It is so quiet here. I guess everyone is too busy quilting to post. That is commendable, but I am shocked you haven't said a peep for at least 13 hours! Wow. I did some sewing today .... finally.

Does anyone know if there are any printable coupons for Joann's. I have been on their website and they have on-line coupons. I am going this Friday and I know there are some good sales happening.....but thought if there was a coupon I'd print it and take it along with me. Thanks, Lorraine

I'm looking for hand sewing needles. What I like to work with are longer, skinny needles. I'm looking for a brand that will glide through fabric like a hot knife through butter. Gold eyes, or larger eyes would be wonderful, seein' as how my eyes aren't what they used to be. Anyone have a "favorite"...

I just received my first (ever) order from Big Horn Quilts. Goodness me, I"m thrilled with the quality of the fabric!! I've never ordered fabric online before as I'm one of those that simply likes to fondle the fabric, up close and personal. But I fell in love with some fabric they had, ordered it...

Starting in January the quilt shop owner wants me to lead a 12 month sampler block club using "Teach Yourself Blocks from the Past'' by Marie Henry. It was published by Leisure Arts in 2001. So far I have made the first nine blocks. The instructions are clear, there is a good photograph of each...
