"traditional" Thanksgiving dinner by
Susan Laity Price
Several years ago we were hosts to a visiting Chinese student during
Thanksgiving. She was familiar with the first Thanksgiving in the
colonies. As we were passing food around the Thanksgiving table I
explained the symbolism of each dish until I got to the Green Bean
Casserole. How does one explain...

"Turning Twenty" amount of FQ? by
Puffins
I saw a wonderful bundle of FQ in the store today but they did not have
this pattern. I'd like to do something for my queen size bed. If
anyone has this pattern handy could you kindly tell me the number of FQ
required and the size it makes? I need some idea of what I can do.
Please email me at...

'antique' - and plain old - quilts (very long but hopefully interesting) by
DrQuilter
I missed the guilty secrets thread but I must confess to mine: rescue
not too expensive old quilts in need of love ($65 is the most I've paid
for any of these) and bring them back to splendor (as much as possible).
So a few days ago I posted pics of my collection of old, well loved
quilts in need...

Well, the move is just about to happen. My computer will be shut down,
sometime tomorrow. As I don't know when, I thought I should just let
you know that I will be out of touch. I might even be back Wednesday? -
even if only for a test; but more likely it will be Friday. I have to
wait on...

'Hypothetical' (blush) question by
Lynn Tocker
Happy Sunday all,
Just suppose (gulp!) someone bought a fat quarter instead of a 1/4 metre of
fabric, would she be OK cutting down the length instead of across the width?
She knows (halelluiah!) that there is a difference in the amount of 'give'
in a lengthwise cut, but in a state of blissful...

'In search of' list by
melinda
To update the list a little, it appears that i have enough
bits to make DH's quilt unless I decide (or it) needs a
certain colour, etc the quilt has already told me how it
wants to constructed but not fabric placement but then it's
supposed to be a scrap quilt I guess I'll just have to make
sure...

'Old' quilt repair help by
Charlotte Hippen
My son's quilt from his grandma is going to need some repairs soon and I
need the expertise of the group. It is not an 'old' quilt per-say. Just
one that he was given a few years back that has been loved and thus washed
frequently. As a result of the washings and use, the binding is wearing...

'Support Ribbons' Fabric by
Pat in Virginia
We've all seen the pink ribbon fabric for breast cancer support, and even
some teal ribbon fabric for ovarian cancer support. The American Cancer
Society (and maybe other support organizations) supports other cancer
patients too. Each seems to have a certain color for support ribbons. (I
