I know it will be hard for you city folks to imagine but here in the remote swamp, everybody talks to everybody. We talk to the grocery store checker and whoever's next in line. We invite a person in a hurry to come on ahead while we visit. We admire the beautiful babies and plan supper...

Hello folks! Well, not only have I been selected for the team, but as the team leader! My areas to brush up on are contemporary politics, modern American and British history (areas where these countries have worked together) and the geography of North and South America. I said I knew North...

When you are doing a rag quilt and sewing all the blocks together - where the blocks come together are the two seams from each side sewn OPEN or to one side? Either way it looks like they have to be clipped to rag it but I don't know whether to sew them down open or to one side? Thanks! Helen

You've talked here before about fabric you just could not cut. I believed you but hadn't come across one myself. Well, somehow it happened to me. It's a magnificent deep sea scene with very real turtles and bright fish. Oh my. So pretty. I couldn't bear to even fussy cut. Scissors in...

For those who don't know, Pillbug is almost 4 and autistic. Pillbug does not like toys, only real things. DH requested on his photography board for someone to send us a broken camera because Pillbug has always had a fascination for cameras. A wonderful man in Canada sent us a camera, two stuffed...

I have not been able to receive any posting for a couple of days. New ones have just appeared and I assume everything is back up to speed. Has anybody else been having any problems in this regard?.. John

Many, many years ago, when I was in high school, my sewing teacher told us when we bought fabric to NEVER let them tear it, as it pulled it off grain. Yesterday, while in my LQS, the lady ahead of me asked that they tear, instead of cut, as it kept the fabric ON grain. For decades, I've been...

Got an email ad from an online store I patronize. She has very fair shipping rates and excellent service- There's still too many batiks on the shelf, so let's continue with the $6.50 per yard sale through this Monday, April 30th! Price adjustments will be done on receipt of order so don't be...

I'm disabled and can not get down on the floor or kneel to pin a quilt top. I do have one of those PVC type floor model quilt frames for hand quilting but machine quilting would not work on that. I do not have any large enough tables to tape down the backing and my bed is not any help as it is a...

This is a repost: Ok, it's really not new, but it is going to be new to some of you. This is round four of the Your Pick swap. Currently our member numbers are down, and these ladies are just itching to make some blocks....the reader's digest version of this swap is as follows: you find a fabric...

Anybody got a cheap one? Or about six yards they no longer want? It's an odd project at work that I somehow have gotten roped into (without too much effort I must say). Even stranger since I work for a veterinary teaching hospital.... Anyone? Bueller? ;-) -- Debi Chaos, panic and disorder ......

Darn Google! I haven't had any posts in over two days, so I bit the bullet, as they say, and subscribed to news.individual.net on the excellent advice and assistance that Jeri sent to me thru an email. I'm glad I did! It's sooooooooo worth the tiny price to get ALL the posts and be able to...

.. . . . . the rain forecast for last night arrived this evening. Words cannot describe how happy everyone is to see even this little bit of rain, and more is forecast for next week. There have been good falls west of us too. Aahhhh! The lovely sound of pit-pat on the roof!! -- Cheryl &...

Ok, I finished piecing a simple table topper last night out of charm squares. It's a patriotic type fabric and I figured stars. Free-motion stars. I'm takin' the plunge so if you don't hear from me in a few days, call the free-motion quilting police. Go on about your bidness. Nothing to see...

I know one person here said that they had once purchased a 100ct. pk of machine needles at JoAnns. I check my local JoAnns and either they no longer carry them, or they are not carried at my location. Where do the rest of you get your bulk machine needles from?? Any online places to avoid...

wasn't there some mention of a meetup at the quilting and sewing outlet store near Southcenter. I think it was suggested and several requested to delay until after easter. Anyway, I went there to day, it's not easy to find as the sign is low down, but I spotted it the 2nd time past. They don't...

I decided on the dark blue for the binding. Now I just have to get around to actually cutting it and making it into binding. I pondered working out the lengths and putting a different color on each edge, but decided that a single color would tie the whole thing together better. The reason that I...

It always seems like this is the story, good news, bad news. I was offered a position and have accepted their offer. I have been looking for work off and on for awhile. We need to firm up our retirement plans in 6 years. The only problem is my quilting will be taking a nose dive. Since I watch...
