I want to make a quilt for a friend of mine. It is going to be a wilderness scene, since that is his passion (apart from his wife and kids of course). I was going to call it Wilderness Kid. Now the other day in the LQS I saw (and bought) the perfect Party fabric, which I just knew right there I...

We got moussaka at a Greek restaurant tonight. It struck me as traditional and wonderful. I wondered why I never make it at home when I like it so much and realized that it is because it uses so many pots and pans. I need one for the tomato sauce, bechemel sauce, browned burger, softened...

Here are some pictures of my quilt blocks (heart design) that I've been posting about. Let me know what you think. Sindir http://f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/utmomx1 Then go to quilting.

Do a a happy dance for me! I have been sewing again, and I need all the encouragement I can get! I have a 2 day course that I might be teaching in December - Family learning, so adults & their kids doing it together, which is fun! :) My course is called Christmas Sparkle, and we will be making...

Does anyone know where I can find instructions for the heart block shown on this website (http://www.quilt-design.com/BOM/patdec982.htm)? I would love to use it for my parents quilt, but I don't want 2" blocks, I would like to make them 6" blocks. Sindir

Hi there folks. I just go back from being away from my home for a couple of days. I am so glad I have a home to come to! In town here there are well over 200 homes gone. We are talking about in town! Some houses that survived other bad fires over the years are gone. I am not far from where the...

TerriLee, you have a new title. We took you up on your suggestion, and you have been nominated, approved, and appointed as "TerriLee, Virtual Gypsy". By virtue of your wandering mind, you understand. Do you accept? Karen, Queen of Squishies unofficial spokesperson for the TerriLee For Virtual...

I met up with Joyce in Washington today...I'll let her tell you most of it, but i do have pix up on my website if you want to see. I dutifully delivered the hug to her, and she was a tiny bit teary, i think. We had a good time chatting and talking, and will definitely be getting together again. ...

Last week I posted my problems with MQ doing free motion quilting. The top thread kept breaking. I tried changing the thread to one I knew was higher quality, and slowed down around the curves, and still I was getting broken top threads. Changing the needle to a new one did nothing. I cleaned...

Well, I did it! Sent the previous message without the link- must be the time zone messing with my mind! Here it is- http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/features/columns/Default.aspx?article=daylig htsavingtime SueS

DH and I are off to Melbourne, FL on Thursday to see the adorable grandchildren. We will get there on Friday afternoon so we can go Trick or Treating with them. We don't know when we are coming home. We will leave Melbourne on Monday, but we plan to take a while coming home. Anything that we...

The world is conspireing to drive me batty! OK, short drive, but I rather cling to my few remaining shreds of sanity. I was doing the zipper in DD's Halloween costume. Our Ash had already driven me right to the edge by constantly climbing up on the table and wallowing in his still unfinished quilt...

Hi Joan, Did you find the swatch you were looking for on the new CranstonVillage.com site! I love it!!!! B/R Mary
