Doing a happy dance here....it's raining! Our lawns are brown and crispy and maybe this is too late for them to green up before the snow flies....but I can hope! oooohhhh there was some thunder! Yea! Happy dancing in Iowa!

I've never done any appliqué, but I'm making DH a WUH for his birthday (SHH! It's a secret!) and I think a few leaves blowing around the patchwork squirrels would be good. I happen to have a print with oak leaves and acorns on it, so today I bought some Wonderunder which I have never used. The...

Has anyone made the Centennial Sampler Quilt by Judie Rothermel, owner of Schoolhouse Quilts? I have owned the kit since the Rosemont Show in 2004 but haven't had the nerve to start it. Th blocks are 4" finish so it is similar to the Dear Jane quilts but the setting is calmer and more to my...

I'm trying to do some free motion quilting on my Brother ULT 2002D. I have dropped my feed dogs, the embroidery foot is on the machine, I'm using a 90/14 Singer needle. I'm using the larger needle because I'm quilting through fused fabrics.. I'm using quilting thread on the top and...

I caught a bit on TV today about deterring deer from eating flowers/gardens. The "expert" was the state horticulturist from Maryland.. I think he said he beat 4 eggs in 1 gallon of water and sprayed around the plants and found the deer stayed away. Wish I knew the name of the show. But maybe...

I recently purchased a pattern book to make a quilt for my niece - she helped me pick it out. I am very excited about the pattern - it is a stack-n-whack type thing - but instead of all the crazy angles - it squares off the stack-n-whack part and uses it as the middle of a sawtooth star. seems...

..........I have seriously slowed down this weekend. I think all that got finished was a dress for rebekah (was cut out a while ago) and a whole-cloth-type of quilt for Rebekah that coordinates with her new decor. I am finally exhausted and ready for this to be over, and I htink I only have 2...

Yahoo!!! I've finished all my 20 VW Bug blocks and spread them out on a sheet on the living room floor (the only floor big enough in the house .... my sewing room is the kitchen table). I cut strips for the sashing in-between and put those all in place (it's black with green stars) and things were...

My mom died last week and we are having to clear out her apartment. I cannot believe how much stuff you can get into a 1 bedroom apartment :). One of the things that no one in the family wants is a Bernina 710 in a cabinet that was purchased in May 1967. How can I find out approximately what the...

Thank you for all of your prayers. My niece, Ellie, went into labor on Monday--11 weeks early. Baby Calla Noelle was born this morning by C-Section and weighed in at a whopping 3 pounds. Mom is doing great although upset that she has not been able to see the baby. (She can watch her on...

I was reading another newsgroup that is more of a chat. One gal I've known for years said she was finishing a king size quilt. And machine quilting it. Well, I had never heard of her doing any quilting tho she does a lot of sewing and makes dolls, so I kept quiet and just kept reading. ...

Each block was stitched with love, and all for me!!! The wonderful members of this swap did a fantastic job making these blocks, and I have finally completed the quilt. I would like to thank the members of the birthday swap for their creativity & talent. I love each block so much!!! Please take a...

I just got an e-mail from Rozemaryn Van der Horst who is running the Kona Coffee Quilt contest, and the letter states that Amy & My quilt entry has been selected to hang at the Kona Coffee quilt show in November. I believe they are selecting 50 quilts to hang at the show & then they will be...
