I have found a customized journal to keep all my quilting projects organized at a reasonable price. It is kind of cool to be able to keep a journal of my quilting projects, in an album, for others to see. Check it out at www.katesquiltingmemories.com Happy Quilting

I finally finished one of the queen size scrap quilts I pieced well over 3 years ago. Woohoo! Now I can start something new. Linda

DH has done something to the photo printer into which we stick our little digital camera card so that we can download the photos and it won't work. So y'all will have to wait until after the July block is done to see them. na, na, na-na, na!! BTW that block looks a lot harder in the picture than...

Friends of mine are expecting a baby about the time (or just after) I next will be on the same continent as them. Now, until now I've made the baby quilts _after_ the baby was born, but I think this time I'd rather do it early and give it to the parents in person (or maybe if the timing fits to...

I went yard sale-ing on the weekend and came away with this machine. It's in incredible shape to look at, and it actually works! It's a Bradford De Luxe Precision, which I've discovered is a clone of the Singer 15 of the 50's. Anyone know if Singer will service it, or should I try to find a...

Thanks so much for the BOM link....Here are some of the blocks I have been working on: http://gallery.ppwp.com/gallery/album20 this will be a quilt for my son, who is having fun helping me pick out just the right batiks! --

This morning the postal carrier rang my doorbell. (I have to admit she got me out of bed--I was at a quilt retreat with some good friends over the weekend, and of course there was lots of sewing, good food, and laughter, but not a lot of sleep.) The carrier had a package for me with a GST charge...

Is anyone going to be at the NQA show in Columbus next week? I'll be there at least Thur. and Fri. have an all day class on Friday. Gen

Finished my two blocks. The Lady of the Lake centre caused a few problems, but got there in the end! Keep saying I'm going to machine applique but always seem to end up hand sewing them Also I intended to 'quilt as you go' them, but I seem to be going faster than I am quilting them! -- Sally at...

My sister went to the Stiches and Craft show in Sydney a while back and bought a stained glass quilt kit and a couple of patterns. She has since discovered that she doesn't have the time to figure out how to make it up and asked if I would like to have the kit and patterns. Next time she's up...

Hello all! It's been raining here in Alberta, Canada for almost a week now. I am finally starting to catch up with my housekeeping. I know, I know..... housekeeping??? It all started when I decided that since it was raining I would spend the afternoon in my sewing room... except I couldn't get to...

Hi all. Been very busy here as the countdown is on to DS #2 wedding.....19 sleeps as they tell me :)) Finally got back to my quilt I'm making for their wedding. Started machine quilting today. I'm using Hobbs 80/20 batting and wondering how far apart the stitching needs to be. The top consists...

I got a new Viking Designer 1 and a new cabinet because my husband spent big bucks restoring an old truck that will get out once or twice a year so I said I should get equal bucks for my hobby. I got flowers, proteas from Hawaii, because he was a jerk one too many times to me as his bookkeeper and...

Well, it isn't terribly flat due to my dubious ability at measuring and cutting, but here it is! Despite being pretty wonky, I think it turned out okay. Bright colors serve to distract from the questionable...

I sent this to my husband. HIs responses are inserted within the text. Larisa Surprisingly some of these ring true.... Why ARE Men Happier? * Men Are Just Happier People - What do you expect from such simple creatures? * Your last name stays put.

You don't have to read this, but sometimes it helps a bad mood to vent a bit. I'm in the middle of free motion quilting a nasty heavy bear of a project. Don't like the top much, but felt inspired to finish by all your acomplishments! (OK, it was mainly the way Snigs and Black Rose are...

I know there are some real tragedies going on right now, but if you folks could spare a prayer for my BIL, the Army major, who is on his way to Kuwait, for his safety. As I understand it, he's being stationed at a base that has never been successfully attacked, but we still worry. Also, continued...
