OT - Long - Report on the fun I have been having for a couple ofmonths. by Rita L. in MA[_2_]
Hi All, First, my apologies to those of you who have heard a lot of this already. You may delete or read on and be bored. The choice is yours :-) Back in the beginning of May a CT scan confirmed what I had suspected. The drug I was taking had stopped working. Dr. D and a doctor at Mass....

Scraplique? by [email protected]
I saw Jane Townswick's "Artful Applique II: Introducing Scraplique and 12 New Floral Designs" on Amazon.com. If anyone is familiar with this book, would you please comment on that technique and whether the book is worth getting? It is not available in my local library system. Thanks, Bev in TX

new family member by off kilter [email protected]
so....the kids and I were pretty down this weekend....we all miss Nugget, even though he really didn't love any of us, just tolerated us. Hubby said we could get a new feline family member today, so kids and I went to SPCA when it opened and gave a look. The deal was that they had to agree on...

I lose! =D by Sartorresartus
If the person with the largest stash when she dies, wins, I lose! I lose big style. I want to lose even more, but I'm not good at throwing stuff out. So how small is really, actually, realistically, bearably, useful? And how to store them, so they will actually get used, in this lifetime? I'm...

Hand sewing thread by Leslie& The Furbabies in MO.
I just saw a great tip for hand sewing on "Martha's Sewing Room" tv program. Run the thread thru beeswax and then iron the thread. The heat makes the beeswax penetrate into the thread and it's not wiped off on the fabric after a few stitches of the thread are pulled thru the fabric. She also...

OK, so now I want a Trade Mark by Sartorresartus
I like this idea. Inigo Jones, the famous wood-carver, included a peapod in every one of his works. There is a famous North Yorkshire furniture maker called Robert Thompson who has a mouse on all his pieces. (http://www.robertthompsons.co.uk/) This is a goer. Now what shall I be? I can add a...

Needs some help by Frank Reid © 2010
Folks, In the past, I've come to this group for ideas for Christmas for my bride and projects for my bride and younger daughter to do together. I hope I've returned in kind, with the Christmas list project, something you can hand to your spouses/significant others. I come to you today with...

quilting with cheese by Jo Gibson[_2_]
I think it must depend on the location i.e., turnover of ingredients. There's a little out of the way Subway in a small town near us where we stopped for lunch one day about four years ago. It was lunch time and we were the only ones in the place, that should have been the first clue. We...

progress and ponderings by Karen, Queen of Squishies[_2_]
I'm making good progress on my Downy quilts. I have 2 of their tops and 2 of mine quilted. Need to quilt the last 1 of each, bind them, and sew their labels on. I *really* want to start cutting up my scraps into useable squares of whatever sizes. How far do you think I'll get before I just...

I lose! =D by Mary
I recently de-stashed, and it feels wonderful to have that done! First, I made some "rag quilts", with 6" blocks and 1" fringes. For fabric for the rag quilts I used only fabric from my stash -- relatively small amounts, plus some larger pieces that friends have given me that I knew I would never...

Pictures - at last! by Sally Swindells
I have struggled away with Picasa and hopefully have managed to download the pictures of my calendar quilts that go, in rotation, in the window between my hall and kitchen (so visitors don't die when they see what a messy cook I am!). They are in the completed 2010 folder, and the October/Nov....

Quilting anyone? by Polly Esther[_5_]
The design board here is filled with 30's repro 4-patches and they are just so dear. Gentle and happy. I've been playing in 'Nickel Quilts' by Pat Speth and Charlene Thode. Their manner of cutting and stitching are very good for people who can only stand so much repetition and then they go...

Rant About Making a Hug Quilt by Tia Mary
I'm probably being petty about this but I need to get it off my chest!!! Claudia, one of the ladies in my Needlework Group (knit, crochet, embroider, quilt, etc.) was diagnosed with cancer in the early spring. At our April meeting (4th Thursday of each month) her best friend mentioned to a...

future Baltimore quilt! by Mary
I have the fabrics. I have the threads. I have template materials. I have the book (which I read 3 times.) And now I have 2 photocopies of each block pattern, but that was a challenge since the office store folks said they would NOT copy anything in a book. However, I showed them the special...

I'm Back by John
After some time away for a bit of a break from quilting, I thought I would touch base with a few photo's of recent things. I have been spending a lot of time doing bicycling and letting my quilting rest. The days are too nice to be stuck inside, and my bicycles were getting petulant from neglect,...

sad news by off kilter [email protected]
I wanted to post this, since so many members of this group lovingly contributed to the family HUGS. A few years ago, we lost our dog Deanna, due to seizures. We got Brady because the children and I couldn't live without a dog in our lives. Deanna came to the family after we had lost one of our...
