Well school is back on Thursday and DD#1 has been going for 4 years now, but DD#2 is just starting. So I have spent the day sewing in name labels and making sure that all her uniform fits - aww she looks cute, but she can't be old enough for school already, can she? It doesn't seem 5 minutes ago...

Woke up in Florence to cooler temperatures and dew on the car. First stop was Jodi's quilts, the shop is set back off the highway in a building that also houses a mechanic, so keep your eye out if you are looking for it. Oh, I forgot to mention that Serendipity Quilts & Crafts has a website,...

Our guild is making quilt blocks for the outgoing president. She picked - what I'm sure are embroidery patterns - Sunbonnet Sue pictures to be appliqued and then done with blanket stitch with black perle cotton. Some of the pieces are tiny - such as the feet and hands & tiny little leaves on the...

The next morning we drove out to Auburn and found Machado Orchards. A favourite of our friend BBL-Phyllis and had peach pie for breakfast. Then we wandered around the old town and poked in a few antique shops. Found a wonderful line of Halloween ornaments in the flavour of Willie...

Um, mine used O-rings. G I have never seen a pattern. I did see some for sale that a lady had made (in gorgeous batiks), and asked about it and she said she just looked at one and made up a pattern. Well, that was no help to me (or for you!). Good luck with it! I did eventually find 2 that I...

Do we all have to tell our life's story on this group? A little bit about sewing and quilting is enough. DM

Well, I finished my friends HUG today and sent it to another friend to be quilted....she is more than generous to do this, but I can't comfortably quilt anything larger than a crib size quilt with accuracy. NOw I need to finish the last few squares on Baby Rebekah's quilt...if I get it done in...

I wouldn't machine-quilt after amnio (or do anything else that requires a sitting-up or hunched-over position). Hand quilting while reclining would probably be okay. -- Sylvia Steiger RN, homeschooling mom since Nov 1995 http://www.SteigerFamily.com Cheyenne WY, USDA zone 5a, Sunset zone 1a Home...

That explains why the last few shows on the September schedule were listed as TBA. Thanks for posting the notice, Bev. -- Alice in NJ RCTQ - "Royal Cybrarian" www.ourcyberfamily.us "The older the violin, the sweeter the music."

I am wondering exactly what Vic means by the occasional leather project. Are we taking fine grade soft leather and two thicknesses or something tougher? My Bernina is a dear but she wouldn't put up with much in the way of leather. I've tried a couple of times to take up soft leather belts up by the...

Can anyone tell me the size of a Fat Eighth? Also, does the longer edge run along the selvage or perpendicular to it. Thanks! Zo

Wow...I did a quick search and came up with this site. I am amazed. I wish I would have found this site a while back. It looks like it only comes up with one yardage for one colour, ie for HST's I threw in a block size and the quantity and it came up with 1.5 yards. I guess you would buy 3/4...

Help, help! I've lost my MIL's recipe for Pear Honey! It is a soft fruit jam--very plain, no bells and whistles, pear-tasting, honey-brown, medium in color, the best pear preserves I've ever tasted. MIL was a Texas cook, and I've never seen this recipe elsewhere, so I am hoping one of you Texas...

Karen asked me to let you all know that at the moment, and probably for at least a few weeks, she'll continue to do the hug list but has to bow out of posting for a while. She'll miss you, but depression is setting in and she just hasn't got enough juice to spend it in rctq - please be patient...
