Sewing a REALLY bulky item by
Patti S
I'm at my wits end! I'm trying to sew a cat collar for one of my
friends. It's a strip of fabric, with lightweight fusible interfacing on
the wrong side. Then, you fold each of the long ends towards the center,
and then fold the entire strip in half, so there are no raw edges, and
then you stitch...

Double Irish Chain question by
Kate T.
If you were making one of these would you put a border on it or not.
I have enough fabric for a couple borders but that's not what interest
me. I'm interested in the look.
Borders yes no.

OT Could use some really good thoughts by
Pati C.
We really could use some positive thoughts, prayers or whatever you can
spare at the moment.
It looks like we are going into foreclosure on our house. DH could
really use some positive whatever about the work he keeps trying to get,
and we could use a kick in the wherever for the probate court...

OT-how to tell the gender of a kitten by
Vikki In WA State
I always have a bunch of barn kittens. My grandkids ages 6 and 5 are
always asking me if they are boys or girls. I usually just turn them over
and tell them which sex it is.
I overheard DGD telling DGS the other day that this kitten was a girl (while
turning it over) because, "Look, the bottom...

way OT - update to Evelyn's pen pals by
Karen, Queen of Squishies
Sorry to do this here, I should have kept track of who emailed me about
this. She has gotten her first letter, and I was wrong, she can't quite
read size 14 font. So just up it to 16 and we'll see how that goes. She
made out most of it, so I think 16 should do it. Thanks! And I'm going to...

Unquilting by
Sunny[_2_]
Ok, I may be the only one who has ever unquilted a vast expanse of a
quilt because of a discovered problem that just couldn't be fixed,
appliqued over, hidden by excessive beading.
But maybe I'm not the only one.
If you've ever unquilted something, I'd love to hear your story. I
promise, I'll...

Question for PC EQ6 users? by
Connie[_2_]
Hi ya'll!
I was just wondering what systems ya'll have ... how powerful a
processor, amount of RAM, etc ... EQ's site doesn't give much info on
that sort of thing - only that you need XP to run it 700Mbs of hard
drive space.
I've got a Mac and VPC to so I *could* run it on my Mac if I REALLY

on the assumption that there are no dumb questions, here goes: What is
and does a Quilt Guild do, exactly?
I know that there is one locally which holds Quilt Shows that are
