Attention machine quilting gurus! Despite the many quilts I've made, only a few have been MQed and I'm just about ready to quilt the raffle t-shirt quilt. I have a thin cotton batting and a flannel backing. Is there anything specific to quilting a tshirt quilt that I should be aware...

Looking for any leads on wooden cases (boxes) for Featherweight SM. This would be similar in configuration to the original black case. Perhaps a craftsman makes these to order. Links appreciated. TIA, PAT in VA/USA

Hi All. I just wanted to pop in and give you all an update on my Dad and daughter. Dad's surgery went great. They went ahead and stripped out the lymph nodes just to be on the safe side. Mom said they really laid his scalp open, looked like a pinwheel. They won't get the test results back...

Our younger daughter (20) went to Orlando last Sunday to start a semster of internship at Disneyworld. She is a theater major, (done with 3 semesters at San Diego State), has sung solos in church and school and local events since age 6, was Miss Meridian in 2003, high GPA etc. So she went with...

Yesterday DH and I decided that I just need one day of not traveling up there to the hospital. Hard as it is to leave him up there alone, I had to agree. I'm not really safe on the road, here in the dead-zone of travel weary. So I will be home all day today. I plan to call him at least 3 times,...

Well, today I took a few minutes and actually started a list of my projects. Just the ones I could remember off the top of my head. Projects that need to be finished: 22 (included swap blocks that need to be set together, partially done things from classes and so on) Tops ready to be quilted: ...

Hi all, My little son got his first "little duckling" swimming award today - I was so proud! Although he's not yet 2, he's been coming to parent and child swimming since he was 6 months, and he adores it. Rather than sewing the patches/badges onto his swimsuit - as he'll grow like a weed and...

Hi All, Does anyone have the new in-store coupon for JoAnn Fabrics that they can e-mail me? Someone tried to e-mail it to me, but it was empty when I opened it. Sometimes it doesn't work if you just forward it. When you send it to me, maybe you can also e-mail it to yourself at the same...

Thanks, you guys are good for the soul! Now - I need everyone to think WARM thoughts. HOT even. My drains are frozen, and I would much rather be sewing on my day at home. Yes, much rather be sewing than boiling water to pour down the drains to get them thawed. BUT - I am thankful that it...

It seemed so simple. All I want to order is 3 plastic templates, 2 patterns and 2 yards of fabric. However, the place I'm attempting to order from seems to have some sort of problem with the idea of sending plastic templates overseas in a Global Priority envelop. They want to bill me $3 for...

I have bought probably 50-60 things off of Ebay. I have not had one bit of trouble with any of the descriptions or the prices. So far everything has been true to what the seller had said. My DH on the otherhand had trouble with one guy. He was buying me a St. Louis Cardinals jersey and had...

I don't want to bug Karen with this right now given her huband's medical situation. I know she is coordinating a newer hug right now, are you guys sending the blocks or are you holding on until we figure if maybe someone else might take over? BTW, I volunteer to piece that one. Second question: I...

Remember when I said Ginger's Wedding Hug was lost in the mail? Here is a picture of it and a quick description. PLEASE keep your eyes peeled for it. The contact person, Hobo (in California), is the one to notify if you have seen it, (email addy is on the website)...or you can email me...

OFF TOPIC, Put Beverages Down! You know this is a new age when: 1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave. 2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years. 3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3.

The drains can take care of themselves. I have been making progress on the wedding quilt in between naps (and phone calls to my sweetie). He's worn out from just surviving, but he's still in the safe zone. Here ya go ......... http://community.webshots.com/user/hicall Karen, Queen of...

Some may say I have wy too much time on my hands, but this morning at the supermarket they had nice plastic hangers in the perfect color to match our dressing room and a giveaway price. So I bought tons of them. And just finished going through all DH's shirts. Tossed out lots that no longer fit or...

i was looking up ways to make money on ebay with quilting, and doing a google search ran this page up. this site i saw was pretty strange. about some artist on ebay named Sesillie Girelli and possible fraud. http://www.freewebs.com/supercalifrag/

An extraordinarily handsome man decided he had the responsibility to marry the perfect woman so they could produce beautiful children beyond comparison. With that as his mission he began searching for the perfect woman. Shortly thereafter he met a farmer who had three stunning, gorgeous daughters...

I bought the sweatshirt today all ready to turn it into a quilted jacket, but unfortuntely didn't bookmark the site the instructions are on with 'Jacket' - so now I am faced with lots of irrelevant sites - one of which might contain something relevant!. Please can some kind person steer me towards...
