Well, the top is together. I found out I had a few extra blocks, so I made two pillow shams. Which I will guilt until my frame is delivered and put together. -- Bonnie NJ

I decided just to do a very simple diagonal MQ on my YBR. Sometimes I think (okay, I know) I get too caught up in how fancy or intricate to be. And I decided if the front is simple, go with a simple quilting. This twin size will be put on a couch in our sunroom, so whoever wants to go take a nap...

I finished the neighbor's quilt. It took a little while to put on the binding, because the last few days i've just not been feeling well, but I finished it last night, and I"m mostly happy with the way it came out. There are some mistakes in it, but there's even more love, so I won't worry about...

I saw a little tablerunner I really liked, forget where, but it was while I was cruising the Net the other night looking for Bible blocks and flowers...anyway, it was so charming and I had a bunch of the squares already cut in my scrap pile - so I thought, why not? I sat down and started making...

Ok, so I just got back from Newport, RI to 1137 postings - I was only gone 5 days! Geesh! I will catch up sometime today after I unpack my luggage and set up my new PC, not necessarily in that order. But, first, I did tally up the September Siggy Swap members and we have 18 so far. I would like...

I love it, Sandy! And this reminds me, since we've been talking about Houston 2004, let's give Kevin a mission (should he choose to accept it): Find an inexpensive place where ALL of us can stay. We could take over that Ramada! And Kevin can reserve 20-30 rooms or so, find out if they need...

Ok, we are home now from the hospital, so I'll post about her arrival. Its long (as usual) so be prepared. Thursday at around 1ish, I started having some pretty serious contractions. I kept an eye on the time, and when they hit 2 minutes(4pm), and painful, I ordered the boys to pack the car. I...

Well, we went to court on Monday and it was a disaster. We are still reeling from the total injustice of it all. BM lied and whined and got snotty on the witness stand. She and her attorney put SD16 on the stand to testify against her father and were gonna do the same to SD13 but our attorney...

Are you there or have you floated down the river? - even though it seems to me you were on pretty high ground. I just saw on the Weather Channel that Indianapolis has had over 7 inches of rain today and it's still raining, and Terre Haute 5 inches. Hope everything is ok with all of you in Indiana...

Howdy! I've asked y'all before if you decorate w/ your quilts, if your home says "A Quilter lives here!" (Well, does it? g) I'm always on the lookout for more quilty stuff, not too junky, not too cutesy, things that look quilt-related. Came across this line of products by Jim Shore recently and...

I got a copy of a quilt book that was published in 1959. I was amused by some of the things written and thought you all might get a kick out of some of it. "Quilt making is a simple art and lends itself to many pleasant interludes - while listening to the radio, chatting with friends, or as a bit...

Nice collection of quilts! Good job! Debra in Idaho

I saw a quilt the other day at our LQS that was made with this fabric. The middle section of the quilt was a whole panel of this fabric. It had borders around it. At the top, there was a "border print" border (companion fabric). Betty "QUILTKITTY" wrote in...

WOW! ANd I get to test drive the pattern as well....um, I might take a few months to do it, it is MUCH more intricate than what I am used to doing, but hey...I wanted to expand my quilting horizons! Larisa, suitably impressed Musicmaker wrote: I, being one of the lucky ones who got to test...
