Had a wonderful time yesterday in Sioux City! The main reason for the trip was a 311 concert at the new Tyson Center. But along the way, I found the Heart & Hands Dry Goods Co. What a great store! The help was helpful; they had several items (including Timtex) that I'd been looking for; they...

Hello all....I posted this a few days ago but I haven't seen it on here yet. I went to the 25th Annual Schoolhouse Quilters Quilt Show in Cumberland MD on June 19th. The quilts were fabulous and I and my DH had a great time. If you would like to see pictures, here's the link to my...

Denise Lashley, could you please email me privately with your snail mail address? I need it for my Hug Quilt. Sherry Starr

On the theory that the header put you all off first time around, I am trying this one again because -you may not believe this -I didn't get one single solitary anorexic little reply to my request for info. So here goes.... Does anyone have experience off or know of anyone who can advise me of a...

I will be going to Ottawa in ten days, and would love to hear about any must-stop LQS's in the city. Also going to Cobourg for a wedding while in Ontario, so anything in between is fair game too. All you Ottawa area quilters, please help me support my fabric habit! :-) Renee

My husband agreed that it was time we did something with the house. We have survivied those teenage years. We thought about downsizing but decided we weren't ready for that just yet. We agreed upon a budget for redecorating much of the house over the next two years. I decided that I needed some...

The earlier discussion about the curved paper piecing in the current issue of Quiltmaker led to my picking up a copy at TSWLTH this morning. But I was doubly pleased with my purchase when I saw that Mickie has another quilt in there -- page 64, Everlasting Rose. As always, she did a terrific job!...

I've made three quilts now as gifts and two for charity. I can't stop thinking about quilting. My brain spins up new designs and I keep looking for stuff to make for my friends' children. I even dreamed about quilting. DH and someone went deep sea fishing for tuna and I was on the boat. I saw...

Hi Guys, DH and I just returned from Vienna. We took loads of photos while there. I was lucky enough to be able to take a dy trip to Budapest, Hungary so I have also put up photos from that trip. There should be a link to my Webshots album in the tag lines at the end of this post. To get this...

Spotted this on the RISKS Digest - covers some topics dear to some posters' hearts... --- begin quote --- http://www.billingsgazette.com/index.php?id=1&display=rednews/ 2004/06/19/build/wyoming/55-arrest.inc Summary: A vacationing Wyoming teacher's aide was rousted from her cruise ship bed,...

Our guild presented this year's challenge quilts last night. "Everything Old is New Again". We had some clever and lovely quilts made from vintage clothing as memory quilts honoring deceased family members, beautiful handkerchiefs, dresser scarves, Japanese rags bag kimonos, old draperies, and...

Is it possible to sew curved seams when paper piecing? Thanks, Bev in Texas

I know many of you attended Paducah this past April & I hope I can pick your brains a little. I am going in 2005 with a small group of friends (already have secured hotel reservations:)). It was suggested that we fly into either Nashville or St. Louis, because the airfare is less money, and rent...

Mission for today: Make a database of all fabric stores within a couple of hours' drive. Most of the local patchwork mags format advertisers by postal code. Everything in this half of Bavaria begins with 8. So I've gone through a couple of different ones, looked up all the towns on the big road...

This is sooo cool! I have a new computer and now I get to do my very own TEST!!!! Yoooooohoo!!! Are you out there quilters??? Leslie- happy, happy!!!

I have a website but the templates that the company has are really lousy, so my son developed a new site to upload but he is stuck because he doesn't know any PHP and we can't get the shopping cart to work properly. Does anybody know of a site where he can learn a little bit more about...

I finally decided to sew together DH's quilt, and what do I discover??? I cut the triangles and the squares different sizes!!!!! So now I'm going to make him a green and black checkerboard instead of a green and white windmill pattern!!!! How I managed to cut the triangles smaller, I have NO idea!...

About my new machine that is???? OMG! It's so much nicer than my old Kenmore!!!!! It works for starters, and consistently at that!!!! I don't think I could have made the two wedding dresses I had to make in May with the Kenmore and still be here to talk about it. :P I am SO glad I bought...

Has anyone played around with the Bezel Blocks ideas in QNM July/August 2004? It looks possible and even fun. I am just wondering if there's something they haven't mentioned that you figured out such as the blocks must be cut only if there's a new moon. There are several interesting variations...

Hi, here's the original list, and I've added at the bottom. (still haven't figured out how to mail to this list with new charter.net addy! I'm working on it). SueB 1. A space for the show. School gym, hotel exhibit room, etc. 2. Advertising. 3. Insurance. 4. Racks to hang quilts on. 5. ...
