My daughter picked up a ruffling machine for me on Freecycle. I will probably not get to see it until sometime in July though. Not sure if it is really a ruffling machine, or just a machine with a ruffler attachment. Either way, the price was right. Linda PATCHogue, NY Linda PATCHogue, NY

next Tuesday, I have to go to an evil sleep study, where I spend the day attempting to nap every 2hrs, but being woken up after 20mins on the off chance I do go to sleep. Doesn't sound fun, it also means there will be huge chunks of time when I have nothing to do, so I was thinking of preparing...

I went to a garage sale today and bought a Singer Futura II. Not sure how old it is but the book was copywrited 1973. Paid $15.00 for it and it is supposed to work. It has it's own cabinet. Did I do good? I also went to the Dr. Fri and I am now on meds for my breathing. I just started them...

Managed to get a whole roll of wadding posted to me from the UK and it was really reasonable and took less than a week to get here! DH thought that if I was ordering it, best to get a whole roll rather than bits - his words!!! So I'd better do some sewing now. We went away on the weekend and...

Okay. I'm enabling. So many times I've been searching for a particular color and obviously don't use the same name that the designer or quilt shop data entry person calls it. Quite by accident I found a new way to play the game. Tonight I went over to www.quiltshops.com and under 'item...

I'm piecing a back and found a poly blend or two in my stash (hope there are no others!) that goes well with the other big squares. Everything else in this twin-size scrap quilt is 100% cotton, and I'll use cotton batting as well. I'll MQ. The recipient won't care about having poly in there, but...

I think the little round huts have gone! I was over earlier in the week, and there was no sign of them. So, Unless they appear before tomorrow, we won't have one to meet 'in'. So, just keep an eye out for a group, my large red, grey and white umbrella with RCTQ labels on. We will be near the...
