Dear Karen, Thank you for your note and - I think - thank you also for arranging the package that arrived today. I don't know what type of work you have done in the past but, if timing was important, you must have been a star employee. As it played out: I'm off my meds as of last night and...

Our Internet server crashed last Sunday, and we've been down on and off since then, mostly off. Oh, woe! The site has just been restored Oh, joy! Some of the stories and quilts had to be reposted, but all seems well now. We get used to something working flawlessly for a long time and then we are...

I don't know chinese but a suggestion: Is there a real chinese restaurant near where you live? Someone there may be able to help you. We have 6 or 7 in the Winchester, VA, area, and we are basically a rural area.

Have at last finished the Castle in the Air and the Bird in the Air. I have also redone the first applique block - Folk Feathers. I had started off with the pieced backing and the fabric I used for the applique just didn't sit well with the other blocks. When I compared the two pictures the new one...

That's odd. I posted something about a new project yesterday and i still don't see it Marijke, in Montreal

Do grandpuppies count if I want to be a gramma? Her name is Emma and she's a lovely Boxer, already grown, and smaller than most Boxers. She loves to lay on quilts that I'm working on and looks VERY good in purple. She hardly ever drools, too, which is always a plus in my...

Spam that is! Checked my email this morning and I have a "Nigerian" letter from a man working at Barclays Bank offering a percentage of 12.5 million pounds from a poor gentleman who died in an Alaskan Airlines disaster. Some people really are twits - when will they learn? -- Sharon from...

Most of all he returned with an amazing squishie for me from Susan, for which she, and he, have been profusely thanked. I spent most of yesterday on the floor going "oooooooooh that's pretty ooooooooh I love it". Magnificent Merlot too, thought it was great - he looks gorgeous draped in bright...

Sorting through my bits and pieces I have oddments of plain fabric that I am not sure whether they are 100% cotton or polycotton. They are all pieces I have inherited from my sister, and therefore cannot check with the previous owner. I have tried squeezing them up in my hand but the results...

My DIL wants to do the babies room in Pooh so I thought I would make a diaper bag from a pre-quilted Pooh fabric. Couldn't find any so bought coordinating Pooh fabrics and started to do a cross hatch grid quilting. After 3 rows of stitching, I found a BIG wrinkle so frog stitching started. So now...

Yesterday, while shopping for more clothing fabric at my local Hancock's store, I saw a really cute cat quilt on display. The block was simple, similar to this one I found on the web - http://www.azpatch.com/bom/pp2000/patterns/blackcat.htm but each of the 12 blocks was themed for a different...
