Well I guess I should give an update considering I've commenting again. I've managed to make a few sets of pot holders. But my main focus right now is making a blue jean quilt. It will be a wedding gift and the wedding is Sept 5. So I really need to work hard to get this done. But as a back up...

I've not been on here for a while, partly that was rejigging things on my computer, then other things kept me away. I received a hug quilt from this group just before Christmas last year, I had a nightmare with post partum depression and at times the included me posting stuff on this group that...

Haven't posted in a while how's everybody doing here. Have posted some new items on my webshots. http://www.community.webshots.com/user/dreamboat116 dreamboat

Megwen and I have been planning a day/afternoon together since I moved to my new place here (she was going to come by train). So, it came as a bit of a surprise - but not so very huge - when she e-mailed to say that she and her DH were going to be coming this way today, and would I be in for...

She is doing much better! 2nd day of swimming lessons was fine as she and her brother are now in the same class. She is no longer baby- talking, and said she isn't really having headaches now - only when she bumps it....see, clumsiness gene. SO, thank you for all your good thoughts and prayers,...

Here is something I whipped up out of left over squares from some Veterans Quilts I have been doing for awhile. I gave it to my wife for taking to her D.A.R. meetings. The Ladies should be drooling all over it, as they love those patriotic type of things. I just hope she doesn't come back with an...

For all the complaining I did a week ago, thought I'd share the correspondence I got from F&P regarding the stuck-together rotary blades. I have no idea the reason behind the change of heart. (Do they read this group? grin) Funny though, that a week ago their stand was pretty much "Slide...

does anyone know how to access this newsgroup on an Ipad?

So DD3 requested of me today that I make the "Almond thingies with the chocolate stuff". Because I am a cross between a complete fussbudget and a total slacker when it comes to cooking, I will make them tomorrow. That gives my egg whites time to age properly. No really, this comes out much...

Susan Price and her husband came out to So CA for a family wedding. They then began their trek down to San Diego. On the way down,they stopped in Laguna Hills and we met up at A Time to Sew. She arrived before I did, and my girlfriend called while I was on my way over (yes, I was using my...

I went to a small local quilt show today - Some lovely quilts, but they mainly seemed to be of the 'Art' variety. I hadn't taken a camera and as they charged £2 a photo I felt that a camera wouldn't have been welcome anyway. One quilt really stole my heart as I came round a corner. 10 blocks...

This evening I had dinner with Susan Laity Price. She and her DH are out here on vacation/family wedding! Sunday they will be heading down towards San Diego for a few days, then back to Long Beach to the quilt show on Thurs night. And back home on Illinois. It was so much fun to meet up with...

I've been perfecting (?) making chenille bees to put on a crib quilt. When I started to tell our group about my discoveries, I realized you are missing. How can I explain what I'm doing to anybody that doesn't know what making chenille appliqué is? Where are you, Jeanne? Polly

Earlier this spring, I made a table runner for a shower gift. Photos at http://tinyurl.com/24242nt and http://tinyurl.com/2d73q96 (or http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/photo.php?pid=31096683&id=1097952730 and...

I bought the 3 pack of rotary blades (again). These were so stuck together they were impossible to separate. I tried using two hemostats after trying to slide them apart didn't work.I tried to wedge another blade between them. That didn't work. I really didn't want to end up telling this story in...

Hi Guys, I just posted a photo (not a very good one) of that Hug I was ranting about -- the one I did for the friend in my Needlework Group who has cancer. Our camera went T.U. and I had a friend take the photo with her camera. Seen better photos but it's better than nothing until I get a...

Sometimes when I need a break and you folks are doing okay without my senile supervision, I go see what's going on over at alt.sewing. Tonight, someone there asked about how to take a t-shirt and change it into a baby romper. It never crossed my mind that such a thing was possible. A...
