I haven't even sewn but a few seams and already this project has taught me more than I've learned in several years of quilting. Oh my goodness. I knew I was setting a challenge for myself, but I thought parts would be simple. I assumed the only thing I needed to do for the sky was find the...

for this week. http://community.webshots.com/photo/551722778/2856187290053386571LhYDja# -- Mary http://community.webshots.com/user/mardor1948

Hi fellow quilt lovers, I need help and/or advice about irons. Every iron I have had in the past few years hasn't lasted more than 6-9 months no matter what brand or how much I paid for it. I currently have a Rowenta that I bought around Christmas last year and it has begun to spit. I mean really...

I have not been on the news group for (literally) years. My user name was Theresa and/or I am trying to get ahold of Tigr, and I am hoping that someone has her current email or phone number. Thanks for any help you can give.

I've found and fallen for some tiny little white seed beads that are striped! Some are red and white, some green and white, and some white with red and green. They look like Christmas candy! I'd love to put some in projects, but they come in hanks of 4,000. Anybody want to go in on a bunch...

Today is the once a month routine IV therapy that I have to have and all the plans I had to be able to stitch went out the window today. I thought I would be able to sit back and tie the crazy quilt but that hasn't happened. Every time I went to give a good tug on the ribbons to pull them...

Hi all. I've been trying to post with Google and have not had success! If this makes it does anyone have a better suggestion than Google? My ISP does not provide a news server. Marilyn in sunny Alberta

I have no clue who you are -- the post mark is incomplete -- so can't even go there. But I LOVE the blue fabric! You made my day! Thanks much! Kate in MI

Today I met a male quilter. He is an electrician working at our "so new it's not open for business yet" Walmart. He makes quilts for Christmas presents for some of his family members every year. He really didn't look like a quilter--30 something, spikey hair, black rocker t-shirt, no thread bits...

Ok, a couple of you suggested I post pics of my very, very, very unfinished and still in progress Red project. It's rough, guys. I have never attempted anything like this before and I'm really not sure how it will turn out. But I'm having more fun that I've ever had on a project before. This is...

Wanted: A computer that breaks down less often than I do. I got a new computer 2 and a half weeks ago. Its power supply went kerphlooey Tuesday morning. They're making good on it and sending a tech over to our house to install a new power supply.

This time from our own Carol Doak who somehow managed to not only be away when I placed my order but also to add a personalised autograph to my books *and* get them here in a weeks time! WOW! she was also kind enough to add a signed card to assist in the trimming in the package too! Wonderful :-)...

After seeing the antique quilt display at the local APWN, I am trying to make an album of all the ones I have, their pattern, where I bought them, how much I paid, and how I have restored them (if needed) or plan to. Maybe you guys can help with with naming a few patterns/estimated ages? Here...

I finished the dresden plate quilt top. photos will be uploaded later this week... I plan to handquilt it this winter. so now on to my next rescue quilt. this one was given to me by the previous owner of the house we bought last summer when she saw me cringing as I noticed it was being going to...

My husband is always commenting on the the cute frogs that live in our vegetable garden. I thought I would make him a small lap/nap quilt with some frogs on it. I am in the pattern collecting stage right now, so if you know of any cute frog patterns online, please let me know. I may add some...

This week, DH and I have been wallpapering a tiny bathroom. There is not one window, door, light switch or corner in that room that is true, level and square. Before we were half begun, both of us made the movie 'Grumpy Old Men' look like a picnic. In the middle of wallpaper glue dripping...

Thank you Anonymous Squisher near Pocatello, Idaho for my birthday squishee! I love the colors - can't wait to figure out what I'm going to do with it - but it'll be bright & fun. Today, I had a birthday lunch with one of my small quilt groups & my birthday isn't for 2 more weeks yet, so I'm going...
