New quilt finished - pix by
Bronnie[_2_]
I have just finished a Japanese fabric quilt which I have titled
"Kirichigae". Kirichigae means 'changed cut' and is the name of the
block (#39) from the quilt book " Japanese Quilt Blocks, to mix &
match" by Susan Briscoe. There are some lovely block designs in this
book. The block...

OT had to share this one by
Polly Esther[_5_]
Down in Lafourche Parish, Louisiana, Boudreaux gets a job with BP helping
with the oil spill cleanup. He reports for work and is told to speak to a
supervisor about his assignment.
He finds the man and asks, "What it is I supposed to do?"
The supervisor tells him to go to the animal shelter and...

Realizing I should have taken up a different hobby by
Sunny[_2_]
The first truly quilted thing I made was a 'quilt' for my oldest son.
I used the yellow brick road pattern and had him pick out about 10
different patterns of fleece. It's huge. I made it long enough and
wide enough for him to roll completely up in, head and toes included
(he's 6'3"). I backed it...

An Item of Mostly Girly Silliness by
John
Here is a truly one of a kind crazy idea. While making one of the bags
this came as an inspiration to me for doing something that might be
considered somewhat "Off The Charts". My wife shakes her head when
she sees it and wonders if this whole sewing thing has gotten out of
hand. I, on the other...

CNN 5 yrs after Katrina by
Susan Laity Price
After watching CNN for several hours report on the Gulf coast 5 years
after Katrina I was wondering if our on-the-spot reporters who lived
through the storm could give us a personal report. Are your
communities functioning again? Or maybe the question should be were
they functioning again before...

feeling stupid by
Karen, Queen of Squishies[_2_]
Thunderbird, my newsreader, decided to update itself. Now I can't find
the 'reply' button when I read the messages. What I wanted to say was -
John, you should start a line of Girly accessories on Etsy. They look
great! But I couldn't find the button. Alas... I suppose that's what I
get...

ping Leslie by
Taria
Leslie, You would appreciate this. I just took Georgia in for her rabies
and other shots. DH asked when I got home if I remembered her shot card.
I reminded him those are for little kids, dogs just get a rabies
certificate.
Kind of funny. Dogs, kids, not shortage of shots with either.

I've had this for *years* in the garage and have no idea how to put it
together.

There are bolts with wing nuts all over it. The wide piece across the
middle bolts into the narrow 3-pc sections on each end, there are
clear marks where it has gone...

Needing Grinch Christmas authority by
Polly Esther[_5_]
What was I thinking? Our youngest daughter, DDIL, Grand and BF asked for
Christmas tree skirts back last December and I thought that would be such a
happy, easy gift for all 4 of them.
The one on the design wall just now is for DD. She is such a fan of The
Grinch. The stash had some...

Mystery Bag Revealed. by
John
Ok. So it really isn't a mystery. But it might have been a mystery,
if I could have completed it as one. Let me explain. This Large,
Shoulder Tote/Weekender bag, started out to be a Back Pack of the
Bergen Rucksack type. I bought a bunch of heavy weight cotton canvas
for the structural foundation...

OT no brakes on Hurricanes by
Polly Esther[_5_]
I'm hoping all our friends on the Atlantic coast even inland as much as 200
miles are paying serious attention to Hurricane Earl.
Hurricanes do not roar up to the beach and slam on brakes. They weaken
just a little when they hit land but they spawn tornadoes and all manner of
misery.

How To Become a Basket Case! by
John
This is the last of these things I am going to do. They are just too
hard to sew. When you have to sew together 4 layers of canvas, two
layers of batting and Pellon stiffener, it is more than a simple
mechanical sewing machine can handle. I had to hand sew the bottom to
the side by rotating the...

OT OT how to destroy by
Polly Esther[_5_]
I need to destroy a computer. It's not that I'm angry or anything. I just
need it destroyed to ashes.
There's nothing on it that would be particularly useful to the law
enforcement drones - just stuff that's personal and I don't want to share.
Do I take a screwdriver and axe,...

Back to School by
Lizzy Taylor
After 7 long weeks the boys are both back in school as of this morning.
Now I can work longer and more productive hours at work which I hope
will translate to better down-time at home including more quilting and
catching up on stuff.
I feel almost sane!

Gorgeous work, as usual, Steve. The colors just sing. I like the style
of the birds, in particular. Just lovely.
Btw, we're all getting older. ;)
