HELP!! Dead mouse odor by Sunny[_2_]
I haven't been into my fabric storage area in the sauna in a few days. When I walked into the sauna tonight, I was hit in the face with the unmistakable smell of dead mouse. Groan. I'm leaving Thursday morning very early for Phoenix. I have things to do all day tomorrow. That means when I come back...

tidying up the back of a top before quilting by Hanne[_2_]
Dear all, Quilt police aside, how much do you tidy up (for lack of better phrase) the back of your tops before layering and quilting? I've finished a top which has a lot of (somewhat) bias edges. There is no issue with stretching, however all those pieces fray like mad on the back. Not like...

Bernina question by Sartorresartus
I have the Artista 180 (Millenium edition). Now I remember why I haven't used the computer link up for ages. I have no serial port on my laptop! Question: can I get a cable (does one exist?) having a USB end and the sort of rectangular end that fits the machine? I got the machine serviced last...

Fabric and DH update by GrammyKathy[_3_]
DH took the fabric back and got more. Found out they desided they knew more than him when he got the first batch. THIS TIME HE picked it out and as usual he did an awesome job. Still got more than I needed, but that is ok cause I really needed brown. NOW for him. He went back to the Dr and boy...

Another LQS Gone by Debbi[_2_]
Yesterday, A Time to Sew shut their doors. It was a truly sad day. A Time to Sew opened up many many years ago under the name Leah's. At one time there were 7 stores. By the time I started quilting 12 years ago, they only had 2 stores. Leah and her husband ran the stores until a few years ago...

laundromat irritation by Mary
I recently purchased several very long lengths of lovely fabric for quilting, and took it to the laundromat today to pre-wash in the giant machines. Fine and dandy. When it was in the dryers, two mothers of pre-school children came in with their kids, and put them ON the oversize table to run and...

Nel - your Logo by Ursula Schrader
Hi Nel, I hope you don't mind if I reply on the group. Sorry for not getting back to you sooner, but life in general came between. Your logo looks just right, and it's yours. If possible, I rather use what I can make myself, too, so there. As for a great future in the design sector - I strongly...

OT electric space heaters by Leslie& The Furbabies in MO.
I like a cool bedroom but not a chilly bathroom. Is there a rating system for small electric space heaters (bathroom is about 12 ft. X 9 ft.) that rates how energy efficient they are? Is one type of electric heater more energy efficient than another? (This is for USA heaters and use, of...

OT knitting by NightMist
I like to knit. I have an afghan I have been working on composed of strips that I plan on connecting with Bosnian crochet ribbons. Very pretty, coming along nicely, but I am going to have to put it up again for awhile before I commit bloody murder. It is not frustrating for me to do the work....

Door County Report by Susan Laity Price
Four days of enjoying the beauty of God's creation (with a few quilt shops visited along the way). The drive from our home to Door County is about six hours if you take the fastest, non-scenic highways. The weather Monday was so pretty even the interstate was scenic. We stopped At Primitive...

Lengthening a square quilt by Trixie[_2_]
I just finished the medallion center of a square quilt, and now need to figure out how to lengthen it so it is bed-quilt sized. I think what I want to do is put a row of blocks along the "top" and "bottom" so it is rectangular. I have a bunch of striped fabric that matches the fabric used in...
