Rita L. in MA[_2_]
Hi All,
First, my apologies to those of you who have heard a lot of this
already. You may delete or read on and be bored. The choice is yours :-)
Back in the beginning of May a CT scan confirmed what I had suspected.
The drug I was taking had stopped working. Dr. D and a doctor at Mass....

Scraplique? by
[email protected]
I saw Jane Townswick's "Artful Applique II: Introducing Scraplique and
12 New Floral Designs" on Amazon.com. If anyone is familiar with this
book, would you please comment on that technique and whether the book
is worth getting? It is not available in my local library system.
Thanks,
Bev in TX

so....the kids and I were pretty down this weekend....we all miss
Nugget, even though he really didn't love any of us, just tolerated
us. Hubby said we could get a new feline family member today, so kids

they had to agree on...

I lose! =D by
Sartorresartus
If the person with the largest stash when she dies, wins, I lose! I
lose big style. I want to lose even more, but I'm not good at
throwing stuff out.
So how small is really, actually, realistically, bearably, useful?
And how to store them, so they will actually get used, in this
lifetime?
I'm...

Hand sewing thread by
Leslie& The Furbabies in MO.
I just saw a great tip for hand sewing on "Martha's Sewing Room" tv program.
Run the thread thru beeswax and then iron the thread. The heat makes the
beeswax penetrate into the thread and it's not wiped off on the fabric after
a few stitches of the thread are pulled thru the fabric. She also...

OK, so now I want a Trade Mark by
Sartorresartus
I like this idea. Inigo Jones, the famous wood-carver, included a
peapod in every one of his works. There is a famous North Yorkshire
furniture maker called Robert Thompson who has a mouse on all his
pieces. (http://www.robertthompsons.co.uk/)
This is a goer. Now what shall I be? I can add a...

Frank Reid © 2010
Folks,
In the past, I've come to this group for ideas for Christmas for my
bride and projects for my bride and younger daughter to do together.
I hope I've returned in kind, with the Christmas list project,
something you can hand to your spouses/significant others.
I come to you today with...

quilting with cheese by
Jo Gibson[_2_]
I think it must depend on the location i.e., turnover of ingredients.
There's a little out of the way Subway in a small town near us where
we stopped for lunch one day about four years ago. It was lunch time
and we were the only ones in the place, that should have been the
first clue. We...

progress and ponderings by
Karen, Queen of Squishies[_2_]
I'm making good progress on my Downy quilts. I have 2 of their tops and
2 of mine quilted. Need to quilt the last 1 of each, bind them, and sew
their labels on. I *really* want to start cutting up my scraps into
useable squares of whatever sizes. How far do you think I'll get before

I lose! =D by
Mary
I recently de-stashed, and it feels wonderful to have that done!
First, I made some "rag quilts", with 6" blocks and 1" fringes. For
fabric for the rag quilts I used only fabric from my stash --
relatively small amounts, plus some larger pieces that friends have
given me that I knew I would never...

Pictures - at last! by
Sally Swindells
I have struggled away with Picasa and hopefully have managed to download
the pictures of my calendar quilts that go, in rotation, in the window
between my hall and kitchen (so visitors don't die when they see what a
messy cook I am!). They are in the completed 2010 folder, and the
October/Nov....

Quilting anyone? by
Polly Esther[_5_]
The design board here is filled with 30's repro 4-patches and they are just
so dear. Gentle and happy. I've been playing in 'Nickel Quilts' by Pat
Speth and Charlene Thode. Their manner of cutting and stitching are very
good for people who can only stand so much repetition and then they go...

Rant About Making a Hug Quilt by
Tia Mary
I'm probably being petty about this but I need to get it off my
chest!!! Claudia, one of the ladies in my Needlework Group (knit,
crochet, embroider, quilt, etc.) was diagnosed with cancer in the early
spring. At our April meeting (4th Thursday of each month) her best
friend mentioned to a...

future Baltimore quilt! by

I have the fabrics. I have the threads. I have template materials.
I have the book (which I read 3 times.) And now I have 2 photocopies
of each block pattern, but that was a challenge since the office store
folks said they would NOT copy anything in a book. However, I showed
them the special...

I'm Back by
John
After some time away for a bit of a break from quilting, I thought I
would touch base with a few photo's of recent things. I have been
spending a lot of time doing bicycling and letting my quilting rest.
The days are too nice to be stuck inside, and my bicycles were getting
petulant from neglect,...

sad news by
off kilter [email protected]
I wanted to post this, since so many members of this group lovingly
contributed to the family HUGS. A few years ago, we lost our dog
Deanna, due to seizures. We got Brady because the children and I
couldn't live without a dog in our lives. Deanna came to the family
after we had lost one of our...
