Okay, I was working the Lone Star but didn't have anymore backing fabric...so I was gonna go down today to JoAnn's and pick some up, in addition to some other quilty goodies I need. However, on Saturday, September 20, Joann's is having a Saturday Super Sale with quilters notions 50% off, Batting...

After 12 hours of traveling Monday, I got home just before 7 p.m.- exhausted! Everything was fine and no troubles- Yay! The trip to NH was wonderful! Heather (my DDIL) is the best of hostesses and my mom was on her best behavior- amazing! Dad gave me this incredible gold nugget- it's the largest...

You all as a group are a kind bunch, and I have already gotten more thanks and prayers from you all for what I do than I ever got from my patients or their families. I would just like to remind you all to give thanks today for your local ambulance, fire, rescue squad, and police. September 11th is...

Hi! Join me in a wild and crazy Chicken Dance ... and the Funky Chicken Dance too! I finished my WH I call Funky Chicken today, just in time to enter the Guild Challenge. All the entries were displayed and members voted. The display and voting will continue at the Friday meeting and the...

Dang you'vebeen busy the past week! You put the rest of us to shame! Finishing up all those UFOs is quite a challange and a great accomplishment :) I have 4 tops and 4 WH waiting to be quilted. cant really call them UFOs yet as they were only done in the last few months. All your new finished stuff...

It isn't really good. I have been thinking about dropping a note here for those of you who are interested. Laurene is having a rough time with the chemo. She was scheduled to present a trunk show last Thurs at the Phoenix Area Quilters' Association and instead her former business partner, and...

Well, we just got a dog a few days ago, but were pet-less for 3 years before that. I admit I am an animal lover through and through, but if you are not, that's ok with me. I don't hold that against anyone! It does make for a more simple life - no extra mouths to feed, or take walkies. You can leave...

Did log cabin squares in our first lesson - 3 in class, and then 3 for homework. The second three were better than the 1st 3, but i'm not entirely happy with the 2nd 3 either, so I'm going to do all 6 again. i also had a flash of inspiration, that although making a scrap quilt from my...

See you all when I get back! Linda -- Sugar & Spice Quilts by Linda E http://community.webshots.com/user/frame242

I'm looking for some ideas of some sort of quilt related games to play at our Quilt Guild's holiday party. I'd welcome any ideas! Thank you Donna

HI Quilt buddies! I'm back to my normal life style. LOL I think! The last time I checked in was June. What's been happening since then? Alot! And none of it was good. After my surgery, DH had his surgery to have a very LARGE hemorrhoid removed. It went fine, took him 6 hours after surgery...

Has any of you entered a Hoffman challenge or other challenge? I would like to hear about it and see your entry. Can I have your autograph?

Pa finally sent me photos of Mom's Grandmother's Fan. I have taken finished photos, but apparently they are lost in DH's 26 rolls of undeveloped film G. I posted the Fan on my Webshots page, in the More Quilts album. There is a closeup of one fan to show the antique lace and Pa put a photo of...

Hi, Has anyone ever tried one of those pre-cut quilt kits (like the Dresden Plate from Hancock Fabrics)? Just wondering about them. Paula

I had to put down my quilting since I promised to make at least 5 of my grandkids their own Halloween costumes. Like that county western song - What was I thinking!!!! They each picked out what they wanted to be and when I realized that I have to have them done before 10/3 when I have my knee...

This is to Pat in VA, and anyone else who has to pay by the line. My sincere apologies that my response got that foul-mouthed idiot's ranting back on your computer. Since I have had no luck in deleting obnoxious messages from my newsgroup, I assumed everyone else was in the same case. Also, I...

It's been years since I've posted about a health concern -- probably about 4 years ago, in fact. (And so many of you are new since then, and don't remember me at all!) Some of you might remember a long-ago post about some sort of irregularity in a PAP test I had back then, and that they wanted to...

Hi all. Just wanted to share this with anyone who might be interested, I have just purchased several fat quarters on eBay for a very good price, some are repo. prints (30s) and some are Thimbleberries. Anyone interested can check it...

Hi all, Can someone/anyone help me get my brain in gear please? Here is the situation: I have three nieces for whom I want to make quilts when they graduate from high school. The oldest, "R" graduates in June 2004 -- lots of time. "L" graduates in 2006, no problem. "H" graduates in 2008,...

Somehow, I'm on someone's list. Big surprise, I know! (Stop snickering, you all!!!) Actually, I mean for free quilting magazines. They must think I have a retail quilting business, not just the longarm stuff. Anyways, I know those of you outside North America have a hard time getting US magazines,...
