I would like to do some photo transfers, how would you recommend I do them? There seem to be so many different products available, I don't want the photos to have a rubbery surface. Thank you Sarah

Okay, might as well spill it. I had some much-needed surgery Wed. morning to repair some plumbing woes. (My hospital quilt was finished in time and did it's job well- they aren't keeping that hospital any warmer than when I got my new hip 5 years ago!) All is fixed and working properly now and...

Since the weather has not been very pleasant to deal with here for the last couple weeks, I have been inside sorting and bagging and tossing. I have even been mailing. Yes, I am brave enough to venture out in these coldish temperatures to hit the post office on occasion. (venturing out means: long...

I just heard about a new internet show that Ricky Tims will be hosting in 2007. Here's the link. http://www.thequiltshow.com/ Gosh, as if I don't already spend too much time on the computer! I love his personality! KJ

Dh has found someone, FINALLY, to fix the truck. If everything goes ok he should be back on the road either Sat or maybe Monday (No dispatch on the weekend). We are still needing to get the down payment and moving money. Just like Mary K I so want to be in my new home by Christmas. ...

I mended 3 pairs of trousers today. My favourite "mend" was the patchwork ones. The great things about patchwork trousers is you can mend them and nobody can tell. -- Mel Rimmer www.bean-sprouts.blogspot.com

Does anybody have a dead fashionmate for parts so I can fix the tension in mine? it is my backup machine, but I'd like it to be up and running since I am teaching quilting to some friends who do not have machiness... Dr.Quilter

So Stripey is acting all pitiful and demanding much attention, and who can blame her. She can't see the vet just yet because we don't have the money for it. Both school age kids have been home sick all day. DH picked up the wrong size staples for the staple gun so work on my studio has stalled. It...

I just got a package of assorted machine needles in my mailbox. ($71.00 of needles is a small package!) Now that I am covered in the needles department I need thread advice. What is your favorite quilting thread and why? Where do you buy Auriful online for a good price? TIA, Taria

Hi all Well, as a teacher, you can imagine that I look forward to Thanksgiving. A break before the end of the semester rush. What also makes it special is that my guy likes to do the cooking during the holidays so that means that I have lots of time to sew. Four whole days, well...

I have finally finished getting a new patchwork quilt all ready to begin stitching! All the preliminaries are finished -- washing, drying, and ironing the fabric (yucky job but helps the fabric feel good to work with), marked (this pattern has 71 patches in a 12" block), cut, and each block's...

Please email me with you snail address. I seem to have misplaced it somehow. -- TerriLee in WA (state) remove the cats to reply

Karen, I tried to e-mail you about a HUG question but for some reason, your spam blocker thinks my e-mail address (caroledoyleatwindstreamdot net) is spam and won't let it go through. So, I don't quite know how to get around that problem, but you will be getting something in the mail from me...

Hi everyone, I am still unable to download messages on outlook, and we have not had the time to install the new program. For some reason I can only access a handful of my yahoo groups...the others....not at this time. so, I wanted to let the Nov your pick ladies, Naomi, Tricia & Lisa that their...

Is anyone interested in a free portrait?? I'm doing an online portrait gallery project called NetPortrait, and I need digital photos (mostly of people but pets are okay) to draw from! Its at http://digital.mica.edu/im200b/mwilliams/project2/index.html. Its free I would really APPRECIATE Anything!

Gosh..... this sounds so awful but it has made me smile. When my friend Melody and I began to swap fabric charms years ago we described many as butt ugly and she said they made the best scrappy quilts. I told Polly I wanted to make one of those scrappy quilts so ugly only a mother could love....

Yikes its 1:30 am here but I just printed the last term paper for the term. Although I have two final exams left to write, neither one is a concern so I am free :):):) What should I start with??? I have the Asian collection calling my name, my butterfly stars are getting impatient, and there...

I received an early birthday present yesterday. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Isn't it funny how these wonderful little surprises arrive at just the right time. I'd had a very trying day with children and management at work and I really needed a pick-me-up. Your timing (and lovely choice...

Hi all, I am quite sad today as my beautiful 19 year old fur baby (born November 1987) has gone to Rainbow Bridge. The vet told me that she had been hit by a car and had a broken pelvis and that the stress and trauma of an operation would not be good for her heart - so after talking to the vet...
