A Texan had a flat tire, pulled off on the side of the road, and proceeded to put a bouquet of flowers in front of the car and one behind it. Then he got back in the car to wait. A passerby studied the scene as he drove by and was so curious he turned around and went back. He asked the fellow...

Has anyone ever been to a quilt related PJ party? Our guild is going to have one in January and I am involved with the program group trying to come up with fun ideas for the party. We are thinking about having a fashion show of PJ's and voting for the best in some of the categories. We also have...

Focus on Design is my every-once-in-a-while feature. I offer a specific quilt top block or style for discussion. I include some links to get the conversation. NAYY. Please contribute your own resources. This is not the place to talk about Granny's dentures, nor favorite movie, nor even your stash!...

This is a personal note to Carrie K in CANADA. I can not find your email address this morning. I found an envelope addressed to you with several small pieces of fabric inside. There is room for more fabrics. What did I promise you? These pieces are little bits of this and that. Are you the one who...

Does anyone know what the Bernina e65 sewing machine costs? I have evidently won one of these, and I was just wondering about the value. I guess I can wait and call a local dealer. Sherry Starr

not a surprise in the least. I am not 100% sure, but I think there was an arrest there today. I did not see the news, but my mother called saying they did make the news today, and that there was an arrest. Here are some articles that have recently shown up...

Hi Judy, Welcome! Well, first of all, do you intend to quilt often -- to make a lot of quilts in the future? Because, personally, I'd toss the lovely Warm and Natural 90 inch batting in my 'stash' and go off to the store and buy a king-sized piece of warm & natural. You can buy it with a 40%...

I am going to ask my husband for a cordless iron for Christmas. What ones do you all have and love? I am especially looking for one that gets hot all the way to the tip. My old corded one gets nice and hot, but not as hot at the tip. So my product testers....what makes/models do you reocommend...

After weeks of research and asking questions and pricing things, I bought a Dell color laser printer. It just arrived and is sitting in it's box in my living room warming up and waiting for hubby to get home from work. (it weighs about 75 lbs.) Yippee! I'll let you know how I like it. I've...

My son & his wife live in Japan, and we use Skype rather than the land-line phone to talk to each other. He uses it for some international business, so he pays for the service whereby he can use his computer to ring to regular phones, but I just use the free service. its kind of fun talking to...

Howdy! Joann's also carries the wonderful Hobbs Heirloom batt; king size is 120"x120". You can trim the batt after you get your quilt sandwich layered (I wait until after I've pin-basted then trim the batt, leaving 3"-4" overlap on each side). Or you can get another piece of batt to join to that...

You can sew two pieces of batting together. I often do that when I have largish scraps that aren't big enough for a quilt. I lay the two pieces next to each other, overlapping slightly. Then I cut through the overlap and throw away the small scraps. I mark both pieces at several spots so that I can...
