Even though it is not sewing related this is entirely too good to keep to myself. Besides, a fair few people here have other craft interests, are artists, or buy such things for their children. So I mentioned before that the easel I ordered for Ash's birthday arrived damaged. It appeared to be...

G'day John Can you please email me re my and DH proposed visit to US, travelling thru Ohio...... thanks Bronnie bronferrier dot @gmail dot com

Well, I'm tired of wrestling with my quilts & it's time to seriously consider a mid-arm - but not with a frame, just one for my sewing machine table. I'm looking for good & bad experiences if anyone is willing to share. I only want a mechanical machine that sews just a straight stitch. I have...

Doc, I am so, so sorry to learn of your loss. It's just beyond what anybody should have to bear to loose a precious friend like your Boomer. I have had several dogs that were super extra special- altho I have dearly loved every dog I've had the honor of being owned and loved by over my many...

Got my new Gingher seam ripper today. (NAYY) These are my own opinions, only. It's a really cool shape that sits nicely in my right hand. It looks ambi-dextrous, but I couldn't swear to that. The finish is smooothh and touchy-feely. I have played with a seam and some reverse stitching. It...

Yesterday, at Joanne's Store, I saw a unique line of fabric that would be fun to use. It features "engagement" theme, such as diamond rings, some words, etc. The colors are pastel, but the designs are lively line drawings, so the look is not sappy. Well, that caught my eye because my lovely...

I just saw a bit about earthquakes in your part of the world. Hope everything is ok (except maybe those rotten light poles) Hugs, Taria

Thank you for all your kind words and messages of support. We had the first ultrasound on Thursday, July 9th and everything was fine - baby super active, heartbeat, everything appeared normal. The baby was dated as 13 weeks, 2 days, so the revised due date is January 12, 2010. I have found...

For me it is embroidery scissors. I have a LOT of pairs of embroidery scissors. I have straight ones and bent ones, antique ones and spanky new ones. I have plain ones, storks, peacocks, lions, people, and flowers, in gold, silver, steel, and an assortment of plating. I have ones where the company...

Who has it? How is it? (apart from fabric calculations) I bought it, and Block Base, a few versions back and found it not intuitive and hard to use. In fact I really didn't like it at all. Has it improved? Trying to figure out if it's worth buying again. Thanks,

I was a member of this group when Noah was a lad, then _things_ happened. I'm sort-of back-in-the-land-of-the-living now, and trying to re- establish old ties. I missed you all, but thought a litany of misery was inappropriate. Quilting has been a Godsend. I still have gadgets. (Just sent for...

Wow! Well done! Would you share the pattern #? Roberta in D On Mon, 13 Jul 2009 19:11:03 -0700 (PDT), Sherry wrote: OMG! I must have read that pattern ten times. I even cut a miniature "practice" piece trying to figure out exactly WHAT the pattern was telling me to do.

Recently I attended a "Wacky Wednesday" at a nearby sewing machine store....they demonstrate new items on those days. While there, I signed up for a door prize......and won!! My prize was 75% off of any non-sale items up to $75! So, today I went in and spent my "free" money! Since they don't...

Hurray! I have a feeling I Will be going in the same direction, when some of my things are no longer wearable! (Either that or I will be forced to be a Hootchie Mama Old Timer gg) .. In message , Polly Esther writes Terrific,...

Oh, well done, Sherry. I am delighted that you worked this out and are pleased with the result. This is even more worthwhile to you than if you had 'got it' from the start. I repeat, I'm so pleased for you. This is a priceless reward for perseverance. Good, good for you. .. In message...
