Got surprising news that Grandpa was sent home from the hospital today. We had all thought he was going into rehab again first becuase he didn't feel he could handle the few steps to get in the house but apparently not. =) Thanks again folks, Tricia

I am coordinating our guild's BOM sampler this year. We started back in September and I have the blocks planned for the remainder of the year. Using EQ5 -- I have decided generally how I plan to finish my quilt -- and I think it will turn out pretty well. But some of the blocks are "darker" than...

Howdy! Hope it's good, hope it's fun, hope there's quilty stuff & cake for everyone! Celebrate for at least a week. ;-D http://www.virtualchocolate.com/step2.cfm?cgy=mw&num=zn1001 http://www.virtualchocolate.com/step2.cfm?cgy=mw&num=v1114 Ragmop/Sandy--pass that cake over here; I'll eat your...

Our Persian tomcat Splodge occasionally gets fleas, which set off severe attacks of fur matting. Trying to break the mats up with a comb causes him a lot of pain and pulls far too much fur out. I just got a couple of new seam rippers. Looked at Splodge. Lightbulb goes off in my head. Try to cut...

I got fabric with little duckies and easter eggs on it, some with jelly beans on it, some white with pastel polka dots and then 6 yards of this really soft cuddly yellow fabric. Along with a new blade for my rotary cutter. And a few other quilty things. --...

I'm so sorry I haven't thanked the two of you yet, but I've been having serious computer problems and have bee away from my own computer and the Directory so this ends up being how I must thank you. Bright, cheerful colors and, oddly enough, the two pieces of fabric coordinate well! Did you two...

A friend of mine is working on the Latte Quilt. Does anyone have a pic of one to share with her? She would like to see someone else's finished. Thanks Connie

Everyone I know it is late at night. But, wake up and listen please. It seems like I get on here when I can't sleep and everyone else is fast asleep. I got my new April 2006 American Patchwork & Quilting Magazine the other day and there is a pillow in it on page 48 I would like to make for...

Just checking I can see myself from my laptop connection - only had it a year so its about time I got connected to RCTQ from it! Suzie B -- "From the internet connection under the (undamaged end of the) pier!" Southend, UK -- Please remove NOSPAM when emailing...

I know this request has probably been done to death before. But I am looking for a source for silk kimono scraps. I want to do a large quilt to hang on a wall. I know that years ago you could buy bales of kimono silk, but stupidly passed on that opportunity. I am also doing fashion doll...

Boy, it's been months since I have had a chance to look in on all of you. We've been up to our eyeballs with house building and I haven't touched my sewing machine since I did Carol Doak's class last fall and put the center of the quilt together. But the log house is almost done--just lots of...

I was just nosing around on Ebay and see that a new thing (to me anyway) are quilt tops pieced in the orient making their way here as tops to finish. Quite a few from China to be seen . These seem to be classic old timey styles that are hand pieced. I don't know particulars about these things...

I know this is totally off topic to the quilt group...... with the exception of all the great quilty stuff I have gotten from Freecycle... but This is just such a riot I had to share it! My local Freecycle group is having a February Challenge! If you post a "red" item, you get entered into a...

Well, if I wasn't, then when I just spilled that half-litre of water on my desk/keyboard/mouse a sec ago, there wouldn't have been a bath towel lying RIGHT THERE beside my chair, LOL. -- L. P. Skeen, Summerfield NC Organized people are just too dang lazy to look for things. ;)

well it's sewing related so sort of OT: I need to rip out the seam of a pair of trousers to replace the elastic and the seam is serged - 2 rows of stitching with a zigzag between. It has taken me *forever* to get the first 2 inches ripped.. is there a fast way of doing this? -- Jessamy In The...

finding fabrics by color... not by designer... or collection... or manufacturer. I need 24 - 30 FQ's in shades of white - gray - black (with one or two gray/tans) for one of my new projects. So where is a good shop where I can search by color. (I can do 1/2 yards if I need to -- or maybe even...
