Yes! I actually caught her online briefly!!! This is her quote when I asked if she wanted me to update the group: "you can tell them that he has zeroed in on a solid treatment plan, and we are looking for small improvements" She's a little edgy and nervous, but that seems to be something...

Has anyone seen or used bamboo batting? If so, please give me the scoop! I was just reading my new issue of Quilter's World and saw the little blurb on it. It looks interesting, and I'm going to have to get my hands on some. Dannielle

The yellow plastic ones with the notch underneath to seat your needle in. Shops here don't sell them any more and Google tells me they're either a variety of oregano or something to use with an iPhone. Are they still made? ==== j a c k at c a m p i n . m e . u k === http://www.campin.me.uk...

What with all the bad economic news these days, My wife and I were talking about what the quilting folks were doing vis-a-vis the recession/depression that seems to be upon us. I said that I honestly didn't know. I suspect that if you or a partner has been laid off or somehow otherwise find...

Hi, can anyone tell me about the Chandler quilt show? I really want to submit a quilt for that show, but really have no idea what group sponsors it or how to contact the show for Rules for Submission. Any help I can get would be appreciated. Sunny

Howdy! Sign-ups are going on right now for the Baseball Swap. "The usenet group Rec.crafts.textiles.quilting (r.c.t.q) has an annual fabric charm square (100% cotton 6.5" squares) swap based on Major League Baseball games. Much gloating and fun results. This list has been created to facilitate...

Hey Everyone One of our local volunteer fire departments was able to build sleeping quarters onto the fire station. Being volunteers they don't have the money bed lines, blankets or quilts. I was thinking of making them quilts. Do you know where I can find fire fighting fabric or something in...

Can I use size 20 quilting cotton thread in both the bobbin and the needle? If so, what kind of adjustments might I have to make to tension, stitch length, etc? TIA, TerriLee in WA (state)

My electronic SM has batteries (2 sz. AA) to support the computer memory. Your SM may have batteries also. I recently had occasion to change the batteries, per the message on the LCD display.

Me, too. Thanks to y'all for the recommendation!! -- Donna in NE La. "teleflora" wrote in message ... I read it too after the recommendation from here. Great book!

My eye therapist has been so good to me for the past couple of years -- even driving to my home the night of my eye surgery to make sure I had some glasses I'd be able to see with -- that I decided to make her a small quilt (my favorite kind G). She's been given many different dragons over...

I knew this day was coming. My 1953 Singer has a serious malfunction. Not fatal, but I cannot use it. I am having withdrawals. I drug the little white plastic Singer out of the closet, and try as I might, I cannot bond with her. I don't like her. Here's what happened: The thingy that holds the...

This is mainly for the garment seamstresses out there. This is the time of year that many of the high schools will be having their proms. My 18 yo DD being one of them. There is a local company who recently became affiliated with the United Way and had a bunch of girls donate fancy dresses,...

Yesterday was my Mother's birthday. I talked with her for a quite a while on the phone and she was sounding pretty good. A bit ago my sister called, sobbing. Mother passed away this morning. Evidently her heart just gave out. The staff at the home started CPR as soon as they found her, and...
