My mother, daughters and I have made it sort of a tradition to "do" garage sales in the wee hours of the morning. I shop mostly for clothing - for the girls. Today I happened upon a really cool thing :) I found a quilt hanger - not sure what else to call it. It is very long and has little knobs...

I took a class in invisible machine applique this afternoon - I think it may be addictive :-) I really enjoyed it..The teacher was very good and she chose a very simple tulip applique. I am really excited to try something else. Sharon in Montreal

Thank you thank you thank you!! I was able to educate DS on the differences between US Cadbury and overseas Cadbury - told him the US stuff sucks, and to always try to get some from either Australia or the UK grin. Needless to say, he only had a tiny little bit and was back asking for more. ...

How lovely! Lucky Aunt Rosie! --Heidi Plattsburgh (UPstate) NY http://community.webshots.com/user/rabbit2b ===

And well she should, it's very lovely! Karen, Queen of Squishies .....was finally delivered! We got a nice enough weekend day last Saturday to make the trip. My dear Aunt Rosie loved it. Here it is if you would like a peek:

I have been looking around at yardsales lately. I decided to step in to an estate sale and I found a Singer 319W there. I paid $55 for the machine, a table, and quite a few accessories. The table is not original to the machine (I don't think- but I'm not an expert.) She needs to be cleaned up. ...

I bought a bolt (not a full bolt) of BCA fabric, and lots of swappers offered to make blocks so we can make a quilt, that can be auctioned off for breast cancer research....I got so many blocks, enough to make TWO quilts. Well, I just finished up quilt top number one, and will be working on...

All the auto manufacturers are offering new car buyers their "employee discount" on their television commercials. I just got an email from Joann Fabrics telling me I can get *their* employee discount of 15% off. Sheesh! I'd much rather have a new pick-up truck! Leslie & The Furbabies in MO.

I did too want to make the queen size quilt. I did. Only....only after I began and I saw what it looked like, I had some doubts. Oh, all right, I had more than a few doubts, but I plunged ahead. Oh, well, it kept my mind off the election and Popser had something to write about. Joan Story #251:...

I too went to the Houston show met several RCTQers for lunch on Friday and also on Saturday. I totally enjoyed my face to face visit with Rusty what a wonderful lady. It was good to see the gang again Susan & Don, Pat, Frood and Sandy and the rest of you ladies. I did volunteer hours this year as a...

Can anyone recommend a good fat quarter quilting book? I have several bunches of matching fat quarters and think I could make a nice quilt out of each, but I'm too lazy this close to Christmas to design them myself. Thanks! Boca Jan

Dear Gator's. I am sending you a new VAMPIRE to eat and I want you to mince them finely before scarfing. Seems like they MESSED up the blood I gave on Mon. So Thurs, I tentatively have to go back for another poke. My Fam Dr has heard about this tomorrow. Whole reason I was seeing him tomorrow was...

I've a notion to make my mom a quilt. I know that this is a hazard, being as how she generally has always felt about homemade, but there you go. I was thinking of a Path Through Jerusalem quilt, problem being that I haven't seen one for at least 20 years, though I saw several as a kid traveling...

Now to get them quilted. Pictures of Bella's Butterflies and Iris are uploaded. http://community.webshots.com/album/348519420svowpw -- Mary http://community.webshots.com/user/mardor1948

Remember that Jinny Beyer quilt ("Mayflowers") that I was trying to figure out the angles? The one that's $172 in a kit? Well, you can't buy the pattern online (they said they're working on getting patterns onto their website), but you CAN order just the pattern by phone. I called the toll-free...
