We will heading off to NY again, this time during/around the 4th of July holiday. We are staying in Huntington, will be traveling back & forth through Greenlawn & Wheatley Heights....I have pretty much addresses & directions to all quilt shops within that area, and besides those, visited a few of...

Help! Help! It just dawned on me that I have about three days to come up with a fabulous graduation gift for someone who is like a niece to me. She's graduating from college, and I'd like to get her something small but nice to show that I'm proud of her. My mind is a total blank (not unusual!)...

I just finished a quilt for my father for Father's Day, and used Sulky thread for the top quilting. Well, I just ran it through the wash (cold water, delicate cycle, Dreft detergent) and the thread is running all over the place! The longer I leave it wet, the more it bleeds. I don't know what to do...

I'm back from vacation (had a wonderful time in Kansas City, then camping here, then Chicago) and my computer is back from Gateway in 8 days rather that a month. Good job!! Okay, so now - I am rebuilding the Hug list from scratch. Yes, I did have it backed up. I faithfully backed up all my...

One of my dearest friend's son is getting married in June 2007 (so I have lots of time!) He has just become a veterinarian. I would like to make and hand quilt a queen size quilt for their wedding gift. They love yellows and blues and are fairly traditional in nature. I would love to have...

First of all I want to thank everyone who kept my sister and family in their thoughts and prayers when she was diagnosed with breast cancer for the third time last year. I sent her all your emails and posts and she was overwhelmed that people from all over the world were keeping her in their...

Here is a piece written by Andy Rooney - CBS 60 Minutes. As I grow in age, I value women who are over 40 most of all. Here are just a few reasons why: A woman over 40 will not lay next to you in bed and ask, "What are you thinking?" She doesn't care what you think. If a woman over 40 doesn't...

Your email is bouncing. I need for you to contact me so you can remain in the directory. -- LN (Queen of the RCTQ directory)

30 of our guild members enjoyed a bus trip today from our area on the Gold Coast to Brisbane (state capital 80m north). We descended en masse on three LQS where coffee, cake and complimentary lunch was laid on. I picked up some quilting notions and a little fabric; everyone else hoed in and bought...

....to venture back out abroad again (following Pauls stay in hospital in Poland last summer courtesy of mushroom food-poisoning and P&O Ferries)... This coming weekend we are due to go to Belgium to take part in the re-enactment of the Battle of Waterloo (which took place 190 years ago this...

Hi, I just signed up for this group, and not sure if Im posting this in the right way. I just got my HQ16 about a month ago. I never used a long arm until I got mine, I live in an area with no quilt shops, classes, groups, guilds, nothing. Im hoping to find something by joining this group. My...

I've told you all before how anxious I was about my daughter staying at the Univesity of Delaware for the Summer following the random, senseless, brutal murder of a classmate. Now, 6 weeks later, an arrest has finally been made. I know I'll sleep a lot better tonight and so will the parents of...

Hi, I hope butterfly is reading this as I read in another discussion that she has a pfaff 2046. I am in a dilemma as to what to buy! Does anyone have any views on the above machines? I am wanting to sew quilts and do some practical sewing as in repairing jeans etc. I am looking for a good machine...

I felt sure there would never, ever, be a block I didn't like. I guess that's a sign of being new, right? I thought sure, there will be blocks that I might not want to make again, but surely never a block I just flat don't like. I have found it! My first block that I don't like. Didn't like...

It's been awhile since we've had this post, so here it is. I love reading about what everyone is working on. I'm amazed at how much some people achieve, but no matter how prolific, I am always inspired by reading about other projects. -- Wendy http://griffinsflight.com/Quilting/quilt1.htm de-fang...

I decided to treat myself today after finishing a planned project and UFO yesterday. This is the first block. Final size depends on when I run out of the focus fabric. http://community.webshots.com/photo/348519420/367954366daTyIF -- Mary http://community.webshots.com/user/mardor1948

about 5 years ago I started a glorified 9 patch quilt....I got all the '9s' sewed together and that was it....instead of using the 'melons' I have decided to finish the quilt all at once...I am going to cut big circles of backing and batting and 'fold' them over the '9s' and sew them down...
