So, into the store Bert and I walked and the one lady from the other night greeted me very warmly, as did the two other workers, and the second lady from the other night was busy. But, the first lady remembered that I had been in buying reds for "the neatest project" and came right over to...

Boo, hoo!! This is one of those things I've decided to drop since my income is dropping and I still have medical bills to pay from January. Had to make some hard decisions. As of tomorrow I will be RETIRED!! (No this is not an April Fool's joke.) Maybe next year -- as I see how the budget...

After about two years of neglecting my quilting, I'm back to it! since we bought our house and moved in October (our very first home of our own!) I have actually had more time in the day. We got rid of a LOT of stuff in the move, and the result was less to take care of, a more organized...

I have just receive a call from Abigail (one of my granddaughters) telling me her beautiful quilt has arrived at her home in CT. She is a college student and she has waited and waited for this day. Even though the temps in CT aren't right for a quilt she and my daughter Christine were curled up...

My mother, daughters and I have made it sort of a tradition to "do" garage sales in the wee hours of the morning. I shop mostly for clothing - for the girls. Today I happened upon a really cool thing :) I found a quilt hanger - not sure what else to call it. It is very long and has little knobs...

I did too want to make the queen size quilt. I did. Only....only after I began and I saw what it looked like, I had some doubts. Oh, all right, I had more than a few doubts, but I plunged ahead. Oh, well, it kept my mind off the election and Popser had something to write about. Joan Story #251:...

I too went to the Houston show met several RCTQers for lunch on Friday and also on Saturday. I totally enjoyed my face to face visit with Rusty what a wonderful lady. It was good to see the gang again Susan & Don, Pat, Frood and Sandy and the rest of you ladies. I did volunteer hours this year as a...

Can anyone recommend a good fat quarter quilting book? I have several bunches of matching fat quarters and think I could make a nice quilt out of each, but I'm too lazy this close to Christmas to design them myself. Thanks! Boca Jan

The minkee arrived a few minutes ago. It's purple, very plushy like a super velvet, very soft, very drapey. I only took it out of the box to look at it and I'm covered with little shreds of purple. The back is a slippery acetate, I think. I can't imagine using this as a quilt backing. There are...

I wanted to thank everyone who can sent me their scraps and unwanted fabrics. Because of you, I was able to provide over 100 small quilts to homeless dogs, cats and even rabbits at several rescues this weekend. You all should be proud of yourselves for helping to make so many rescued animals a...

Adorable and inspirational. Thanks! Yvette "Anne" wrote in message ... DD#2 just sent me this URL. I'd like to say she is a chip off the old block, but I think she has surpassed ole' Mom's quilting already. This ...

Found a lovely yellow with blue posies fabric in my mailbox today. Thanks Lorraine. I'd just gotten back from a visit to TSWLTH with a friend to get some stuff to go with a baby quilt I have in process. I, of course, ended up with enough to make several baby quilts plus a full-size one. Used...

For 6 years, Jim and I have been enjoying theatrical productions at a local community theater. These are amateur performances with professional quality, all volunteer run. The theater needs a new roof. They're fundraising. They've asked for donations for a fund raising auction. The information...

Anyone going to be there? I'll be there from 10 am - 4pm on Saturday, June 26, with the rest of the Project Linus coordinators that are attending our PL National Conference that week. I'd love to meet up with any of you who will be there that day. -- Donna in Idaho Project Linus Boise/SW Idaho...

Has anyone done the Judy's Fancy pattern before? Is it safe to cut all the pieces before I start sewing? It's my tendency to do so, but then, I've never made a quilt from a pattern before. I just sort of wing it. But this one is different. Thanks! Karen, Queen of...

Howdy! What a guy, what a bike ride. Win #5 for Lance Armstrong. He's from Texas, you know. g Ragmop/Sandy--who did quilt while watching Mr.Armstrong ride
