Need a FQ fix? by
AliceW
If anyone is planning on going to the Haddonfield craft fair today, leave
early, wear good walking shoes and go to the Little Shop to get 25 FQ for
$25! The FQ are normally $2.25 and you can also get 1/2 yard cuts which
would count as 2 FQ. NAYY
I went yesterday and did some damage there. ...

Iron kvetching was Re Happy ending for Joann coupon. by
Elena
Did I use that word right? kvetching? like looking over someone's
shoulder in a card game and giving unwanted and revealing advice?
Well I "could" complain that my iron has no cover over the steam hole.
So if I get really fast, the water sloshes back out of it, and it's REALLY
HOT water too! I...

lost hug quilt by
Marijke
I'm so upset!
I made a hug quilt for someone in a site I'm active in. The post office lost
it.
No, it wasn't insured. No tracking. I know. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
Anyway, it's no good to anyone else but the intended recipient but just in
case it does turn up somewhere, I posted photos of the...

OT- ? about Transitions eyeglass lenses by
Pati Cook
I don't get the darken in the sun lenses because the lenses always have some
color in them. Plays havoc with matching/determining colors. Do think
about that. Also here in the desert they are a lot slower to change back to
light because of the heat.

The Grace Cometh by
Nurse Ratched
You must know my husband--except in our house, we've reversed the process. We
already have the table saw, the lathe (with some kind of Super Deluxe Chuck),
the drill press, and the bandsaw. We no longer bother referring to it as the
garage--it's the shop. Makes it a lot easier to raise the issue...

Machine Applique Advice by
Monique Reed
You may find that the homespuns just don't have a high-enough thread
count to not fray when manipulating edges. You are better off trying
a fusible applique (no turn under) with some sort of stitch over the
edge.

Quilt Tree by
Nurse Ratched
Based on your limited explanation, I expect you've been dragged into
participating in the fabric version of a chain letter. Many well-meaning
people pass these on to others they know. Bottom line: unless you're at the
very top, the math doesn't work. Ever.

Holiday quilting project by

Well. Next Friday we fly off to Canada. (Calgary, Edmonton, Rockies, maybe
Whitehorse). What to do?
I am still HQ my KS star medallion quilt. It is on a three pole frame and I am

and take it to quilt on the plane? ...

Book review needed - Patchwork Quilts Made Easy by
Martha in IN
Mardi,
I have this book and would say that it is very appropriate for an
intermediate quilter. While not a "learn to quilt" book, it has some fairly
easy blocks, i. e., 9 patch, log cabin, and such. It also has appliqué and
blocks appropriate for using templates, (fan quilts). I haven't used it,...
