I seem to launch from disaster to disaster, last night my son, who's nearly 5, ran to give me a hug, but missed and strangled me, this sent my neck into spasm fairly speedily and it's evident today that it's hurt the ribs and my right hip too. The neck spasm was so bad we decided to go to the ER,...

Well, he's been moved to a regular room, but now they are looking into his Gall Bludder. He's never had a problem with it but tests are showing some stones. They don't know what to do because he certainly can't have surgery. Thanks for all your prayers. Critter Comforts: Quilts for Homeless...

I just made myself a hakama (a pleated, divided skirt: http://web.mit.edu/jpnet/kimono/man-hakama.html) for my kendo class. I might post a picture of myself in it someday. Well anyway, it is kind of offwhite with black stripes at the hems, the inseams, and the outseams. I made the black...

I got there at 9:30 this morning. It's 7:16 p.m. now and I've been home two hours and a glass of wine. Arms like jelly. Legs exhausted. Missed my nap. Tired as can be. But it's done. Not a masterpiece, but no bloops that I expected. No pockets or bulges. I decided to have fun. Put hearts all over...

Morning ladies (and gents) I have just come back froma weekend in Seville. As usual it was gorgeous. We had a great time. During the 6 hour drive back, I "suddenly" realized that I have my DD3 birthday party this coming Friday, and there will be a gazillion kiddies running around my house. Not a...

I have two of three decisions made, and just can't manage the third decision! So I have come to all of you.... Decision #1 - I have 24 beautiful fat quarters sitting on my floor that play well together and are begging to become something even more beautiful. I might add a cream tone on tone as a...

DH has said that I can upgrade my old Janome machine. I would like to use it for piecing, quilting, dressmaking and general purpose. He said to find one that I like! Bearing in mind, that we are saving up to buy some land, so we can build, I can't blow it all on a machine. My machine that I...

My first "good" machine was a Bernina 1090 which I bought used from a dealer. I loved it to death, it replaced a 1970's Singer which was really awful. I loved the Bernina because nothing ever, ever went wrong. When I found myself with a little extra cash a few years later, I bought a brand new...

Has anyone ever "framed" an art quilt with a fabric frame? I'm wanting to do something like that and wondering if anyone can point out to me a fabric that would imitate an old-fashioned gilt frame or even wood. Thanks. Lobo ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Delete the obvious to reply to me...

http://www.awlforall.com/default.htm I use this thing when I need to use heavier thread than one of the sewing machines will take, or have something where heavily waxed thread is the order of the day and I still need a lockstitch. I am just looking for an easier way to wind new thread on the...

To make a crib sized quilt --- how many yards (approximately) of fabric (or repeats) would you need? I know you need to count repeats -- and that the distance can vary from fabric to fabric. But to do a 6 or 8 pointed star.... can you give me a rough estimate? I have a few things in the stash...

I have a problem that has cropped up on the quilt I am working on. My wife, when she sees it, thinks that the pattern of the hollow blocks flow from top left to bottom right. creating the cascading effect. I am not so sure and think the pattern flows from top right to bottom left. Now in most...

Also how do I get my e-mail address off the end of my message and put another signature without typing it each time? Donna in NE La.

I have been assigned the task of preparing the label for the quilt our guild will be donating to the local domestic abuse shelter. The guilt is a Garden Twist pattern -- and will be raffled at their summer garden tour event. I've never done a lable for something like this. Can you give me some...

I'm posting this very very early Wednesday morning or maybe it's late Tuesday night. I finished my first queen sized quilt. I hope it's my last. And it's for my bed. Anyway, it's not great ..... sort of got a wonky place here or there. I was really careful with borders and measuring through the...

The Janome newsletter had info on these new accessories. Those of you lucky enough to own a 6600 (like me- I LOVE it!) might want to look into them. I'm ordering both tomorrow! The new Free Motion Quilting Foot allows you to adjust the height of the foot in relation to your fabric and has been...
