Good morning. There is chocolate involved so maybe the OT is inappropriate! I am looking for a foolproof, rich, moist chewy, fudgy, chocolatey brownie recipe made from scratch that does not involve boxed mixes that are not available here in Spain unless you are willing to pay about $7 for each. I...

I really started something with the pie discussion and have been laughing ever since. For one thing my DH bought the pies and not ME. Another thing I CAN make pie crusts but I have a hard time of rolling out because I am haveing problems with my shoulders and they can't take the pressure. Now back...

I've been watching the thread about pie crust. My Mum was impressed with my pie crust and asked for the recipe. I use the recipe in my "Betty Crocker" cook book that was new in 1966, I saved up coupons, and got the loose leaf book. Used to get it free with enough coupons, had to only pay postage....

Judie, i just sent you an invite. my initial request took a bit over a day to arrive in my email box. so give it time. i used the addy in the directory...gmail one. hope that still works for ya. when email does arrive, just click on the link there and it will open 'wave' in a new browser tab all...

Friend bought 3 expensive coats and the kids can't get their arms through the holes. I will have to cut off the cuff plus the same into the arm. But what do you suggest to use to fix. I was thinking just use knit, as in cuff stuff and it will be twice as long as a regular cuff. Just wondering...

When you go to the store to get punkin pies be sure to read the box and not just look at the picture, you could be getting Sweetpotato pie. My DH brought home 2 of them so had to go back to the store to get punkin, I usually make them from scratch but not this yr. Shoulders won't take the rolling...

This was also on Fox News this morning. grammykathy51: http://news.yahoo.com/video/us-15749625/christmas-miracle-mom-and-baby-die-then-revive-17357728

I put up a couple pictures of my current big project on my facebook page. It's the 1st two pictures... http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=17850&id=654552313&l=ced3255e52 It's a ghost layer quilt with coral and fish and a blue/tan color wash. My niece picked the colors and the mood "serenity"...

There's a beautiful array of stripes here. Does anybody have a clue what I was going to do with them? Insufficient memory and all that, you know. Polly

While digging through my sewing room this afternoon, I found some partially made and some completed nine patches and I can't remember how I made them! It was a really quick method, but not quick if I can't remember how to do it. I've looked around on the 'net, but haven't found any patterns for...

Black-eyed peas etc are the order of the day for New Year's and when I turned to my cookbooks I realized that I'd never recommended to you: the American Heart Association's cookbook. It is very possible that there's not one recipe in it that you will ever follow exactly. OTOH, there are lots...

Matteress pads the stretchy stuff that sits on the side of your bed and tucks underneath usually with an elastic. Well mine if falling a part literally. What would you use to replace it with. Cuz they stuff they used in the beginning you will never find and I want something that will hold up to...

Fastening the top button on my sweetheart's dress shirts has always been a pain in the neck. After studying alternatives, the baby soft velcro caught my attention. Always 'testing 1, 2, 3', I took a shabby white shirt, clipped off the button and stitched on the hook and loop stuff being very...

I was so in hopes that Mr. Esther would be delighted with the Brother embroidery machine Santa brought him. Nope. He's ignored it. The children gave him a wii for Christmas. Every lady in the neighborhood that doesn't quilt is in the den with him bowling. Well, that's what they...

Santa didn't bring any LQS gift certificates or quilt calendars but he brought lots of Chocolate and a new computer. My eight year old computer was groaning from information overload. Between the digital photos and EQ files that have filled the poor old gal she was taking forever to boot. This new...

I recycle the card fronts, assuming nobody wrote on that side, by cutting into gift tags. Punch a neat hole in one end for a bit of gold thread to tie on the package. One card makes 4-6 tags, depending on size. And they don't have to be the same size! Roberta in D On Mon, 28 Dec 2009 07:22:33...

For those FM quilters who bought an extra bobbin holder to adjust the tension for FM quilting, did you make the tension tighter or looser than for regular stitching? Thanks! Michelle in Nevada

So far my photos are stored by date according to when they were downloaded from the camera. I need to sort them by topic so there is some hope of locating them later. Any suggestions? Someone on this group has a chart type box on each of their quilt photos which lists information like pattern,...

I am getting ready to join a swap where we will be making 144 6.5" blocks. Question is - how do you handle working with 4.5 yards of fabric while doing this? I can handle a yard or two at a time but 4.5? Cindy from MO
