I got your scanned image ... but I still don't know if you're using EQ6! If you're using EQ6, I can trace the PP pattern very easily, but it won't work for you if you've got EQ5 (since you won't be able to open it). Please let me know!! I want to help!! :) Hugs!! Connie...

I know this isn't a gardening group officially ... but I hear so much about ya'll's green thumbs that I thought you'd be the ones to ask! We have a Key Lime tree and it's gettin' cold here. We didn't plant it outside - hubby wouldn't let us as he wants to bring it in during the winter (since it...

Finished two blocks in as many days. Both are Carol Doak Paper Pieced blocks. 2500 Member and December BOM. Both are pictured in my webshots album. Next I hope to finish piecing 2 tops and mail them off to be completed for wounded soldiers. --...

Whilst we were doing Mr J's appts on Fri we stopped for lunch at a fish place. (new in town) They had 2 diff kinds of : American Tenderized Alligator on the menu Miz Polly, by any chance, have YOU sent any alligators to me when I needed them so badly??????

DH, 2 DS and I went to the Washington State History Museum this afternoon. There is a new temporary exhibit of Art Quilts. I'm not really into art quilts but this group knocked my socks off! DH and boys went to some other exhibit and I concentrated on the quilts. I stayed so long in that...

I'm putting together a very simple quilt from Christmas fabrics. As I wanted to use up all the fabric, the design has 2 main borders and because of the colours, I needed to space them out with 2 narrow borders. The fabric is very busy, so I think quilting will be just what is necessary to hold...

I could really use the wisdom of some of you ladies who've been married an awful lot longer than me. After I had the hip surgery, DH moved a mattress into our room for him to sleep on, he finally came back into our bed last night. I didn't feel like I slept any worse, or woke up any earlier,...

It's not often that there are no posts at all for a period of an hour or so......It's 8:30 pm here...where is everyone? I actually got to put borders on a baby quilt today.....usually I am at the long arm - working. It was nice bonding with my dsm today....I miss it! Maybe everyone is off...

Just a little update on my quest for a sheath for my embroidery scissors. I ordered a sheath from Silent Stitches, and they offered to send me a second style so I could see which I preferred. Lovely! I ordered on 11/28, and the two sheaths arrived yesterday -- from Massachusetts to Nevada in...

Does any manufacturer or testing organization rate fabrics by light fastness? With real numbers? We've had a bad experience with a quilt we made for somebody who put it on his bed in a bright room for several years. Some of the colours almost completely faded, much worse than others. So...

Someone mentioned Frank usually pops in here to ask about presents for Brenda this time of year. Not sure where he has been (maybe busy building her the house?) I saw this and thought it would be a neat gift: http://www.hinterberg.com/caddy/ncaddy-default.html If John is around I wonder what...

Maybe what we need is a manager for the group who can delete offending posts and block trolls. Do we have an owner now? I would be willing to do this, but I think we should have several that are able to do clean up as needed.

Hi All, I ran across this company on e-bay. I ordered some thread and was very pleased at the quality of the thread. Just wanted so share it with you all. http://www.threadart.com/shop/category.asp?catid=5

Any tips on sewing leather clothes? Sewing leather can be hard. I have to repair the leather masks and thong panties i use in my BD/SM sex games quite often and i need them to last longer.

Have the squares been re-mailed? If so, I need to file a missing mail report. Thanks, Tricia in TX http://tricialangner.myphotoalbum.com

Another time waster! It is addicting. No wonder the players make dumb moves. http://www.nbc.com/Deal_or_No_Deal/game/dond.swf Debbi in SO CA

I was sorting thru my fly tying stuff this afternoon (I'm getting rid of it since my poor old arthritic hands don't cooperate anymore.) and the light bulb flashed on. If any of you have a fly tyer on your gift list that Side Winder just may be the ticket. The tying tool called a 'bobbin' is a...

So, I finished the commissioned wall quilt for my church friend a few days ago. I managed to get all the binding sewn down (only time I really enjoy handsewing!) while Mother was here - kept me from committing Hari-Kari. It looks WAY better than I had ever expected and she was completely...

This is the month for Trolls. They're hungry this time of year---please send all trolls to Kate's Kitchen so she can make us a pot of Troll Stew. She's pretty good at it. You're welcome to bring side dishes. Got the first post today saying we were KNITTERS. Even *I* know the diff between using...

Tonight a Pfaff Cover Style serger and a Pfaff 7570 sewing machine are sitting on my kitchen table. Also the computerized embroidery setup for the 7570. I am one confused woman. I pulled the serger out of the box, looked at its five spools of thread and pushed it right back in teh box. Apparently...
