Why not? How many of you would set aside a long weekend to come to the quaint Amish town of Shipshewana Indiana. With a couple of wonderful quilt shops (Lolly's is my favorite!)... antique shops... and GREAT FOOD (not to mention the picturesque rural Indiana landscape). For our guild... ...

I've noticed that more and more people are using Flickr for their pictures. Is it free (or has a free version) like webshots does? How easy is it to upload pictures and change your photos? What do you like/dislike? Anything else you care to share with someone thinking of setting up an...

I sit here shaking, hoping my almost ex calls back soon. You see, I was sitting here in the 'other' spare bedroom where the computer lives, turned around and there's a RABBIT laying on the floor! One of the dogs brought it in thru the doggie door and left it for me. So, thinking it was nearly...

Ok, can someone clarify VIC vs Victoria, NSW vs New South Wales; QLD vs Queensland. Is it ok to use initials for all of these locations or should they be spelled out? -- AliceW - Royal Cybrarian www.ourcyberfamily.us Hug them while they're here!

Hi there, Can anyone help me find out if there are any LQS near Lubeck, Germany? I tried google, but neither of "quilt" or "patchwork" seemed to get me anywhere soon enough... Thanks! Hanne in London

I have several cut out from cotton knits and light weight fleece. (pattern found at Hancock of Paducah site) Email me if you want them to make for a family member, friend, or treatment center. -- Mary http://community.webshots.com/user/mardor1948?vhost=community

Thanks you for the lovely block - it is much appreciated - it arrived today and is just beautiful. Thanks so much. If you send me your email address, I'll be sure to send you a picture of the finished project. Sharon (N.B.)

I'm glad I spent the time with my parents. It was very difficult to say goodbye yesterday. I arrived home today to find out the owner expects us to vacate the apartment by Mar 1 for the new leasee to move in but we are also expected to stay around til the 15th to orient the new leasee/manager....

GOLDEN RETRIEVER: The sun is shining, the day is young, we've got our whole lives ahead of us, and you're inside worrying about a stupid burned out bulb? BORDER COLLIE: Just one. And then I'll replace any wiring that's not up to code. DACHSHUND: You know I can't reach that stupid lamp!

As I mentioned here last week, I was celebrating a BIG birthday on Valentine's Day. Saturday night my DH and I set out for a celebration dinner at a really nice restaurant. But....he actually took me to our community clubhouse where 40 of our family, best friends and neighbors had gathered...

http://www.paulsadowski.com/birthday.asp I haven't labelled it "off topic" because I think that everyone should check out their birth day info - perhaps there is a common bond between quilters of the world other than fabric, thread and creativity. Who knows! Enjoy learning more about the day...

Alright, Polly and Sandy. You can stop using your intellectual cattle prods on me. I have finally crossed over into the realm of the serious quilter. I just got back from my Bernina Dealer with a lovely little box 8" x 6" x2" in size. You already know it is too small to house a new sewing machine,...

I finally broke down and bought myself one of those folding tables that have a "hole" for your machine to fit into. I had been delaying because I was afraid it would be too flimsy, but this last round of trying to machine quilt with the machine on a flat table, with the quilt pulling away from the...

I want to give a small homemade quilting kit to a relative. She in Denmark, and doesn't understand much English. If I bought a pattern (like one of those single patterns in a bag), translated the writing, and gave her both the pattern and the translation, am I in general breaking copyright...

Does anyone here belong to this club? If so, do you like it? Do you feel it was worth it? I just joined, after seeing all those ads for it in my magazines and the hype on the F&P site ... and I just toured the area and I just don't feel like it was really worth the money. Right now, I'm just...

Just got a call from my sister in Tucson. Mother is back in the ER, this time it looks like she may have to go to a nursing home or assisted living facility of some sort. When I talked with her the other day she seemed a little more out of it than usual, but I thought she might just be tired or...

Could someone tell me what this is for!!! I got a box of different colors as a gift and they are still in their little box. Can this be used for quilt pieceing and quilting or what. Ya, can you tell I am still new at this. GrammyKathy

Does anyone have the link to the Malden Mills online store? I've lost the link I had and have googled under every possible combination of names. It just seems to have disappeared! I did find a link to an online store owned by former employees of Malden Mills, but it's strictly...

Hi everyone I'm doing a presentation at my guild meeting tonight on computers and quilting. I am borrowing a computer projector from work so the they can 'look over my shoulder' as I surf the web to some cool quilting sites. And of course one of my favorite places is rctq so I will be signing...
