Roman Coins by

Two coins walk into a Roman bar.... errr, I mean... My guild is hosting a

Spokane Quilt Show by
Idahoqltr
I just returned from the Spokane Quilt Show. It was wonderful! I
really wanted to raffle quilt which was appliqued barn blocks, but I
didn't win it. I bought several things from vendors and enjoyed
looking at the rest. I took about 30 pictures. I will try to post
some this week.

Update on Joe: on and off topic. by
Kate Dicey
We did a flit to the Frozen North on Friday: I am happy to report that
my very dear FIL's 'replacement hinge therapy' has gone well, and he
should be going home tomorrow. He looked and sounded well, and though
the bruising LOOKS alarming, it is fading well, and he can walk without
his crutches a...

prewashing cotton batting by
Julia Altshuler
Martha wrote:
I've just made a try-piece with Warm and Natural cotton batting and
washed it. I get a nice crinkly effect.
But what if I don't want that effect? Can I prewash the batting and
have it stay whole?
Water is good. Agitation is bad. You can pre-shrink your Warm &

Alarmed, my identity taken by
joysjane
I sent this message once, but didn't see it - did anyone else? Am I going
crazy? Because I sent a message to my other ng and I never saw it posted
there either?!?!?
I am (or was) a member of one other newsgroup for I Love Lucy fans. I
hardly ever talk there - even less than here. Anyway, today...

This weeks' bargain by
Nann Hilyard
I took a big box of clothing to Salvation Army on Friday. Yay! Good to get
it out of the house, then out of the car.
On the way home I stopped at a garage sale. There were two milk crates
filled with quilting magazines. "3 for $1" said the sign. I told the women
that I had $10; would they...

October BOM by
Julia in MN
I made the Northumberland Star, following the directions at
http://www.quilterscache.com/M_O/NorthumberlandStarBlock.html. I decided
I really don't like working with bias edges, and I figured there must be
an easier way. I came up with a method where the bias seams are sewn
before cutting, similar...

Swap clearing house? by
frood
Back when Millenium Quilts were all the rage, there was a web site that list
lots of different swaps that were going on. Does such a site still exist?
Not for MQ swaps, but for other ones?
Also, does anyone remember a web page called Stella... something? I can't
quite remember the name of it, but...

I took bad quilty pictures by
Debra
Last night I thought I'd take pictures of the quilt tops and some of
the old embroideries I got at that yard sale, plus some of my 3 QIs,
so I could get them on webshots. No such luck. Evidently there
wasn't enough light for my digital camera and all the pix I got had a
horrible case of blue...

What are scraps ??? by
Heidi from Germany
Loved the posted sites about scraps and how to use them, but now how
do you define scraps ?
B.e. if I cut fabric of from a FQ or maybe half a yard. Mostly I have
left one big piece of fabric and the remnants of a stripe or remnants
of several stripes. Until now I stored them together. What do you...

Hexagon bag Pattern wanted by
Aussie_girl
I saw a quilted handbag that was made of I think 12 hexagons, joined together. Can anybody tell me where I can get a free pattern or might have a pattern they no longer need.
Many thanks, Aussie Girl

OT The Horrors of Blimping by

A couple of words have been *ed for those unused to vulgarities.
Just letting you know they are there in case you are offended by
vulgarities.
Last week while traveling I stopped at a Zany Brainy store and
saw that they had a blimp for sale. It's called Airship Earth, and
it's a great big...

OT buying a radio by
Polly Esther
This might not be OT. Many of us think good music is as important to
quilting as good needles and thread. Our last fine old radio went out the
door yesterday with our daughter who has the Katrina damage. She says they
were badly suffering from Merle Haggard Withdrawal Syndrome.
Other than Bose -...
