I am flying out to Chicago and will be staying in Morris, IL in July. Any recommendations for places to go and things to do. Definitely would like to get in some quilt shops and maybe a good museum or historical association with some quilts. Kathy in NH

My son, Tom, looked much more alert when I arrived at the hospital this morning. It is still hard for him to talk because he has a tube in his nose. He hoped to have it removed today but the doctor said it should stay until tomorrow. The doctor allowed a few ice chips which Tom really appreciated....

Finished and sent off to Teri already :-) I learned something new with this months pieced block! It would have been better to change the walking foot to the plain sewing foot - I could not eyeball the quarter inch having the walking foot on the machine and so the nine patches turned out too small!...

I hosted a swap last year for the HGTV strolling the block BOM quilt. The swap ended earlier this year, and I finally found a free moment, and an inspiration to complete my quilt....The top is finished, and I just need to find the perfect backing....that will hopefully happen next week. Anyways,...

I finally ordered this book ! I have had a print out on it for years and finally going to make this one! Has anyone else made this Jane Townswick applique ? barbie in williamsburg

I know she planned on answering emails and hug requests - unfortunately her computer has gone out the door literally screaming. Tech support believes that in Karen's quest for more music, she visited the wrong "free music" site and acquired a Trojan horse along with the music. So, every time...

Hoping that Marlys' son has been found safe. Bronnie

We found out yesterday that one of my brothers passed away Thursday night. If you have some good thoughts to spare for my mother and the rest of the family, they will be deeply appreciated. -- Carolyn in The Old Pueblo If it ain't broke, you aren't trying. --Red Green If it ain't broke, it...

Have you ever wondered whether or not (or why) you should pre-wash your fabrics? Have you thought about ways to safely display your quilts? Do you know how to safely clean quilts and needlework? Would you like some of the quilts you make to last more than just a couple of years? Do you know the...

Having been out of pocket for a few days, I just found out today that the 18 y/o daughter of a friend of mine from back home has gone missing in Aruba. I would appreciate it if you all would keep this family in your prayers. I graduated from high school with her uncle and her Dad was only a couple...
