Sigh. My Husqvarna Iris is in the sewing machine hospital right now. Something is wonky with her bobbin. I'll find out tomorrow the prognosis and the cost, but please, spare a thought for poor Iris, all by herself among sewing machines and sergers she's never met before. She had only just begun...

Check out: hs1733 which is the quilt on: http://www.amishcountrylanes.com/IEversion.shtml?index It is gorgeous!

The double by-pass surgery went well. They are keeping her in a drug induced coma for about 3 hours to make sure there is no bleeding. They don't want her to wake up and have to be put back under if they need to go back in. Thanks for all the prayers and...

DMIL had a serious heart attack yesterday and one during the night. She was flown to the nearest medical center and is scheduled for open heart surgery tomorrow. She is 84. DH is gathering things together and will be leaving here this...

A while back one of our threads forked off to favorite books. I can't remember which newsgroup it was in so I'm cross posting to cover all bases. Somebody mentioned an author who was solving mysteries while dragging her sewing machines around with her, or something like that. I actually did write...

Sunday night I finished another quilt, and today I took pics and put them on my site at http://home.earthlink.net/~sfoster1/sampler.html (at the bottom of the page). This is one that started out to be a block challenge in the online francophone group I belong to, but it became something of a...

Hullo everyone Some of you will have noticed references, over the past couple of years!, to a set of mathematical quilts I have been making. I have had some great encouragement from here and I now want to share with you my delight that it is all done. I delivered the quilts to the organisers of...

It was a bit over a week ago I took a self-imposed time off to try and deal with stuff in my life. I just wanted to stop in and say "hi" before disappearing again. I'm about to put the label on the anniversary quilt. Thankfully there wasn't much to finish up and I have been able to whip stitch...

Hi all, Today I went with my not yet 2 year old to the local fabric shop to pick up some polycotton to finish off cushion covers. They don't have a massive selection of quilting fabric, but there was a nice pack of brightly coloured plains that I thought would be perfect for a quilt for the baby...

I just finished a couple little fabric bowls using the new double sided adhesive "firm flex"...much like Timtex. Love the stuff! It has a much more uniform thickness which makes for less wrinkling in the bowls. I made one bowl from Valentine fabrics in which I will put heart candy for a friend's...

There's a large red topped table in the middle of the kitchen, but Granny and I have our backs to it. We are sirring a thick sided pot on the Raeburn fast hotplate, faces scarlet and dripping, smiles wide, fingers toasted... We are making tablet, and I am standing on a low stool, being not quite...

It was my birthday on Friday and my DH has surprised me with a trip to Edinburgh. We are flying up on Thursday for a long weekend so I need to know if there are any LQS's worth visiting. We will be staying very central ( Princes Street) and we wont have a car....... TIA Flossy Malvern...

I recently purchased a Little Gracie quilting machine. I'm looking for a good sewing machine to use with it, preferably one with a long throat and not too expensive. The one's I've found all cost $800.00 plus. Peggy

Kate - aren't they fun & quick & easy? I just made a box from the new book - much more time consuming, but equally fun to make. Pauline "Kate Dicey" wrote in message ... I just did the first one in the...

greetings, Does anyone know if there is a quilting swap going on now? Thanks. jenny
