OT OI! Bag People! by
NightMist
DD3 walks between 2 1/2 and 3 miles to school every day, and the same
again to get home. Yeah, someday I am going to meet the former mayor
that ditched the city bus system and sock him one.
Anyhow, she is taking art classes in addition to linguistics.
One of the instructors she is going to have...

connecting threads by
Sunny[_2_]
Have any of you tried the Connecting Threads batiks? They're less
expensive by far than most sites and look quite nice. But how do they
feel and how do they hold up to handling/washing/stitching? I'd
appreciate any input.

Batting scraps by
Heidi
I will de-lurk for a moment here and ask a question about uses for all
those batting scraps that build up. I just finished cleaning/
straighting/ORGANIZING my sewing room. I promised myself I wouldn't
start another project without doing this. I find that now that I have
finished a few quilts, I...

safety gloves and rotary cutting by
Martha[_6_]
I use a cut-resistant glove on the non-cutter hand, because I know I can
be a klutz.
I'm a chemist, so know about the companies that supply us.
And so I ordered this from ColeParmer:
EW-86289-60
Best D-Flex Cut-Resistant Glove, Full-Face Natural Rubber Dotted
$10.00 / each (USD)

OT entertaining a 6 year-old? by
Polly Esther[_5_]
Friday a beloved relative had foot surgery and died from a blood clot. He
was only 57. We are stunned and hurting. His 6 year-old granddaughter has
asked to come stay with me during the church and cemetery rituals. It's
pretty tough to put our grief aside, let her parents and grandparents...

Podcasts by
Brian Christiansen
The other day I was messing around in itunes at the "podcast" section of the
itunes store. I was looking for quilting podcasts, and actually found a few
by luck, but could not figure out a way to search it by subject. The only
search function I could find searched by the specific title of the...

OT seasonal lame jokes by
Taria
Before you read I warned you they were lame. : )
Did you hear about the cannibal who was expelled from school? He was
buttering up his teacher.
Have you seen Quasimodo? I have a hunch he's back!
How do you fix a jack-o-lantern? With a pumpkin patch.

OT Apple Dumplings by
NightMist
I posted this in my garden group.
Then DH read it over and told me that so long as I had typed all that I
might just as well post it to my quilt folk so they can tell me what they
do with dumplings. He says that in the interest of science we should
carefully research all permutations.

Rotary Cutter Catastrophe by
IMS[_6_]
Last night I was cutting strips of Christmas fabrics to make table
runner gifts. Let me say that I consider myself a Very careful
cutter, I always know where my hands are, where the blade is, and go
slow. But last night I was tired and had my left pinkie just a tad
over the edge of the ruler. I...

Thanksgiving - Canadian by
DiMa[_4_]
Some time back I posted a question about going to a Thanksgiving Day lunch
and if I should take something foodwise or make a gift. After your great
advice I made a little table centre-piece.
I would like to say it was held on Sunday 2 October and my gift was a big
success as was the lunch.

Besides, I've moved twice since the last one. If anyone wants my current

A tale of Woe: Part 2. The final solution by
John
I have been experimenting with construction methods for these bags,
and have come up with some creative solutions that will allow me to
use my Bernina treadle. I have in place a new Bernina that I have used
as a back-up electric machine for awhile, and It has now been
converted from electric to...

A tale of woe by
John
I just got back from the Bernina Dealer where I have dropped off my
favorite Bernina 1008 Mechanical, which I converted to Treadle use.
The reason I dropped it off, is that I managed to botch up the innards
trying to complete some bags for my wife's charity auction. I got most
of them complete,...
