I think all the quilt photos I have of _most_ all I've done are now scanned and uploaded to my page: You'll see one of DH with a quilting tool stuck on his face. How many of you have done this? QUILTING PHOTOS: http://f2.pg.photos.yahoo.com/early_quilter Uploaded Aug.20, '03 Medium Gnome

Wow!! This day may turn out to not be quite so bad after all. Here I have been packing all morning and getting ready for yet another trip to Iowa for court. Yep, it's the third trip in 3 months and two in the last 6 weeks. So I'm not much of a happy camper at the moment. But, I went out to the...

Mim came to town Friday (she's in town for somebody's wedding) and came straight to my fave LQS from the airport - talk about a dedicated quilter! Marcia, who lives 2 blocks from me, came, too. Sandy and Linda couldn't make it. Mim brought some trinkets for my girls (Miss Fussy Rose, Spike and...

If you could design your own line of quilting fabrics, what would you do? What colours, images, themes would you include? Would you want to design a range of fabrics for a particular project you have in mind? Or would you create a line that captured your individual style? Or do you have an idea for...

To those asking what is the formula .......please use the one Bev posted. 4 waters to 1 sugar. In several of my humming bird books they definitely state in bold letters using anything stronger ( sugar wise) can damage their little livers....... 4 to 1 is what is listed in everyone of my...

Way behind in posts cuz of taking a few days off, but wanted to thank you for such a nice reply. You explained things without getting nasty and this is how it should be done! Very classy. -- LN in NH a crazy quilter * hand quilter * & hand appliquér

Just testing. thanks!

Hello all! I am in need of a simple chicken block. I'd prefer pieced, and relatively rustic. Google has turned up a lot of applique patterns which is more time than I have to invest... I'm contemplating HST with bead eyes but thought I'd check with this invaluable resource before I cut anything!...

Does anyone know the color temp and the color rendering index (CRI) of the famous "Ott Light"? If you want to see that information go to. http://solux.net/Ott_lite.htm Phil Bradfield Tailored Lighting Inc.

I don't have actual proven statistics but can speak from personal experience if it helps. As far as how many you can do in a particular length of time, that depends on how much time you devote to it. I can do a queen size all over design in a couple of hours. From that, you can kind of figure...

There is a story in the Toronto Globe and Mail that made me howl. True, supposedly. Valdemar and Aldemar went to the doctor. Valdemar went to have an earache checked, Aldemar to get a vasectomy. When the nurse called Aldemar, Valdemar went in. Had the vasectomy. When asked why he didn't say...

I am, one by one, finishing up UFOs. The butterfly quilt would be done but it still calls for a bit of tying. (Tying doesn't look right but neither does tieing.) I am thinking about using ordinary cotton embroidery floss. Also thought about quarrelsome but lovely rayon floss, perle, crochet...

Hi all! I managed to get up to the computer twice today yippee! I somehow have managed to throw out my back while helping the daughter move things into the dorm room. It was funny, something told me to put the microwave down NOW right outside the building's door, and when I did, I couldn't...

Thanks for the heads up Alice. I was thinking the same thing and turned off the advertisement and went to bed. Debbi in SO CA "AliceW" wrote in message ... Did anyone else get the talking email from Joann's? It referred...

I live in Rochester and we have 3 nice quilt shops here, but that's about 80 miles or more from Mpls, depending on where you are in Mpls. I am not familiar with shops in Mpls, but there is a nice one called The Quilted Shingle (http://www.thequiltedshingle.com/) in Oakdale, which is an eastern...

A new feature, some of the newer sewing machine centers are run by Viking, not a local merchant. I know for sure that is the case in Rockford IL and since the JoAnn Stores in Chicago IL, Round Lake Beach IL, Topeka KS, Des Moines IA, Sioux City IA and Clive IA are also designated Viking Sewing...

Gosh, it's good to be back!! (Technical problems with both my brain and the computer's.) PLEASE warn every post-menopausal woman you know who is on anti-depressants to be very careful when coming off hormone replacement therapy. Major, major mood swings along with the hot flashes, night sweats...

Instead of getting involved up to my neck with the latest round of bull****, I took a different route. both ruffian125 and the puppy wizard have been reported to their service providers (who *did* verify that they were active and legitimate email addresses). Their postings have been sent to the...
