I don't think I've ever written a review of a guild meeting for this group before. But we had such an interesting speaker that I had to share. Her name is Sandy Turner and she is from Santa Maria, CA. I had really, really, really wanted to skip the meeting because I have been too busy and wanted...

How do I tell where I fit in the frequent poster line up? I just want to know if I'm pulling my load (hee hee hee). Zo.

yes this is on topic, so dont get u'r knickers in a twist yet... talk bout small minds being easily amused. no, not the wee kidlets that wander thru our lives now and again. this time it was my wee mind. i got up this morning, wandered blearly eyed into the kitchen. omg, what a mess, no one but...

The weirdest awful thing has happened to one of my crocheting friends. Denise (my friend) has a sister Dawn, who was (is) in Germany with her US military husband. They had been speaking via phone a couple times a month, and then suddenly Denise quit hearing from her sister. Naturally, after 6...

I'm getting to spend money on me and quilting finally! I got some money from my parents as a birthday gift, and DH says to spend alittle more since I so rarely go shopping for things for me especially hobby items. So far I haven't gotten much. I ordered a few patterns from Keepsake Quilting that...

I looked at all your quilt pictures and really enjoyed doing it. It made me just want to dash up to my sewing room and finish a project. Yvette "DebsPrintOnIt" wrote in message ... I just posted two pictures of my...

Well, I've researched it, and it's all very strange. The post office says it's illegal to mail tickets if they indicate three elements: prize, consideration, and chance. If any of those elements is missing, it's okay. In addition, they say that even though it's illegal, they won't indulge...

Last year I raised my hand and said I would "help out" with the newsletter for our guild. I hadn't been listening closely enough. What I agreed to was to take over the newsletter half way through the year. Then, being the glutton for punishment that I am, I suggested that if the newsletter...

g'day melinda how much of a hurry are you in to wash the quilt ? if you can wait a few days by your mailbox i could send one of the older style reusable flannel dye magnets if you want it. cas "melinda" wrote in message news:1061180816.438467@webserver... I went...

You know the technique (start with a pentagon shape of fabric on top of muslin-in the middle, then add a strip right sides together, flip, press, trim -keep on going til the square of muslin is full. Well, I have many of these blocks made by using up scraps. Now I don't know what to do...

I am looking for wide prequilted fabric. It can be backed with nylon or a second fabric. The only thing I can find is 45inches. Anyone know of a source for 60 inch or wider? Thanks, Loreen

This year, Ohio celebrates it's BiCentennial Anniversary. There was this guy who went around the state and painted the BiCentennial logo on the side of a barn in each county - giving us 88 BiCentennial barns. Some friends of ours traveled the state and took a picture of Every Barn. Well, DH...

Hi there! My parents are very into Boy Scouts. Troop leaders at the various levels have training sessions of something called Wood Badge, and my parents are at the level where they volunteer to teach for Wood Badge. And one of the chosen symbols for Wood Badge is the McLaren tartan. Mom is...

This is what I would do: a) cut the fabric in half lengthwise and then stitch the 2 pieces together with a seam down the middle -- A Joy in Hawaii (who is itchin' to do some stitchin' ;0)) http://community.webshots.com/user/joyquilts "CNYstitcher" wrote in...

Well, while looking for a laptop for the DSD to use for college, I came across a great deal on Dell - for me! The deal includes a free 17" flat panel monitor, $100 rebate and a free upgrade to a 120gb hard drive. But the deal ends today so I have to make up my mind soon. Oh,...

Hi Diane. Welcome to our group. Sounds like you are a pro at making quilts. I hope you will share your advice with us often. Sounds like you and I share the same sewing delimma. No room of our own. I now put my sm on a small tv table beside my computer table, in my livingroom. I'm tired by the...

So my mail box started filling up with all these "failed delivery" messages recently. Mostly about medications on line, etc. I finally contacted my ISP to see what is going on. Apparently, some spammer is "borrowing" my email address to use as their return address - I guess so that their mail...

I can be silent no more on this subject of self-promotion. I, for one, love looking at the things Kate has made (and someone with such cute cats has to be a terrific person). When Kate speaks of sewing bridesmaids dresses, all I can think of is . . . does she get to keep the scraps for crazy...

Good day! ;) I had to go to Canterbury today, to buy a present, so naturally I went to the fabric shops as well! Nice little bundle of FQ's in kids prints, half a metre of something blue and beautiful, and a walking foot for the two Singer machines - they can easily share, as I can't use two...
