I was away for a few days ... come back to some unfortunate news here, and some hurts too. Time for Life's Simple Pleasures!! What has made you happy this week? (If nothing has, no need to report ... just read a few notes and you too might realize you do have some little pleasures in your life...

when I got back home, and got everything put away, and drug out the fabrics for the blocks I'm going to be working on tonight.. I noticed that my Olfa cutting mat is messed up.. a chunk of the it is missing, and the edge of it is also cracked and broken...DS was home and I had it on up where I...

I want to thank all of you who contributed blocks for the hug quilt for my friend. I have all the blocks I need now to complete the quilt.. They are all so beautiful, and to think that I have friends like you that I have never meant and probably never will but yet we are such good friends to...

I have decided that I like pretty borders! Can anyone recommend a book with lots of ideas. I ordered one from the library (the only borders one it had), and it is so basic it met itself coming back! 'Basic quiltmaking techniques for borders and bindings' by Mimi Dietrich. Had a look on Amazon...

Ma, can you email me privately...I keep getting messages to you returned and i wanted ot send you the house pictures. Larisa

Went to the County Spring Garden Show today (in the pouring, pouring rain), and apart from buying plants (my other addiction!) bought two books from the cut price book stall, both half price. One is '21 terrific patchwork bags' by Susan Briscoe which looks really good, and the other one which I...

Finished the April Blocks - glad the Twisting Star was just a block and not a whole quilt! Bit challenging. Now await arrival of challenging SIL for a week's visit. She insists on helping so I try to get everything done in advance. Job one is to tidy the garden - if I don't she does - last year...

One of our quilt guild members brought this to our meeting today - thought you all would enjoy it. My Motto: No one expects the stamp collector to actually mail letters with his stamps. No one expects the coin collector to use his coins in a vending machine for soda. So why does everyone expect...

I am making squares that consist of two triangles (of contrasting fabrics). Is there a "rule of thumb" as to how large a square should be cut that will result, after cutting diagonally, triangles that when sewn together will result in a finished square of a given size? For example, if I want a...

My quilting friend has a Brother 1124 machine. She never got the walking foot to fit the machine and now the company has told her it is no longer available. Anyone have this machine and know what other foot would fit? Any advice welcome. Anna Belle in Palm Bay

I said that I would finish 2 twin quilts this year for my nephews when I signed up with the Get it Done in 2005 group. Since I have been on Spring Break all week my son went to stay with his grandparents in Tucson, and I am still battling the broncitis from my birthday, I have spent the week...

I am going to be driving down 57 from Effingham going to Paducah. Are there any quilt shops along the way? How about around Paducah? TIA

Celtic knotwork quilt: Everything that I could possibly cut, is cut. And I do mean everything. Everything that I could possibly sew, is sewn. This includes all the garden maze sashing and sash squares. Everything that I could possibly mark, is marked. I can't do anything else until I get those...

Sat down this morning and finished my longest-running UFO! Must be going on 20 years old. Not patchwork or quilting, but a bobbin lace hanky edging that was complete except for weaving the 2 ends together. A very fiddly task, but so satisfying to get it over with! Why did I dither so long over...

Hi Guys, Well, I will be in Lizard Land (aka Phoenix) again -- the second week in May. DD's day care provider is taking her vacation so I will be there to babysit. We are going to Hawaii on 22 April and had already planned to come home by way of Lizard Land so we could be there for the SMDGD's...
