I thought that might grab your attention! ;) Alan took me shopping the other day, to Puddleducks in Sevenoaks. It turned into rather an expensive trip! I bought: A BIG box of Big Fat Pins with large yellow heads for use with the kids. They are MUCH better at clearing these evil objects up...

Got an offer yesterday for Quilt magazine. I've never heard of it. Six issues for $10; normally $24. Good price unless it's not any good. Any of y'all familiar with this one? I don't recognize the publisher. I finally quit my decades-long subscription to QNM and am getting something else which...

I've just finished a quilt-to-be-made-into-a-quillow for M-in-law. (Before you think anything, this _was_ supposed to be a Christmas present, but the bears fought back before they would put their paw prints on my quilt! She'll get it for her birsthday in July now, IF all goes well!) I thought I...

Anyone want an envelope full of fabric scraps? These are mostly small tidbits good for applique or miniatures or postage stamps. All were pre-washed before using/cutting up. If so, email me your address. Lynn

My friend Annie made the best fried chicken and one thing I always did wrong was I didn't have my frying pan with the oil hot enough. You need a really hot pain with oil....smokey hot. I was just afraid it might ignite so I never made it. I would use the box that as called oven fry but it...

Great site, but it seems I am only allowed to watch half a video at a time. Have I missed something? Do I need to "join"? I'm going in through aol broadband so there isn't a download limit. Nel (Gadgert Queen) Jan wrote: And I think if you watch the welcome message..... isn't this the lady...

I'm having a problem with my EQ5. I have drawn a block, and yet when I go to color it, the color is going into all the pattern pieces. I tried saving the block, exiting the block and reopening, but EQ5 tells me the "drawing data is inconsistent and one or more patches needs to be closed." I...

So I took what little Christmas money I had and did a bit more shopping than I should have! DH and I decided to take the kids to the toy store to pick out something with their Christmas money. DD picked out another Dora book and a computer game (and she's only 2!). Luckily for me the toy store...

Hello there! My name is Renee and I am a "sometimes" seamstress. Mostly when I have to or when I *really* want to! The kids, homeschooling, animals and DH take most of my time but I am going to try a rag quilt and see how interested I can get my 7 yr old daughter in helping me. I think I will...

Can't remember whomsoever planned on making a Tree Skirt for Christmas 2007.......but here are a few free patterns to choose from. http://www.bomquilts.com/tree_skirts.html HTH Butterfly

Sorry - I know she just posted recently, but didn't save it. I just found a few Hobb's plastic bags with the UPC's attached & want to send them to her. Can someone post her link please? -- Pauline Northern California

For those of you who asked for ugly fabric, the packages are off and flying. According to the good people down at the mail store, the little packages, which are leaving Washington State, USA today and traveling east to Kansas, Britain, The Netherlands and Swedan, should arrive in the next 3 to 7...

Hi! I really really want to attempt to make my FIRST fabric postcard for this GREAT project!! Can someone send me a link or something to show me how to do this? There must be somewhere to find easy patterns/ideas? I'm so excited! Debi "Jan" ...

Thanks, Jan. I hope to do this. This looks like a fun and fulfilling project. I'd like to suggest that while Karey started this project for US Military Members, quilters in other countries may want to make some of these cool postcards for veterans in your own military or veteran...

A friend and I are heading to Naples, Florida next week. We have the first day planned with a stop in Paducah. After spending the night in Clarksville, TN we are looking for places of interest on our way to Lake City, Florida. Any suggestions on places to visit? Quilt shops, museums,...

Hi again!! I am still sorting thorugh the paperwork for taxes - medical, RX, dental, trying to read and understand the new tax laws that went into effect, etc. I am also trying to get DHs paperwork for his next semester filled out and sent back in so that he can start getting his new course...

Hey all, We're looking for article submissions for the new embroidery resource portal page: http://www.embuniverse.com/ If you have a project that you've done that you'd like to describe in detail, or a technique that you use, or any hints or tips, we want to hear about it.

I was visiting in Pensacola over the holidays and found out about a quilt show in Robertsdale, Al. It is February 1, 2 and 3 at the Methodist Church on Highway 59. The flyer says there will be approx. 300 quilts on display and lunch will be available for $5.00. I'm going to try and make it back...
