Well, I think I've passed a milestone and I don't believe it's a good one. I bought my first BOLT of fabric. True, it WAS at Wal-Mart, but it's a really nice piece of material, and it's in my very favorite color of soft yellow. AND it was only $1/yard. But the point is, there was over 8 yards on...

Like many quilters, I love batiks. I used to have a large selection but it's been whittled down. Now that I'm starting a new project, I decided that I wanted to do it in blue batiks as my focus colour so I went to an LQS to buy some extra blues for my stash. The selection is lovely and I bought 6...

With a whole lotta help from LeeAnn Rimes, SheDaisy, Debbie Gibson (there's no accounting for musical taste) and Travis Tritt (just what *was* his momma thinkin'??), one and a half *large * spools of Gutermann 828, countless needles and pins, and some Jamaican Gold Dark Chocolate (thanks Sally!)...

I finished a wallhanging recently, and I finally got around to taking pictures of it. It's 3 panels of sunflowers that are embellished with yarn "lace" centers, thread painting with metalic threads, and lots and lots o' beads. I can honestly say I was tired of beading when I got finished with it....

Her grandmother and I are internet buddies. You never know if someone might see her. Thanks, Michele from Ohio http://www.kpho.com/

I finally got pix of James's quilt on the web site: look in Teaching James to Sew in the Learning Zone, and in the quilt Gallery, where there are also pix of my Cracked Ice quilt completed (at last! - the pix, I mean, as the quilt has been finished for aaaaages!), and of a couple of WIP's. -- Kate ...

Joshua took a summer quilting camp, and he just finished his project, a Spiderman quilt. His pictures can be found in his own gallery: http://gallery.ppwp.com/gallery/joshuasewingclass The first quilt pictured is his latest one. This quilt has a flannel backing & is tied.

Do not use that thingy I worked up. It was predicated, as it turns out, on an inaccurate ruler. sigh Corrected version coming in a few days.... --pig --

Let's say a guy named Fred is attracted to a woman named Martha. He asks her out to a movie; she accepts; they have a pretty good time. A few nights later he asks her out to dinner, and again they enjoy themselves. They continue to see each other regularly, and after a while neither one of them is...

Okay...would whoever out there is praying for patience for me please STOP now! Yikes! If anything could go wrong uploading this month's site updates, it did. But, we're delighted to let you know that the Sampler of Psalms block for August is available at http://members.shaw.ca/kigraham, along...

My best friend Debbie was taken to hospital this morning after the ladder she was on broke and she fell onto it, initial reports say that she has broken her back but that the spinal cord has not been severed... we'll know more after the CAT scan tomorrow morning. Debs is recently divorced and...

Quite a wile ago, someone posted about a favorite fabric for backgrounds of applique blocks. It was a nice quality fabric, probably an off white or cream. Does anyone have a suggestion about this fabric? Thanks bunches. PAT in VA/USA

My LQS is under new management and has been closed during refitting. I went along today so see how things have changed. There's a lot more fabric, things have moved around a bit, other than that it seemed mostly the same, which is good because I liked it before.. The old owner was very nice, but...

Most of you know I do a lot of Lakota star type quilts (eight pointed), and I was poking around online tonight trying to find out if anyone had something on how to tell how large your star was going to end up based on the dimension of your diamond components (being too lazy to go dig thru...

This is your last reminder about the Yellow Charm Swap. :) If you haven't started cutting, now is the time! Remember, your yellow charms need to be IN MY HANDS by Tuesday, Aug 23. And if you've been meaning to sign up and haven't gotten around to it, you still have time, but you need to sign up...

I've had this thought roaming around in my head for a few months now and am wondering if it's feasible. My mother came to visit in March and I have a picture of her and my son at the airport. She's holding him and they both look just thrilled. I was thinking of making the picture bigger and...

I caught a bit on TV today about deterring deer from eating flowers/gardens. The "expert" was the state horticulturist from Maryland.. I think he said he beat 4 eggs in 1 gallon of water and sprayed around the plants and found the deer stayed away. Wish I knew the name of the show. But maybe...

I recently purchased a pattern book to make a quilt for my niece - she helped me pick it out. I am very excited about the pattern - it is a stack-n-whack type thing - but instead of all the crazy angles - it squares off the stack-n-whack part and uses it as the middle of a sawtooth star. seems...
