I know that there are lots of people out there who have much larger stashes than I do, however I discovered today that I am a fabric squirrel. I found that I was running out of fabric on a project and started rummaging through drawers of previous project materials and discovered that I still had a...

May I ask what is recommended for making templates? I am making a Butterfly scrappy quilt and have to cut out many butterflies (in two parts about the size of a file card). Carla -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service...

Adorable and inspirational. Thanks! Yvette "Anne" wrote in message ... DD#2 just sent me this URL. I'd like to say she is a chip off the old block, but I think she has surpassed ole' Mom's quilting already. This ...

Just when I thought I knew everything....... Mosquito repellents don't repel. They hide you. The spray blocks the mosquito's sensors so they don't know you're there. Dentists have recommended that a toothbrush be kept at least 6 feet away from a toilet to avoid airborne particles resulting from...

Well, I got the little quilt done for Rebekah...now I need to remember to get it into the suitcase. Yesterday, I vacuumed out my car, installed the new booster seat for my 3yo, and installed the infant carseat/carrier. I also washed the cushions from the toddler seat and the stroller, so as far...

While looking through my new "Quilts and Other Comforts" catalog today, I ran across a pattern I'd seen in a book a while back. I didn't buy the book, because this one pattern was really the only one I liked. Now it's available singly, but I'd like y'all to give me your opinion on...

Okay, I got two points sewn all nice and solid - even though I had to rip out one side of the second point, re-pin and then go back and do it again. The thrid point went well on one side, then the other side bunched all up, even though it LOOKED straight under the machine. I'm tired of this...

I guess I'll rummage around and find my copy of Kidnapped for some good bedtime reading. Who has not yet see Pirates of the Carribean? (I love pirates) RedQueen

Hello all - As it is the beginning of the school year, the teachers ask if parents are interested in volunteering in the classroom or showing/teaching hobbies etc...so, being the glutton for punishment that I am...I said I'd love to show the kids quilting/sewing. Well, Ms. Zadi (rhymes with lady)...

Well I went to my sister's for the weekend to help out with the kiddlets again. Things for the most part were pretty quiet. My nephew continues to have some very difficult times and had one outburst while I was there that resulted in a broken door. He put his fist through a closet door. I don't...

Anyone know of a free site, without a lot of pop-ups and with easy to manuever webpages where there are free applique flower patterns? Baskets and butterflies with said patterns are fine. Also, a site where Bible blocks patterns are? I know there's one site that has Bible blocks but a lot of the...

Spew warning!!! LN's post reminded me of something that was on TV the other night. We stumbled on it while DH was handling the remote (read: constantly changing channels), and I think it was some sort of "Game Shows' Funniest Moments" kind of thing. Remember the old Newlywed Game? Question (for...

I always want to thank so many people here who take the time to post and share so much, but I get busy and forget. While the thought is fresh in my mind, I just wanted to thank Mel and Merry in particular. Mel's posts about her positive machine quilting experince gave me the nudge to sit down and...

In an e-mail replying to Diana's thread about getting started in quilting, Julie said she always had a quilt in her life thanks to her Grandmother. That got me to thinking (a dangerous thing at this time of day when I'm tired from work!). What's the first quilt you remember in your life? Like...

Hi all, A few weeks back I posted a request for patterns for making headcovers from quilting fabric. Someone posted a link to a great pattern for a "doo rag", which is pretty much just what I was looking for. Unfortunately, I've lost the link and can't seem to get back to that old post, so I'm...
