I have another real good reason to make another baby quilt. Not only is DD#1 expecting in October, DS#2 called to say they are expecting in late October or November too. (Grandbaby # 6 and 7) -- Mary http://community.webshots.com/user/mardor1948

Just wanna wish Mika a wonderful birthday!! -- Teri http://gallery.ppwp.com/gallery/Tquilts

Gosh, it got quiet in here for a bit. I was afraid there was something wrong with my email again. Happy 3-11 Day! Any PDQ Bach fans here? I'm going to see Professor Peter Schickele at a radio interview in about an hour. I'm so excited! I've been a fan since the early 70's. For those who don't...

Went to Dallas Quilt Show Today. It was fabulous. There was lots of pretty quilts and vendors galore. I picked up a few items such as fat quarters, a pattern or two, 14 spools of embroidery thread, some 2 inch grid for watercolor wall hangings. Not too bad. I think I spent a little less than a...

I'm sure you are not a quilter because you can't even chuck your spear Kay "Maaxx" wrote in message ... I wonder if black people can quilt or if they are too dumb for anything over the spear-chucking level.

I broke my promise & made a quicky quilt for my DGD's first grade teacher. I'll put it on my machine quilting pile to complete by May and now back to my UFO pile. Only a small back slide..........

Well, a picture of my quilt is at least....check out May's The Quilter Magazine. My quilt can be found in the Reader's Exchange....I am very excited to see it in print! -- Teri http://gallery.ppwp.com/gallery/Tquilts

I don't get online for 3 days and you guys chatter away!! Just a quick update from me as I will be feverishly working for the next few days (weeks??). I finally got in touch with the young bride who wanted me to make her wedding dress. The date has been moved up to THIS year...March 12th (if the...

DH is dragging his feet. He said that he'd copy some DVDs for me...that was a month ago. He said he'd try to recover the data off my laptop....that was three weeks ago. So....instead of waiting on him, I'm going to at least rebuild the website, copying it from the files on my server. It's just...

Ok, now that I feel really guilty for turning someone elses thread into my own grandmas quilt and fabric swap - I just want to say thank you to everyone who responded and to those who offered empathy and encouragement. I have pre-packaged fabric and addressed envelopes and DS and I will head to...

Today I received an exciting squishy!! It was a surprise from wonderful friends, who had this sent from Keepsake Quilting. The set of six fat quarters is called Charlotte's Garden Medley. The colors and style will be fantastic for our sitting room. I need to decide on a pattern; might go...

I've got preprinted fabric foundation for several designs, including a NYB. Has anyone tried one of these? I'm concerned about getting the curves sewn nicely with the extra bulk of the foundation. (Why didn't I think about this BEFORE I bought the foundation?) joan

I saw a pattern a while back and now that I want it I don't know where I saw it or what it was called. It had squares en-point with strips between that formed a zig-zag pattern. The squares are offset.

We had a mysterious power failure last week. Everything just shut down for 5 minutes and then switched on again. And there must have been a surge that disrupted the network box, in spite of protectors. The computers are all OK, but mine can no longer find its connection to the net! So I'm using...

Rooting through my stash to work out a quilt to take the place of Leslie's wedding quilt (the one that went Really Bad) I came across a piece of fabric that is the PERFECT COLOR and the PERFECT PRINT. But I'm almost certain it's rayon. Can I mix that with the rest, which are mostly Moda marbles...

A man calls home to his wife and says,....... "Honey I have been asked to go fishing up in Canada with my boss & several of his friends. We'll be gone for a week. This is a good opportunity for me to get that promotion I've been wanting so could you please pack enough clothes for a week and set...

I have had a not very good day. Sat down to machine stitch on a quilt and my walking foot broke. I think I have worn it out, it has already been repaired once, but this is a different problem. The prong that fits over the needle bar broke off. I have a Bernina 930 and replacement parts are...

Has anyone here done a Dear Jane quilt? I'm apparently in the process of being bitten by the bug ... Any words of advice from anybody? I remember Tutu talking about doing hers a few years back (Tutu? Are you still on rctq?). Just saw pictures of the two she did, and wow, they're spectacular...

Hi Everyone... I've posted every pieced block that i've received so far on the website (less duplicates): http://michelle.absolutad.com/quilts/hug.htm If you sent me a block recently and you do not see it posted, please let me know to wait! :) also there is a picture of the blocks hanging on the...

Hi everyone! I have been hosting a block swap for the HGTV BOM Strolling the block quilt. Each member has made 12 blocks, sent them to me & expects to get one of each back (12 blocks). Unfortunately, we have lost a member...so, we need a sub. If anyone is interested in joining in, and is...
