I finished the top to my YBR (twin sized) in all shades of moss green- the magazines would call it a monochromatic quilt- how fancy! My question is how people have MQed these quilts. I am kind of thinking I would like to keep the lines straight, but not just strict SITD along the outside of the...

Hi all! I still really want to host this round robin because I think it will be a lot of fun...but I was thinking of starting it in the new year rather than now. We are going in to the busiest time of the year for me (and I am sure many others), and I just don't think I could commit to a round...

let's just talk about fantastic bargains we've gotten the last few months, June & July 2003. Woohoo! My LQ(and craft)S has a clearance wall, and after our "Quilt Party" meeting (2 hours of presenting new products, a quick demo, show and tell, door prizes, and an exchange block with some...

Which picture is it? Did you post it yet? We cant tell you great it is if we cant see it :) I am a long way from paper piecing--seems like it more trouble than it worth for me. I just want to sew and not mess with paper :) -- Kathy in CA Quilting...

Fons & Porter has a Halloween jack o'lantern pattern called Happy Jack. It was in their magazine in Sep 1999. I know I have this magazine, but I can't find it. Does anybody know if the pattern is available either seperately or in a book? I can get the back issue of the magazine, but I was wondering...

Hi everyone, Please put a positive thought for the city of Kelowna. One of our 900 forest fires in the province is approaching the city and has already burned some homes. Not sure yet how many but it's coming from the south. Carmen and my aunt are both in this city and I hope they and many...

Well, one of the advantages of living near a military base in Germany is that they provide "entertainment" for the masses Cheap Movie theaters, bowling Alleys, clubs, REc Centers and so on. In this case, we have a "crafts shop" that has a large sewing room (seven or eight tables put together to...

My DH & I have just found out that my very dear MIL has cancer. She's currently in the hospital in Boise, ID (USA), while they drain the fluid from her lung that had the biopsy last week. All prayers and healing thoughts gratefully accepted. BTW, we will be leaving Seattle on Friday afternoon...

In two hours my youngest and I are leaving for CA. We will spend tonight in Reno, then four nights with my mom in Livermore, then on to San Diego. She is supposed to move into her dorm room Fri. morning at SDSU. Saturday my husband will fly to SD to ride back home with me in the Expedition. I...

The last remaining student from my quilt class is nearly finished with her quilt top - just has the border to go. However, she is hoping to have it finished by this coming Monday so that she can show her coworkers. It "needs" to be finished by Labor Day weekend so that she can give it to the...

It's great that you are entering things. I've been to the NYS fair lots of times, as a kid. My grandfather won first prize for his cheese one year - he was ill, so my mother (and all of us) went to accept the award for him. He was very proud of that ribbon! -- Teresa in...

An Australian named Neil Moore developed a piano method called Simply Music, which I'm researching. I may want to change to this method but it represents a sizable investment of both time and $. Have any of you any experience with this piano method, or know anyone who is taking lessons from a...

SInce both Butterfly and DOnna got such a kick out of my hillbilly writing........... I have found that the more stressed things get, the more I need a good laugh, and I think most people are like that. Since Butterfly responded with the start of a silly typo accent, I figured that I would...

Hooooo-weeeeee! Since you don't know how long is "long term" and there's not much money, that's a tough question. This method is almost free. I begged some boxes - very heavy cardboard - that copy machine paper is shipped in. Places that do lots of copying, such as a hospital, are glad for you to...

All i can find is 15" and the quilting group thinks that is too big, they want 9 or 12" blocks ... but i need directions too for assembly of *one* block at the time.... not speed piecing.... finally found quilter's cache and that isn't quite what i need. right pattern, wrong size and it is for...

I started a new project because I haven't finished any of my UFOs yet (you know how it is!). And anyway, I found out my sister is pregnant again after trying for a long time, so I had to make a baby quilt. DD (aged 3) told me in no uncertain terms that it had to be a heart quilt, so I picked out...
