Need a FQ fix? by AliceW
If anyone is planning on going to the Haddonfield craft fair today, leave early, wear good walking shoes and go to the Little Shop to get 25 FQ for $25! The FQ are normally $2.25 and you can also get 1/2 yard cuts which would count as 2 FQ. NAYY I went yesterday and did some damage there. ...

Iron kvetching was Re Happy ending for Joann coupon. by Elena
Did I use that word right? kvetching? like looking over someone's shoulder in a card game and giving unwanted and revealing advice? Well I "could" complain that my iron has no cover over the steam hole. So if I get really fast, the water sloshes back out of it, and it's REALLY HOT water too! I...

I'm so upset! I made a hug quilt for someone in a site I'm active in. The post office lost it. No, it wasn't insured. No tracking. I know. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Anyway, it's no good to anyone else but the intended recipient but just in case it does turn up somewhere, I posted photos of the...

OT- ? about Transitions eyeglass lenses by Pati Cook
I don't get the darken in the sun lenses because the lenses always have some color in them. Plays havoc with matching/determining colors. Do think about that. Also here in the desert they are a lot slower to change back to light because of the heat. Pati, in Phx The HairyFacedOnes 'N Me wrote:

The Grace Cometh by Nurse Ratched
You must know my husband--except in our house, we've reversed the process. We already have the table saw, the lathe (with some kind of Super Deluxe Chuck), the drill press, and the bandsaw. We no longer bother referring to it as the garage--it's the shop. Makes it a lot easier to raise the issue...

Machine Applique Advice by Monique Reed
You may find that the homespuns just don't have a high-enough thread count to not fray when manipulating edges. You are better off trying a fusible applique (no turn under) with some sort of stitch over the edge. Monique KD wrote: I need some help with the plaids and stripes quilt that I...

Quilt Tree by Nurse Ratched
Based on your limited explanation, I expect you've been dragged into participating in the fabric version of a chain letter. Many well-meaning people pass these on to others they know. Bottom line: unless you're at the very top, the math doesn't work. Ever. 4x4=...

Book review needed - Patchwork Quilts Made Easy by Martha in IN
Mardi, I have this book and would say that it is very appropriate for an intermediate quilter. While not a "learn to quilt" book, it has some fairly easy blocks, i. e., 9 patch, log cabin, and such. It also has appliqué and blocks appropriate for using templates, (fan quilts). I haven't used it,...
