I have a recipe that Juliette (who hasn't posted in a while, but may be lurking - Hi!) sent me, and another one from the Colonial Williamsburg cookbook. I'm ok with the recipes for the patties/balls of cabbage and potatoes, but what about the gravy? Is a Bisto gravy good enough? (Bisto is a brown...

I've been fiddling with the idea of a stack n whack for a while....and want to try at least one block. I have my fabric picked out, but don't have a clue where to start. All the info that I can find on the web boils down to "buy my book" and I don't have the extra $$ right now to buy...

I bought some really cute quilt labels at Wal-Mart the other day. They are iron on and have a space for a name. My questions is, how do you get your name on the label? If it's by marker, what type of marker? Is it embroidery? Please help! Sindir

I wish we could block messages that are crossposted to more than one newsgroup. Sigh. -- Teresa in Colorado The Presser Foot Sewing Machine Sales, Service, Supplies, and More www.thepresserfoot.com --

Does anyone have advice for getting out black pastel chalk pencil marks? I bought the pencil at my LQS and marked a few quilting lines on white and yellow fabrics. Washed the quilt in Orvus soap with a Woolite Dye Magnet sheet. The pencil marks didn't fade a bit. What remedies have worked for...

So Excited. DH and I are coming to America in January!!To Florida,Kissemee(Spelling?) I know its a holiday place but am wondering if there are anyLQS in that area or even better any RCTQer's!! Can hardly control my excitment!! Estelle UK.

Good Morning, I frequently read your postings and am often delighted and amused with the things you say - reaffirming the fact that I love being around women who quilt. Unfortunately, none of my friends are quilters, sewers, painters - not a creative bone in their bodies, and I'm longing...

Okay I don't know how I did it but I lost 2 kilos this week which is 4.4 pounds - wow not too bad! That's a total in 10 months of.....42.5 pounds (19.3 kilos). I had to go shopping for shorts the other day because I didn't have any. I bought 2 pairs - one was a size 16!!!! Yaaaay! -- Sharon...

1. I save everything. I have class notes from middle school, high school, and college. I have the rough drafts for every speech I've given, and for every term paper, research paper, and book report *ever*. 2. The last time I cleaned out my purse, I found receipts that were 3 years old (the ones...

Has anyone ever hand quilted a quilt using fusible batting? I read a bunch of past posts saying it's not recommended, it's stiff, and the (machine) needle gets sticky (when MQing)...but I wanted to know if any of you REBELS out there tried to HQ with it yet. My mom's Singer hates me and my...

Found a site that has fabric for U of Michigan, Penn State, and U of Wisconsin. Sorry, no Notre Dame. They might be able to help you out though http://www.trendyscrubs.com/Category.cfm?Category=82 Debbi in SO CA

My wife has come to patchwork & quilting late in life and her eyes are not as young as they used to be. She has heard of a glass that hangs by a cord from the neck, rests on the chest and allows work in the lap to be viewed. Can anyone point us to a source of supply? We are in the UK and our son...

I think I may have just found what I want Santa to bring me! Of course, the brand of it has disappeared from my brain - but I think it was a Domestic. Anyway, it comes in a cabinet in fairly good shape, with a full box of accessories and feet, plus the original manual and a warrenty...

This is a game for those of you with EQ or are handy with graphics programs. Its an idea that cas (lurker from oz) and I came up with when discussing fun things our little group of instant messanger chatters could do in the coming year. One of the things that keeps us from doing more swaps and...

I am putting together a quilt of my own design and I have been asked to write a book on how I went about doing the quilt.. I have no idea of how to go about doing something like this.. I can *tell* how to do it but I am not one that would or could sit and write out a book.. Is there people that...
