown horse print fabric. It is printed in squares for pillows but could be used as a whole piece because the fabric around each pillow panel is plain brown to look like sashing. Each pillow panel has a cowboy riding a bucking horse. It is a Springs Industries fabric...

I have April's Pieced Block picked out for you all (already have the applique one)! It is a great block and still a 1 pin rating. May will be the last 1 pin block. THen will will kick it up a knotch and go on to the 2 pin blocks for the next four months. The final four months will be 3 pins....

when you find the time in your busy quilting days, could you squeeze out a prayer that thigns go well with buying/selling houses?? DH and I found our dream home..yes, it does exist! ANd it is available now. Our buyers agent is bringing a couple by to see our house tomorrow around noon. If...

Do I have to have at least 26 fabrics? (One for each letter of the alphabet...) The hexagons I'm coming up with in baby quilt size is most suitable for 23 (minus 1 for the label). Thanks, Anita

I have a bunch of quilt binding that I'm unlikely to ever use that I'd like to trade for something else. The details a 9 7/8 yds. - rusty-orange and olive floral print on ivory background (not bias) 10 yds. - pink floral print with white crochet edging (bias) 12 5/8 yds. - pink and ivory floral...

This is my first year in Chicago, and I noticed the Quilt Show will be her in a few weeks. Does anyone know if it's a good one? And, are you going? T

I JUST BOUGHT A BRAND NEW SEWING MACHINE!!! I'll tone it down but I have been sewing on a borrowed sewing machine for nearly 4 years and I'm thrilled to have my very own sewing machine! not only is it mine, alllll mine! it's brand new too! and it was totally unexpected too! my DH knew the borrowed...

The past two days I have been going through all my old quilting magazines and cutting out and filing the things I wish to keep. I spotted a "tip" in an old American Patchwork & Quilting magazine. If your room is too small and even backing up as far as possible doesn't allow you to really get a...

OK, I'm procrastinating. The quilt sandwich is all smoothed out on the table, just can't seem to start pinning. Normally it's no big deal, but this is a rather large quilt, sort of between a double and a queen. And it has a Deadline :-p I know better than to agree to deadlines, what was I...

Some of you may know that among the various swaps I host, I also host a year long birthday block swap club. The members of this club are extremely talented, and are constantly surprising me with the blocks they come up with for the birthday people! My birthday was this past January, and I...

A cardiologist died and was given an elaborate funeral. A huge heart covered in flowers stood behind the casket during the service. Following the eulogy, the heart opened, and the casket rolled inside. The heart then closed, sealing the doctor in the beautiful heart forever. At that point, one of...

Last Saturday DS discovered that he could climb out of his cot, if it was against the bed he sleeps in/on at night. We decided at the start that it would be easiest if he had one of those portable, sort-of, travel cots as I go to comps at least once every other month. I move his cot to the...

Our Terri have been delivered and will live. During this week of the Passion and her travail that has bordered on that suffered by Jesus Christ himself our great President and Gov. of Florida Jeb Bush will take her into his custody and have her fed. She will walk, she will take and sing again. ...
