I sent fan-mail to a World of Warcraft vidcast called Women of Warcraft a couple of weeks ago. I was a bit disappointed when I didn't hear back from the host, but figured that she must get too many emails to answer. Imagine my surprise when I looked at her web site for the latest episode to...

Over the weekend, news.optonline.net and/or outlook express went wonky. I can no longer reply or post to newsgroups. A 45 minute online tech from cablevision could not solve the problem. Interestingly, the test post I sent today DOES appear in google groups, but does not appear in OE. The replies...

Hi Everyone, Here I am once again asking if anyone has any UPCs(barcodes) from packages of Hobbs batting. Someone asked about the UPCs that you get when you purchase their batting by the yard, it doesn't state on the charity order form that you can't use them, so I would welcome them as well. ...

I received my newsletter from Connecting Threads today and they are advertizing a Schmetz sewing machine needle for use with flannelette and fleece (size 90/14). It is shown on the notions sales page (30% off) along with the regular needle pack (also on sale at 17% off) if anyone is...

When I was last in the US, I conned my host (and dear friend!) into letting me watch Simply Quilts, and this was what was on: http://images.scrippsweb.com/HGTV/2005/12/02/qlt1139_pg37_38_39.pdf Anyway, we ended up running out (2 little kids in tow) and buying fabric for two of these for me to...

Hi, all, I got on the computer this AM like usual to read the messages since last night and every new message says "Message expired" The old ones are there and I can read them but anything posted 2/21 or 2/22 can't be accessed. Is it my ISP or me? I'm trying to post this through Google so hope it...

I did it! I have started quilting the sandwich. Thanks for all of your help. I went ahead and SITD first because I had moved all the safety pins off the seams for that technique. I only have the vertical part done and will finish the horizontal tomorrow. Then hopefully will go to the grid. ...

Our Walmart put signs on all their fabric yesterday for 25% off except clearance stuff. So some of you mght want to check it out. I hate that this is happening but it doesn't look like they are going to chance their minds this time. Critter Comforts: Quilts for Homeless...

I signed up for Webshots and inadvertently put some blocks in my quilts folder. I can't figure out how to change them. Can anyone help? -- Boca Jan Florida - Land of the Hurricanes http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/poo_de_doo/myphotos

I am making a crib quilt for DD's first child. The pattern has a ruffle around the outside of the quilt instead of a binding. The directions say to sew the ruffle to the quilt top before quilting and then "birth" the quilt. I don't like the idea of birthing before quilting because I'm afraid...

I just finished my largest project ever..I'd say it's a double-bed size. You can see it on Page 3 of my Webshots site. My son had asked me to make a quilt to donate for an auction to benefit children with cancer. His MBA class at Penn State has a fund-raising auction every April. Well, I...

A neighbouring village is having an Autumn Festival in September - Flowers in the church, Choral Concerts, and a Craft Exhibition in the Church Hall. A friend is organising it, and has asked if I can contribute something to the exhibition. I don't want to put any of my current quilts in - not...

For years, I've made baby quilts for my sons and their wives to give as baby gifts. Sometimes I get a thank you note; usually I don't. But I enjoy making quilts that size and it's never really bothered me. Today my daughter in law in Lincoln (I was there to kidsit today) gave me a photo album. ...

I was out walking with my 4-year-old daughter. She picked up something off the ground and started to put it in her mouth. I took the item away from her and I asked her not to do that. "Why?" my daughter asked. "Because it's been on the ground, you don't know where it's been, it's dirty and...

This is what I have been doing during my two weeks of being snowed in. I paper pieced this lovely border for my batik panel I bought last summer. I was quite taken with the pattern when I bought it, but the picture on the package didn't do it justice. Oh my! I haven't even basted it yet, I...

Ok making another denim quilt. Only this one I want to do an eight pointed star in the middle. I'm good with the pattern. Except what size do I make the squares that I am going to cut in half to make the points? The squares all around are 6.5", ending up 6" when sewn. Would I add .5" for the...
