I just used a 40% off coupon to buy a 24x36 cutting mat. However, my work table is only 20" wide, so I want to cut it down to size. What type of implement do I need to cut this with? Heavy duty scissors? Craft knife? Chain saw? And since it's self-healing, is the cut-off bit going to drag itself...

And this time from the Flossy Queen of Plaids in Worcestershire, England. How very exciting especially because I am mostly English and my families came to this country the United States back in the sixteen hundreds. I have always felt a kinship with England. It was accomplied by a pattern of a...

Hearts and Flowers are done and they machine quilted around my 3d sashing and corner setting blocks. It looks fabulous. Also got my Spring Tulips back and they did a wonderful job on that as well. Feels so good to count these as done. I can't say enough good things about Dana Willis'...

Sorry but I am having trouble posting and needed to to try a new message.

I managed to drag myself to the guild meeting tonight! I sure am glad I did. They were all so friendly and welcoming I hardly had a chance to get nervous about not belonging there. The food was good :) I won some fat quarters in a quilty game (trivia and stuff)!! How cool is that! I am...

This is long, this is all about me having a whine so feel free to ignore. Have tried to tell DH how I feel but it ain't working. This new role he's taken with work has had hime home for about 2 days a month over the last six with about 4 more months to go on this b***h of a schedule. For...

Finished putting the binding on my miniature Dresden plate quilt tonight while at the guild meeting. I started this quilt almost 5 years ago to the day. I cut out the fabric and took it into the hospital with me to stitch onto the paper pieces when I had my heel surgery in 2000. It has slowly...

Anyone sucessfully watching right now? All I get is black on black :-( Karen

I'm just getting a black screen too. They must be having some technical problems.

I have been wondering about this since I joined the group. The internet is a wealth of information and products so I was wondering what others favorite sites were. I will start it. My very favorite fabric site: http://www.craftconn.com/Main.asp?Task=Custom&Step=Home

Just got a new digital camera--tested it on the WIP Halloween Throw. Just need to get off here and get the binding on it!

I mentioned that Ash was going to the hospital for dental work, and have had some inquiries so I figued I would post about it. Since he has such limited language skills and as such would probably not understand what was going on much less be able to respond to verbal instructions, the pediatric...

Lil bro is eating normally, at least soft foods. The doctors are still fretting over that right lung. He is grumpy as a bear in a picked over blueberry patch. The neurologists thought he was going to be paralysed from the chest down, but he has sensation down to his groin. No sign of volitional...

Don't get me wrong. I love Freecycle. It's a fabulous way to get rid of stuff and know that it's going to a good home, rather than buried in a landfill. This is an even better idea than sliced bread. :) But why, oh why, are people such flakes? It gets really old. I list something, a dozen people...

I just posted some pictures on webshots of 5 quilts I have finished since tax season ended. Take a look and let me know what you think. They are located in the Album called Commissioned Quilts and are the photos of Margaret's Graduation Quilt, Julie's Log Cabin, Julie's Palm Tree, Julie's Pink...

I tried a small piece of whole cloth quilting I got through a catalogue, and simply adore the technique! It was pre-marked, and the marks washed out beautifully. However, I was disappointed with the quality of the fabric, and because of that hesitate to order another piece. So I would like doing...
