Before I call for participants, this Fall One-to-One Fat Quarter Swap is RCTQ's choice as far as theme is concerned. So what do you all want to swap? Last fall it was "fall themed" so don't know if you want to do that again or do something different. Majority wins so fire your ideas...

As some of you may know, today (September 19) is International Talk Like a Pirate Day. The question is, how best to celebrate? DH offered to let me shiver his timbers tonight, but I was thinking of a more public celebration. And naturally, stash raids came to mind. So, in the spirit of the day,...

The best laid plans of mice and men.... sigh Well I didn't make it to the American Sewing Expo over the weekend. Believe me I did my best to get there. I was even within a mile of the expo center and time was not on my side so we had to just drive by and I waved as we passed the convention...

Tonight I made a Lemoyne star without the strip piecing (but in a different size than the first one - well, otherwise it would be too easy, wouldn't it?) just to see if I could figure it out. It worked much better. The centre lies beautifully flat, and the central seam makes a pretty swirl just...

Last night I made the second-to-last block for my stars and plaids quilt, and I am very pleased with it. I have the blocks on the design wall, some sewn together in 4's, and just have a little rearranging to do tonight so I can finish sewing them together. The plan for the borders is not working...

Hi, Awhile back EQ's website had a link for a quilt shop that showed their fabric samples in bitmap format which could be used to add fabric to the EQ fabric library. (Hope that makes sense!) Anyway, I never saved the link to the quilt shop and would love to have it again. If anyone has it,...

Most of you know that my DH and I vacation in Hatteras at least twice per year. We generally stay in Frisco or Buxton, renting a house for the week. The Outer Banks took a direct hit from the hurricane and are now trying to restore power and water utilities. We have a house reserved...

Doing a fishing in the dark happy dance!! You all inspired me to do a quick quilt!!! Jessica had picked out fabric early in the summer so while hubby traveled last week, I got it pieced and he baby sat all day since he hadn't seen her all week and I quilted like a maniac. Not my best piece of...

Is there a printable Joann's coupon currently available? I would love to be able to purchase several of their 10 yard rolls of batting for the animal rescue quilts I make. Thanks for any help with this. Critter Comforts: Quilts for Homeless...

I just got a message saying my Norton Anti-Virus detected a virus on an e-mail to me. It then proceeded to list about 20 addresses that I recognized from this newsgroup. Please check your own virus protection. My DH has installed a firewall and Norton on our server at home, so all I get of that...

Started getting spam as soon as I posted. I messed up in ONE place! But I'm using mail washer now, and that does make it a lot easier. Karen, Queen of Squishies -- My return address is wrong. Please change my address to hicall80 at earthlink dot net.

With many of you changing your email address, or even changing servers, over the recent spam infestation - please remember to email me with your changes for the HUG list. Thanks! Emails that bounce two or three times get eliminated from the list.......... Karen, Queen of Squishies

My wife and I will be in Tokyo from 28 September for a week and we would love to hear from people who live there or have visited to know where to find the local quilting outlets. Searching the web provides a lot of information (I think) in Japanese only and that unfortunately does not help me too...

I've completed the top for my lap quilt top. It's very basic but turned out well. I'll start the quilting Monday night. Happy dancing! There's a picture in my webshots album if you're interested. With four projects started, I'd really like to claim a REAL finish soon. LOL -- Sherri G in...

With DH overseas protecting the world against the Red Threat, I was living with my parents when I produced DS, the first grandchild to be born in the world! My father, a willing acolyte, was fetching some needed item, with his back to me and DS the first time I changed DS's diaper. I took the...
