You have to check out this site! Especially the "Hens on Heels" quilt. Anyone that loves chickens will love this one. I just chanced across this and love this little site! http://www.needlesongs.com/FuseAS.htm Shelly

I don't remember if I told you guys or not...I lost my job 4 weeks ago. The good news is NO MORE 4 HOURS A DAY of commuting. The bad news is no income. I've had a few one-day temp jobs but have only earned a bit less than $200 in the past 4 weeks (about $150 after taxes are taken out). COBRA...

There was a question about Alka Setzer during pregnancy. Sorry if your not the person that wrote. I was told no. Because it is high in salt. I was told I could use Rolaids or Tums if a glass of milk didn't help. But agree with the pervious poster who said to ask your Dr or midwife. Take...

I was cuising eBay and found this treadle at $50 that ends soon. They will not ship it. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3258164907&category=605 HTH someone! Leslie The HairyFacedOnes 'N Me- My dogs aren't my whole life...they make my

http://photos.yahoo.com/nystitcher1972 Last 2 pictures in the Christmas Stuff folder. The pictures are a little blurred (hey, the digital camera only cost $20 at Walmart!!) but there it is. I made some changes as I went along...actually, I didn't have enough gold cording to put it around...

Does anyone know of someone who makes quilts or blankets from squares of old clothes, like special baby clothes? Thanks~ Kelly

Last week was hectic but fun! I belong to two quilt organizations, a book club, and a county volunteer group. ALL had their December meetings last week and all were 'holiday celebrations' (read snack time!) Early in the week I causht up with three swap blocks and one BOM. I made two applique...

Finally after several weeks of not being able to view or send messages on the news server, I can finally get back to my friends. Update on my gifts - Dad's Quilt - I had to make some changes, but it turned out great. I'm using Twill 'Migration' fabric for the back, I couldn't aford the...

...... I believe the silver balls are called "dragees" ........ DD spells it DRAGETS but pronounces it the same way. Sounds and looks like it is probably French. That would make sense since she learned the term at "Cookin' School" (AKA Scottsdale Culinary...

Hi gang, I've not been posting much in the last few months, but faithfully reading as many posts as possible and enjoying all the pictures and 'newsy' posts. I've also been able to take part in a few HUGS and appreciate not having been forgotten and asked to take part. Welcome to all the...

DH's grandmother's quilt, which i've been working on for two years is FINISHED! I worked on the binding until 4 am, and got pix of it, and now it is on its way to Nevada. I got to the post office just before they closed...like two minutes, and i'm not exaggerating...LOL. How's that for meeting a...

I spent the weekend (Friday afternoon until noon on Sunday) at a quilting retreat. As always, it was a great weekend. I pieced the top for a king sized trip around the world, using all blue, yellow, and white flowered fabric. I still have to do the borders because I wasn't sure before making it...

Yesterday was Seth's funeral. But while we were at the church, I felt warm hugs and Angel wings. I had to leave the church part of the funeral to feed Alena, she was crying and I didn't want to interrupt. I went to find somewhere to sit and was told there was a couch at the back. I headed there and...

I got a toy, all for myself!!! DH remembered my birthday this morning (he forgot last year until I reminded him), and after I had struggeld out of bed and gotten my coffee, he ran out to the car to get my birthday present. He said, "As we get older, sometimes it's nice to have things we...

I just got news a little bit ago that my father passed away this morning. He's been in the hospital since Thursday night with pneumonia. He had severe emphysema, among many other health problems. He was discharged Monday morning and went back to the ER Monday night around 8:20pm. He passed away...

I did a square pegs quilt for a charity auction benefiting a women's shelter in our area. It fetched $350!! That was fun and well worth it! Now, back to those Christmas gifts... http://mywebpages.comcast.net/laurabartl/squarepegs.htm -- Laura...

At the below url, in the unfiled photos folder, there is a Christmas stocking I finished yesterday for DDIL, Sarah, Mommy to the best DGS a GM could ask for. :-) The fringe is handmade, using a gazillion seed beads. There is a CQ ornament there too which was made several years ago, totally by...

On what we believe to be a 1940's quilt, the pattern is a variation of the double wedding ring. In a double wedding ring, each ring overlaps with 4 others (right?), but in this one each ring overlaps with 6 others. In then center of each ring is a star, but that might not be in the pattern...
