Tomorrow 3/20/10 is the first day of spring. The season turns at 10:32AM Pacific Time. It is also Quilting Day! Don't forget to sew a few stitches. Or fondle fabric. Or pick a pattern. For those of you heading to the Glendale Quilt show at the Burbank Hilton, have fun! Don't forget to stop and...

In about an hour DH and I leave on a road trip. We are taking my 93 yr young mother-in-law on a 7 hour drive. There we will pick up my 90 yr young father. Tomorrow morning will proceed to Yosemite Nat'l Park. DH and I will be sharing the driving duties....... Waterfalls from the spring run-off are...

It is raining "cats and dogs" right now. I have to go to work in about an hour. Thank goodness the drive is only 5 miles, not the 50 miles up the coast like I used to. Everyone is on flood watch around here. We had a fire a few miles away late last year, in the hills. and we cannot forget La...

A semi-local fabric shop has a quilt challenge due in July using Laura Birch's cat fabric. I am thinking how to do a small piece that is based on the title "Who Let the Cats Out?" Came up with designing paper-bag looking pockets with parts of fussy-cut kitties hangin out :))) Simple piecing that...

Howdy!! just got back yesterday from a 3 day quilt retreat (altho' I must say it more like a re-treat for me). Lots and lots of sewing, long days, starting at the 5AM wakeup call on Fri to get packed and driving, sew until 8PM, up and sewing at 7AM Sat, sew until 10:15PM, up and sewing at 5:30AM...

I am looking for a copy of "Celtic Quilts; A New Look for ancient designs" by Beth Ann Williams (pub 2000). I have been out-bid on eBay twice now for this book. If anyone has a copy they no longer want in their collection, or for some reason have two copies (ask me how I know how this can be...

Not wanting to offend anyone, here is the link to Michelle's obituary, in our local paper. She is in the stars tonight, playing with her mom meSue. http://obits.venturacountystar.com/09-11-05/stuyvesant.shtml Ginger in CA

Well, we got in late last night. Sorry, I will not have the time to read thru all the posts, so hugs to those who have asked for prayers and good thoughts, howdy to the newbies. We left at 3AM on Thursday morning from Oxnard. Yes, we got up at 2AM! Mz Bfly had asked me about stopping at her house...

Just got word that Mz Butterfly's DH made it through surgery. Her DS sent just that info. Her DS may post here using Bfly's name, but don't count on it. I 'spect it will be a few days before we hear any more. Ginger in CA breathing a sigh of relief

Has anyone here donated their long hair to this organization? I decided last summer to do this, and DH talked me into waiting until this year. He wanted me to wait until May or June, I agreed to 1st week of March. My hair is almost to my waist (3 years ago it was only 3 inches long all over!) and I...

No, not hunting goats! Goat fabric is needed by our "token male" at a little quilt group I joined in a nearby town. Rex is a retired farmer who took up quilting and sewing to keep busy. He is a real funny guy, and is making a goat quilt for his friend. He is looking for both a panel that has goats...

;))) DH doesn't know yet. Hmmm-wonder if I can sneak her into the house. "Gee, honey, I don't know where that machine showed up from. Are you sure you didn't miscount my machines?" http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=6150718623&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT Ginger in CA back to HUG...

Well, went and had my hair cut off for Locks of Love tonight. After the cut and my hair dried, it is just at collar length, verrry wavy/curly all on its own. The gal was surprised that cutting it and getting rid of the weight had so much difference within 5 minutes. She was sure it is a perm (it's...

Okay, here is the recipe I just used to make Irish Cream 3 whole eggs 1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk 1 13 oz can evaporated milk 1 tbsp instant coffee 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 1 tsp coconut flavor put all into blender, blend well

This morning I needed to make a small holder of sorts. I made a simple pouch in less than half hour. Cut two 9" squares of fabric, coordinating if you like. I chose a Native medallion print with a dark red coordinate. Decide which will be the lining. Sew them together with 1/4" seam, right sides...

Hello, my name is Ginger, and I think I am a sewing machine addict. I have accumulated 7 (yes, seven!) new-to-me sewing machines in the last 18 months. The youngest is my Singer 834 dating from the 1970's, the rest are much older. My most recent acquisition was a Singer 99 from eBay on Monday...

Don't know, having problems posting here. I have a new gmail account due to the gun club business, so that is what may appear here now, but the msn.com account I have used for over a decade is the correct one for this group. No clue. I am so techno geekless! We'll see if this works. Ginger in CA

Wondering if anyone has used them before? Wondering of anyone has a Hunter's Star packet in their stash they no longer want and would consider rehoming it? Have a peace-filled/piece-filled day, Ginger in CA ]

oooh, he is probably mad he has had to turn in his "man-cat card" with new pink toenails. Hoping the house effort continues moving forward! Ginger in CA On Sunday, July 9, 2017 at 2:08:53 PM UTC-7, Night Mist wrote: So the bank needed to copy some more papers, thus I was poking about in my...
