My DH & I have just found out that my very dear MIL has cancer. She's currently in the hospital in Boise, ID (USA), while they drain the fluid from her lung that had the biopsy last week. All prayers and healing thoughts gratefully accepted. BTW, we will be leaving Seattle on Friday afternoon...

Well, one of the advantages of living near a military base in Germany is that they provide "entertainment" for the masses Cheap Movie theaters, bowling Alleys, clubs, REc Centers and so on. In this case, we have a "crafts shop" that has a large sewing room (seven or eight tables put together to...

Hi everyone, Please put a positive thought for the city of Kelowna. One of our 900 forest fires in the province is approaching the city and has already burned some homes. Not sure yet how many but it's coming from the south. Carmen and my aunt are both in this city and I hope they and many...

Fons & Porter has a Halloween jack o'lantern pattern called Happy Jack. It was in their magazine in Sep 1999. I know I have this magazine, but I can't find it. Does anybody know if the pattern is available either seperately or in a book? I can get the back issue of the magazine, but I was wondering...

Which picture is it? Did you post it yet? We cant tell you great it is if we cant see it :) I am a long way from paper piecing--seems like it more trouble than it worth for me. I just want to sew and not mess with paper :) -- Kathy in CA Quilting...

let's just talk about fantastic bargains we've gotten the last few months, June & July 2003. Woohoo! My LQ(and craft)S has a clearance wall, and after our "Quilt Party" meeting (2 hours of presenting new products, a quick demo, show and tell, door prizes, and an exchange block with some...

Hi all! I still really want to host this round robin because I think it will be a lot of fun...but I was thinking of starting it in the new year rather than now. We are going in to the busiest time of the year for me (and I am sure many others), and I just don't think I could commit to a round...

I finished the top to my YBR (twin sized) in all shades of moss green- the magazines would call it a monochromatic quilt- how fancy! My question is how people have MQed these quilts. I am kind of thinking I would like to keep the lines straight, but not just strict SITD along the outside of the...

Thanks you! The quilt was an interesting project to tackle. I knew the subject of quilt as you go comes up here with some regularity, so I decided it might be a good idea to document what I did and share it with all of you. I hope people find it helpful. Julia in MN Lynn Tocker wrote: Hi...

Hi, all, Welll, after church today, I will be going to TSWLTH with TWO 50% off coupons, TWO birthday gift certificates, AND some birthday money! Happy dance! I'm thinking of using the coupons for books, and if I can't find any that I like, I'll use it for a 9 yard hunk of backing fabric to use...

I don't post here, or even really read posts here daily. But I had to take time out to post a thank you to those of you that do, because I harvested a lot of information from this group for my wife as she searched for sewing machine. She's become interested in quilting in the last year or so and...

My DH said "will you make a quilt for someone who is having a baby?" I said sure. I didn't know if it would be a boy or girl, so I used green and yellow with some blue and a little purple and pink. Now that it is pieced, he has decided that it didn't look like a quilt for a baby. Can you give my...
