I'm glad you had fun! Mickie is one of the nicest RCTQers I've met - and that's saying something, cuz I think they're all nice! -- Wendy http://griffinsflight.com/Quilting/quilt1.htm de-fang email address to reply "WoodenSpools" wrote in message

Lia, Yes!! Do get it on Snopes. Your assessment is mild compared to what Merry Stahel wrote when Tobin's book first came out. A woman in Racine, WI, was so taken with Tobin's thesis and the book that she created a whole quilt project using the patterns Tobin references. I saw the exhibit (at...

Those of you who have made chenille jackets...how many layers did you use? I saw one in the quilt store this past week with only two layers..one flannel and one regular cotton... plus the backing/lining. it didn't look too thick.(read fattening) Any suggestions?? Cheers, lynne in Toronto

Hello Dianne and all other chenille fans, Yes, you finish off the project completely, then place into the washing machine with a pair of jeans, wash on normal wash, the jeans give the piece of chenille a 'real work out'. Roughs it up really nicely. Place in your clothesdryer to dry. Lots of...

I'm sure that I asked this 'ages' ago, but I can't remember what the outcome was. I want to print a picture off my PC on to plain cotton sheeting to quilt. Is there a product that I can get to do this, or do I need a special lotion or printer cartridge or fabric....... Our quilting group is...

I could have sworn I had more fabric!! Which one of you raided my stash? :) Emilia

Christina received her HUG today, so now I can let you all take a look. Click here or cut and paste and scroll down to Christina's HUG album. I'm sorry the colors aren't clearer but it turned out BEAUTIFUL. http://community.webshots.com/user/merrystahel Christina cannot post to the NG,...

Thanks to those of you who helped me! Turns out I'm going to be lodging with the sister of one of my managers at work. Pauline had mentioned before that she had a sister in Glasgow, looking for a lodger, but at the time I thought it was too far from the city centre and I was investigating another...

I'm back, posting from work where I shouldn't be for about another 10 days, but when the fall semester starts on Monday and you're the one who has to get ready for it... Thanks for all the good wishes and prayers while I was out. Oh, the stories I could tell about surgeons, drugs, and...

I Hope I found a window

Yes. I went to The Four Seasons Singles Group again last night. It was a much smaller turn-out without the raucous atmosphere of the band and the rip-roaring appeal of twirling around the dance floor to the gravitating sounds of the hillbilly hymns. The cast was set when I came thru the door- they...

Thank you for your suggestions. I just returned from TSWLTH (Joann's) I bought a lovely fleece that looks like animal fur in beiges and browns. I have several Giraffe embroidery designs to put on it. She is a dear person and I just want her to have some extra (((hugs))). -- Sugar & Spice...

Yes, but . . . I wish Stephen would be more careful. The msg I got says something about, "Happy Thursday .. .". Now really! I have to focus to know what day it is, and at my age, I don't want to miss a one. Polly Vikki in WA State wrote in...

Hi, Passing on a money saving tip. I saw an item on a TV news show and followed up. The deal is - really cheap ink cartridges. For my printer black was $4.50 and color was $6.50. I got them in two days. It worked just fine. The email is eink4u.com More money for fun stuff like fabric and...

Marissa, Buy a car when you have some extra money to spare. We *still* have a Geo Metro, and for quite a while, it was our only car - the first car our son ever rode in. Fortunately, after waiting a while, we were able to get a second car (Suzuki sidekick) whic is easier for getting car seats in...

My baby quilt is finished! It's pieced, quilted, embellished, bound, and it has a label. Did I leave anything out? I can't wait to give it to my sister. It feels like it was a group effort because lots of people have given me advice and encouragement. So let's have a group happy dance for a...

You make this carrier sound so practical and nifty that Id run out and buy one right now, 'cept me and my sewing machine dont tend to travel. I still want one. lol Diana -- http://photos.yahoo.com/lunamom44 "Pat in Virginia" wrote in message ... ...

Has anyone here made the Lady Liberty Jacket by The Quilted Closet? Did you find any mistakes in the instructions? TIA Peyton

We heard from the 8 yr old's Dad yesterday. He said to pass this onto you: DD's leg still has not healed. She may have anywhere from 6 to 9 more weeks of chemo. One test came back good--the next one didn't, so they are going to be running the 3rd type this coming week. DD has greatly enjoyed the...
