I know you all have seen the top with several different inner border ideas, but... it is finished!!! (except for the label, which is waiting on the actual birthdate!) You can see the bee and honey pot stitching in some of the photos in my finished quilts folder. Overall, I was quite pleased. I...

How is this pronounced please? I just realized I have been running around calling boo-tee.

DH and I went to an estate sale today. I bought a double wedding ring quilt with 8 pointed stars in the centers of the rings, about 50X60 inches, machine-pieced but hand-quilted. I paid $15.00. It has some stains; what is the recommended way to clean it (Ragmop, I know you have a...

I was just browsing E-bay yesterday, not really looking to buy anything. I happened to be checking out this 99K when DH says "You are going to bid on it, aren't you?" Seems that when I walked away from the machine for awhile he also checked it out! Needless to say, we bid, we won! I am so...

Someone kindly sent me a link for a site to buy Aurofil thread, and now I can't find it anywhere. Could someone post it again? It wasn't just carelessness, I think I've had a 'puter crash between then and now. -- Carolyn in The Old Pueblo If it ain't broke, you aren't trying. --Red Green If...

I have been to the Paducah show in Kentucky three times. Each time with a bus loaded with female quilters and a grand hostess Robyn. I credit her with the success of the trips. I'd love to still be going but have not found another tour company that makes the trip. Do to the flooding in upper...

When aol dropped the Newsgroup function, I thought i was lost. I was able to read some of the posts on Google but not all and I couldn't see a list of messages. Somehow, today, it all worked. I'm so glad to be back with "my" group. It's a weird feeling to be so disconnected. If you can see me,...

Trying again:) 1. Finished baby quilt #2 2. Hand-made quilt by Grandmother. 3. Also: Cotton flannel log cabin lap quilt for DH, almost ready to piece the top. Musing over border options. I wonder if batiks will multiply and never die the way these flannels seem to have done...

I recently joined www.quiltsforsoldiers.com, making quilts for wounded soldiers. If you have heard of it, check out the site. Anyone in the SF Bay Area doing QOVs (quilts of valour)?

LINUS Blanket Day is next Saturday. Is anyone planning to go? Most of the Sew 'n' Vac stores are participating so you can get information there if you want to join in. You can bring a new blanket, afghan or quilt or sit and sew for a little while on a group quilt. Most chapters have a target...

She wasn't making progress in the rehab unit of the hospital -- don't know if she couldn't or wouldn't. More wouldn't IMO. Yesterday she was transferred to a skilled nursing facility nearer my SisIL. If she starts doing more for her self, she will be moved to the assisted living area. ...

A very dear friend left her fabric calculator here at my house. My "lovely" young daughter got ahold of it and now it is broken in a few pieces. I think she fell on it. It is black w/no company name on it. I REALLY want to replace it before I tell her it is broken. I tried doing a internet...

Hi everyone, looks as if you've all been very busy. I've nearly finished a quilt - now binding it, and it seems to be taking forever, how big can this qilt really be ? :s) I thought that it was only a single, feels more like a kingsize! Are there any easy ways to bind, apart from giving it to...
