I swear, I swear, when I put the binding on the chess quilt it sprouted an extra corner. I *SWEAR* I went around 5 corners. I swear. Lordie I'm glad I'm done with that quilt. *shudder* Evil thing. -- blackrosequilts My train of thought left the station without me.

This last week has been so crazy, first were the thefts. Then not being able to find the camera after I spent a week looking for the cord. Babysitting and children in general. Then actually getting to quilt a little. My DGD and I made our first quilt together. It is small, made for her babies. ...

My "Dancing Lights in Indigo Night" Quilt has won 1st prize in its category at a show in regional NSW.

Okay, so it's not a huge number or anything, but I did want to announce that every one I've sewn is up on Webshots now. I still don't have the photo of Mom's completed Tulip Quilt from Hell yet (although it's coming!), but you can see unfinished pics of it on the site. Here ya...

Hi, just put a couple new pics on my spot at flickr.com and I'm just vain enough to want to show them to you guys. They were done quickly. These are the blocks and quilt for my friend who is in hospice. I'm binding the quilt now (added a couple borders) and I hope to quilt it tonight. I will give...

Polly, just be warned in case this spreads to your neck of the woods! They arrested a guy for throwing a gator a fish! Don't want to be around if they catch you feedin' the gators with, well, other than fish! http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060715/ap_on_sc/don_t_feed_the_gators -- Alice in NJ,...

We'll I never got any communication from Dreamweaver that she was okay and able to take packages, so I just took a chance and mailed her the hug I had assembled to the address in the directory. I insured it and signature confirmed it...so let's cross our fingers! Some of the members of the Seeing...

Marcia Hohn's site, Quilter's Cache, is one of the finest resources for quilters. I have tried several time this morning to go there, and 'it cannot be found.' I can't reach it with my book mark, nor with several variations of search. What's up? Thanks. PAT in Virginia

We have mostly ignored the big old butternut tree at the corner of our kitchen for years. Just snarled at it for drawing squirrels to us. DH has decided that this year we should make a serious go at getting some nuts from it. Now that is definitely a fine notion, butternuts are a good rich...

I am wading into a new territory using fine gauge English netting with entredeux, beading, silk ribbon and laces. I don't want to bore the rest of the group here to pieces. Are there any of you here that do heirloom sewing? (I realize that some heirloom stitching is never going to rise to...

I've just read that tea-dye contains tannic acid (tannin) and will destroy fabric in 30 to 40 years. I had always *assumed* that tea-dye was harmless and had never thought it could be hurtful, especially since it's so quickly recommended by so many. Many times, I've tea-dyed lace for trim on...
