Here is the picture of the Mostly Mondrian Quilt. It should be laid out with the large blue square on the bottom right, but it is late and I will change it tomorrow. 66"tall x68"wide. Interestingy enough, the markings came out without any washing. Just the handling and work of making the sandwitch...

Good Morning.... Please help us celebrate a very special birthday! Somewhat of a "manly" design can be picked up for free at: www.gransworkroom.com/software.php. How many people do you know that would wear this out for dinner on their birthday?? Now you don't need to tell the waitress for...

Where do you go to learn to be a sewing machine repair person? I have always loved poking around in devices and I realized messing with my machine, I would love to be able to repair machines. I absolutely love cleaning up the insides of grubby devices. I hate to mop the floor, but I keep the...

OK, a little backhistory: Friend from church saw the signature quilts i made for a family that moved away and decided she wanted a quilted wallhanging of her company's logo to give to her boss as a CHristmas gift. NOt a problem, she even gave me a paper mock-up of how she wanted it (size and...

The black crud was a red herring. The machine hummed along for almost 20 minutes after I pulled that gunk out of the guts of my machine. Then WHUMP it happened again. This time it yanked the bobbin so hard it is totally wedged. This happened before. The repair that time cost a couple hundred bucks...

I'm doing the Northcott Flower of the Month Club, our store is actually a few months out of synch, so we'll being doing January to April of 2007 in 2008. Along with each month's fabrics, there has been a fairly consistent set of background fabrics, mostly single colour floral, with the change...

is getting longer! I like the Husqvarna Viking Sapphire when I tried it at the weekend, I need to look at the exact specs again, but I think I'd be happy with the bottom model. Working through what's included and what's not, it looks like there will be more to add on and bump the price up...

Well I got up this morning and was going into the sewing room and thought I would check my email and look at this group. I was excited because I started a new quilt last night and was raring to get on it. I fired up the mac and nothing happened. I waited until 9:am and called Apple tech support and...

Do you know that poinsettias and mistletoe are both poisonous to your QI? Do be careful when decorating with either of these. I would suggest putting them well out of reach if we only knew where that was. It seems to me that there are several new kittens in our group and I wanted to be sure...

I have healed my machine. Healed, I say. I opened the end and started looking around, as far as I c ould see (which isn't really very far) and I noticed a tiny sort of fuzz hair. Just one. It was way back in the guts of the machine (I have no idea what to call the parts). I got my trusty pipe...

Hi Guys, OY THE PAIN -- LOL! It's time to vent again -- sorry :-))! I am unbelievably happy to have gotten past the piecing stage on this quilt. I had the quilt top put together back about a month ago and then went on holiday -- a holiday I not only needed but deserved after trying to...

OK, FOLKS.....get the postcards out. (pixs of YOUR area so he has to look up where they came from would be nice) I forgot to get Lizzy's DS's snail addy...anyone have it? Remember she said it was ok. Thanks Butterfly (I'll remind you again in another week or so.......so he won't get overwhelmed...

Leslie, Thank you so much for the idea of gluing the velcro. I have no idea why I didn't think of that. I actually had some glue in my cupboard! All's well now. -- Gen http://community.webshots.com/user/Coren920

Now excuse me, please for bein' so dense (and for askin' so many questions in one evenin') ... but *why* is JoAnn's "The Store We Love to Hate?" I've been wonderin' that ever since I wandered in here ... I've been to 'bout 6 JoAnn's in my lifetime (probably more, as most places I lived had two on...

Hi, I'm almost back to almost normal and I've been trying to finish a little table topper I've been working on. Problem is my SM is not cooperating. It started fine -- I'm free motion quilting cherries and leaves on the squares --- and then it did that dreaded jump, break the thread, birdsnest...

I'm home! Unfortunately, there were so many messages waiting for me that I've marked all but one as "read" and will continue from there. So, happy dances and hugs to all who need them -- I hope you understand. :) I had a wonderful time -- as always. I had two very good classes and a really nice...

At risk of boring some of you to tears, here's the final report on disappearing eyebrows. I didn't want to look like Tammy Faye, am a chicken about tattoos - for 2 reasons (1) I'm a coward and (2) what if they gave me that 'surprised' look some folks wear that looks like they just swallowed a...

Getting close to getting caught up! My October blocks are at: http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/photo/2527639170046414451uxUZrp I did this appliqué using Ami Simms' method from "Invisible Appliqué." My silk thread came today so the last three petals and the center of that flower were done...
