this newsgroup by
Julia Altshuler
I don't know when I've cried so hard as I did when I read my email last
night. I'm probably just being too sensitive with everything that's
going on in my life right now. You don't know me so I'll explain
something: I am not sarcastic and rude. I am not a mushroom who
belongs in a dark place...

OT - I'm in! by
Queen of Squishies
Apparently the combined efforts of this group have prevailed again! I don't
know who fixed it, their server or mine, we called them both. I have no
idea when it was fixed, they don't tell you. But when I tried it this
morning, it zipped off just fine! So the Hug list is back in business.
Happy...

OT Congrats - to all fans by
Cheryl in Oz
A friend over there just messaged to tell me the good news - well it was
good news for him! I don't even know who the "white sox" are. LOL
But if you're a fan - my heartiest congratulations. My friend explained at
great length that this a REALLY big deal to you!
He kept emphasising something...

triangles, dratted things by
Anne in CA
shhh -- secret method --- sew the bias seams together *before* cutting,
tee hee hee
I learned this in a beginner quilting class but have read it many places
since. Cut two squares, each 7/8 inches bigger than the *finished* size
you want to end up with; draw a diagonal line corner to corner on...

triangles, dratted things by
Kate Dicey

I am piecing my first quilt that uses triangles to make squares, and
already I am thinking how much better mannered squares are!
How do I get the triangles not to stretch, move in seam allowance, or
otherwise fuss at me when I try to sew them into squares? Would a

Another Quilt Comes Home by
Sharon Harper
Earlier this year it was my Nanna's quilt that came home with me. It was
the first Round Robin I'd participated in and I was so thrilled with it.
I'd put a wide border on it with PP cornerstones and it looked just swish.
I knew Nan would love it so I gave it to her when I saw her last year. ...

Happy Dance: new pic to see by
Kraterfields
I finished my first, but definitely not my last, ghost layers quilt. I love
this design technique and the foolproof transparancy effects. Click my URL
below to come see. It's the first quilt.

Quilting book by
C & S
Someone posted information on a quilting book they recently purchased with a
garden theme, which also included recipes. I can't seem to find the thread
that provides me with the author and title. I'd like to check it out. It
sounded interesting. Thanks

October BOM by
Quilterin
Finally! I just made it over the finish line with those two blocks
before October ended and the directions for the November blocks arrive
in our mailbox.
I was gone nearly every weekend in October so I had hardly any time to
sew. The pieced block turned out to be complicated (why oh why did...

OT from a tattletale by
Polly Esther
This is so precious and I just have to share it with you. A sister quilter
of ours (who just happens to live on the Mississippi coast) bragged to me
today that she has a herd of "Texas cowboys" cleaning up and removing
Hurricane Katrina debris for her.
Naturally, I will be discreet and not tell...

Home from a retreat by
Julia in MN
I spent the last 2 days at a quilting retreat at an area Bible camp. I
had a fun, productive two days. Yesterday, I worked on a queen size
quilt top that I had started at last spring's retreat. It is a variation
of the Fifty-Four Forty or Fight...

Quilt Labels by
KittyG
Labels sort of defeated me also, Jan, and I'm not sure why, but I came up
with an easy fix.
I usually birth my quilts, and I stitch or monogram the date, names, etc-
whatever would go on the label, on the border along the edge where I have an
opening after the turning, or birthing, before I close...

Batting Strips by
dogmom
No, not baseball related G; I just discovered that skinny leftover strips
of batting make excellent stuffing for small ladybug feet. ( I suppose if
she weren't small, she wouldn't be a lady!) (guess that means I'd qualify as
an old broad bug! but that's another topic, and off!)
I knew this is...
