Are there any quilt shops near Mitchell, S.D.? My DH is going there on business in September and would be willing to add to my stash while he is there!! -- Donna in NE La.

There was a Sundance Celebration (Native American) near us this past week. At the end, was a wedding. The bridal couple and many family members stayed at the motel my DH and I manage. This evening the couple brought in their wedding quilt for me to see. She started piecing it about a year ago...

Hi, I'm looking for a penpal, well, not for me, but for a member of a German online quilting group. Maybe someone here is interested ? She would like to practice her English with a friendly quilter, so I think this is the right place to find one g She's 52, has 2 daughters, is part time working,...

I can't remember if I heard about this program here on RCTQ, but I signed up for it and it sounds pretty cool. http://www.thekansascitystore.com/ProductDetail.cfm?PID=818 Cindy

Friday morning, very early, I developed cellulitis in my surgery leg. There was some concern by the ER doctor that the infection might travel to my new hip prosthesis, so I spent all of Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and most of Monday and Tuesday flat in bed with my leg elevated gobbling...

Hi all, I am looking for help on how to use a Daisy Wheel. I have my mum's and would dearly love to learn how to use it - bearing in mind that I am an apprentice senior. Is there anyone on here who might have instructions they could email me or point me to a website. I have googled and found...

I've been cleaning my basement and decided to close my sewing machine up. Took off the thread, laid the spindles down, lifted up the front edge, and lowered the head into the well. Unfortunately, one side came unhinged. I will not admit to how long it took me to figure out I couldn't put it...

This project was over a year in the making, but I am pleased to say my mom & I have finally finished it! Woo-hoo! I've already sent a personal email to the ladies who contributed scraps of yellow to the project--but if I missed a contributor, then please accept our sincere thanks! We might still...

I went to a quilt show today and bought some things including a pattern book by Jeana Kimball. Unfortunately I've found the book is missing two patterns. The pages are there but nothing is printed on them, not even the numbers. I really would like to have a complete book since I paid for it. ...

Hi, I have a pattern here that I need to make bigger. It is called a basket of flowers, but is not the same one as listed over on quilterscache. However the pattern called "basket of chips" is almost exactly the same, excpet the center block is just a large 6.5 in hst (not a bunch of little...

We're all finished with our guild show. This year we had a judge for the first time. There were too many ribbon winners to post all of them, but these are ones -- 1st places and special ribbons -- in this album: http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/album/560035334imQRXo susan kraterfield see my...

My Bernina 1008, which I've only used for about 2 weeks (bought 3 years ago) seems to get the needle out of line really easily; consequently I'm breaking needles at a record rate. She'll just stop sometimes at 4 layers of cotton (not even denim); when I coax her through, the needle is out of...

My photos were sadly out of date, so I've uploaded many, at: http://community.webshots.com/user/Jo_in_Scotland including 2 quilts and some other patchwork items. Plus the growing-like-weeds triplets, and the 2 new cats. Enjoy! -- Jo in Scotland

Hello! Every once in blue moon, I post a Focus on Design thread. The purpose is to encourage conversation about quilt top patterns. This is not the place to talk about the QI, nor chocolate, nor the relatives, nor weather; it is okay to mention those once in a while, but THIS thread is about...

This website was mentioned on "The Lab with Leo Laporte" tech show - I thought that it might be a good way to introduce kids to user-friendly websites. The download is free but donations are welcome. http://www.keasoftware.com/coloring/features.php jennellh (change the mail to news)

Who in the USA, has a Designer1? I'm in Seattle. I need a HUGE favor. I have scoured every box, bag and everything else I can think of to find where my dongle was packed. During my move I was in the hospital and my place was packed, in my absence, by four people. Things were partially unpacked...

Hi everyone, I used to post on here quite a bit, and then lost my way in finding you all again. I am still quilting, but have also added a BabyLock Esante to my hobbies, so have been doing machine embroidery as well. I had discussion groups for both machine embroidery and for BabyLock...

I have started a new project, I will make quilts for all the babies in our church. That will help reduce my stash and I can easily quilt the smaller quilts on my own machine. So far I have made two and delivered them. I have four more to make (for now, lots of young people in our church ;) ),...
