I'm having so much fun spending money getting ready for my quilting seminar. I just happened to come into $400 and it was burning a hole in my pocket, so I bought a Fiskars Tote with my 40% off Joann's coupon. It's about the size of a small suitcase and it's really trick. Inside there is a unit...

Here is the list of the packages I was able to mail out: Gen - postage $1.98 Butterfly - postage $5.75 Nancy - postage $5.75 Natalie S. - postage $8.55 All were sent priority, so I hope that you get them no later than Monday. For the remaing 3 adopters, I am hoping to get your boxes out this...

Hi All: I ran across an interesting on-line store today. It's: http://www.createforless.com/ They have some great prices on quilting notions. It's kind of weird though. Sometimes you have to buy a minimum of three to get something. But, the prices are so good, it's ok on things you...

the WIP folder at webshots. I've had to rip at least one seam on every one of the three jigsaw puzzle quilts. Someday I might get it right. g -- Mary http://community.webshots.com/user/mardor1948

When doing alphabet blocks, I can't make the set of 26 come out even. No matter how hard I try, I end up with one left or one blank space. I even tried figuring out how to make the blocks with alternating blocks, no luck. I've already got the ABC blocks, so I can't combine two at the end. ...

Hi Everyone I've been trying to find the website that posted the round robins that we did in 2002, remember with the one with the guys? Is it still up and running? With getting my new hard drive I lost a lot of things and this is one that I'm looking for, Thanks, --

Hullo all I mentioned that I would post the result of my experiment with Press and Seal. It happened sooner than I had anticipated g. This morning I settled down to quilt my current piece. When quilting motifs, I usually use freezer paper and quilt round a template. This morning the FP would...

Maybe I am missing the point here, : When appliqueing, do I put the bumpy side of the wonderunder towards the wrong side of the fabric, lay the smooth side of the fusible on the teflon sheet, then the wrong side of the fabric, then put a pressing cloth on top, then the heated iron on top of that...

Has anyone here had a class with Cynthia England? Please share any comments you may have about her and the her teaching and the class. Simply Quilts episode #655 aired in September 2003 and on it, C. England showed her picture piecing technique. I would be more than happily willing to pay for /...

Here are a few questions; prolly discussed before but heck, someone may have missed it :-) What is the minimum size you keep? What do you do with the bits that are smaller than the above size? What do you do with the keepers? What do you do with your selvage strips? I have taken to using them...

Can someone suggest what the best time would be to visit Kentucky to see the big quilt exhibit there ... we'll be celebrating our 25th anniversary this September so are making plans to visit one of our most favourite places. Also I'd like to know what the best quilt shops around there are,...

Some people told me back in January that they wanted to see the wallhanging I made after Rox died so I finally have a photo of it in my photo album. It's the first in Rox's album at http://photos.yahoo.com/sesesi I think it turned out very well. Marijke

My mother in law passed away 2 weeks ago and now we have to empty a large home full of furniture and other items. Some are old and we don't have any idea of prices for items. One of the other problems is that the house is in a gated community with lots of rules including one that only allows for a...

I helped hang the quilts yesterday for the big quilt show this week end in Rosemont, Illinois (Chicago area near OHare airport) Anyone within driving distance should make sure you get there this week end. 850 vendors- - - need I say more? Quilts are nice, too! They have promised to have things...

I have nice shears; I even have left handed pruning shears. But.. I can't find good left handed scissors for "craft"... like cutting lots of freezer paper or wonder under shapes. Very much of it & I lose the feeling in my thumb from the pressing into it to get the blades to push against...

I sent off a couple pair of scissors to Gingher to have them reconditioned a couple of weeks ago. Got them back yesterday and they are like new! Well worth the $7.50 a pair. If you have any Ginghers that are not as great as they used to be you will really appreciate the difference. Just go to...

Hey all. Been lurking awhile, and posted a few.... Was waiting for the news about the directory, which I read in the FAQ's comes out once a year. How do I sign up? Would love to get in on some of the fun ;-) Lisa C. (in NJ just like Bonnie)
