Ok, this is one of those instances of going out shopping, seeing something that I know I want, telling myself I don't need it today and won't have time to work on it so don't buy it now. And of course, now that I need it, now that I want it and now that I have time to work on them, I can't find...

This is a true event that happened to me about two years ago. Some of you here may remember this story from my original post, but I thought I'd repost it for all the new readers here who haven't seen it before. It is as educational as it is funny. I've got a friend who decided to make a cross...

I finally finished the Christmas stockings for DS's family that I started shortly after Christmas last year. When I had those just about done, DD asked if I could also make stockings for her family. Those are all done and photos are near the bottom of...

Help! I am trying to find a quilter who has been on Simply Quilts and other shows and I have forgotten her name and can't find her online anymore. She makes scenes with beautiful women's faces and fanciful fabric. The hair is gorgeous as I recall. The faces are quite realistic. Many of her scenes...

Here's wishing everybody a wonderful Holiday celebration. Don't eat more than you can handle. John

Does anyone know if such a thing exists? I swear I've seen it at Joann's, but I can't find it on their website. Not only theirs, but I can't find it anywhere, not ebay, not even cafepress (on a t-shirt or something). So, does such a thing exist? -- Anita --

Winston has grown up enough to warrant his own photo album! I took these photos of him when I realized that he had managed to jump up onto a narrow window frame ledge behind a venetian blind and a lace drape. He's out of luck during the winter months though because the slider is now closed for...

misty water colored memories, of the way we are..... can you tell? It's cold, gray, drizzly here in soggy Texas today and yes, post-hysterectomy I'm feeling a little maudlin today. But KK's post really made me think about how special this group is and how one is never really "forgotten"...

OMGOMGOMG!!!!!! Just got a decision in the mail today! You all might recall some years ago, I think I was talking to Kate, that I was grousing a bit about a woman and her daughter who ordered a Very Expensive OOK wedding gown complete with point lace veil, and then about 6 weeks before the day,...

I have been given the most beautiful FQ I have ever seen -- big, loose cream flowers on bright red with lime green/spring green leaves and stems and veins i nthe flowers. I don't want to cut this up, and there is no chance of ever getting any more. It's out of print, etc. So what do I do with just...

I'm off to visit my parents in Amarillo, Texas and won't be on the newsgroup much, if at all. Y'all behave yourselves and if you don't.....have fun!!! Keep us in your thoughts as my dad has been hospitalized for about three weeks, so I don't really know what I'll find when I get there. It all...

After spending all weekend running up and down the stairs, from my sewing machine to my dh's computer (mine is in the process of crashing so I'm desperately saving/backing up all those things that I really can't bear to lose before the final crash comes), I got to thinking about quilty...

Hey there, looking for opinions. And I know this is the place to come for a goodly variety of them. BG I'm being offered, maybe, a serger. I know nothing about it other than that it's a Pfaff and it has never been used. Probably several years old. Do you folks find you use a serger often enough...

OMG!!! I was in the garage painting some trim moldings and my mail carrier brought a LARGE box to me. I glanced at the return address and then frantically cleaned the paint off my hands- I KNOW Karen Garza's name!- and tore the box open..... and OMG!!! There inside is the most totally,...

There are 23 aircraft in the air fighting it, including a converted DC-10 airplane, and 1700 firefighters on the line....

I'm in the process of letting all of my subscriptions expire. I get a slew of them and have for years. I have a large bookcase full of old issues of quilt magazines. And I'm always excited when they arrive in my mail box. I read thru them; they sit on the end table; and I file them away. It...

I'm still trying to track that quilter. I saw her on a quilt television show. It was an alternative quilt channel started by one of the women who started QNN. Not Jodi, but the dark haired woman. It was smaller and you had a choice which show to watch. For some stupid reason my favorite's list got...
