Baby quilt No 1 - small size all quilted and awaiting binding and the worst job (still Pat, despite your handy hints!) of tying in the thread ends. Pictures will follow when all those thread ends have disappeared. Top for the Mum-to-be now sandwiched and awaiting quilting. When both these are...

Please keep Pami's husband and son in your thoughts and prayers as Pami has left this world and gone on ahead. This has just happened. Cindy from GA

I need to recommend to a friend which lovely white cotton is the very best for printing photographs. It's not something I've done in a long while and I only remember that it was Kona or Kona Bay. It was a smooth, finely woven perfect surface. Anyone remember? I'm sure I've written it down...

yes, i know, i have not kept up with the times....and i've recently gotten back into quilting and sewing on a far more regular basis than in the last few years. and, rather than send everything out, i really do need to become more adept at free motion quilting. heck, even more adept at stitch in...

because i'm an idiot, that's why. i started a "quilt as a you go" table runner last night....i merrily sewed along....uhm until i realized something at about midnight. i forgot to use backing. DOH! SO my options are....rip it all out, or just continue with the base (you then applique on top),...

Today is my Birthday and I am going out to eat lunch at one of my favorite Mexican restaurants! The rest of the day will be spent playing with my current stash and deciding what to sew next. This will be a relaxing day! Barbara in FL

Howdy! If it's your birthday, or w/in 12 months of it, this note is for you: Happy Birthday! What do you do to treat yourself special on your own birthday? I make sure there's plenty of fabric; don't want to run out ... in this lifetime. LOL!!

For those of you that are not on FB but have been following the ups and downs of Pami. There has been a post made that her husband Alan has called in Hospice and she is on the decline. Please continue to pray for the brave woman who has endured this nasty cancer for way too long. Cindy from GA

The local quilt shop where I taught before Mom came to live with us is for sale. The owner is retiring. Everyone was expecting the daughter-in-law of the owner to take over but she has decided this isn't the time in her life for such an adventure. Her daughter is 3 1/2 and she is hoping to have...

I was checking out the SCCQG site for show info and came across this page: http://www.sccqg.org/topics/ If you are in a guild there is some good info and helpful ideas for meetings. (SCCQG is the Southern Ca. Council of Quilt Guilds) Taria

Does anyone have or have you used the Eleanor Burns book "Quilts Throughout the Season" ? what do you think of it? Is it worth spending the $$ on? Ginger in CA

I decided to use my spare time volunteering at the local animal shelter- y'all know I'm absolutely goofy about dogs. Of course (and you *knew* this was coming! LOL) I came home with a new dog on the very first day of working there. He's absolutely gorgeous! A 7 month old Golden...

Hi, I've been lurking here a bit and have been inspired and intimidated by the amazing quilts many here have made. I just made my first quilt and thought I would share the experience. It was a great learning experience, though it would have been easier and better if I had come into it...

I am a member of 4 newsgroups, 1 rctq and 3 genealogy. For quite some time now there has been very few to no posts on all four but I have been advised on one of the genealogy groups that there were some "gremlins" for the want of a better word, lurking around cyberspace and causing havoc for...

Guess who is allowed to sew for 10 minutes Total. between tomorrow and the next Dr visit on Tues? IF and only IF, we can figure out a way to put the pedal up to where I can use my knee.......either knee.... Got a project planned for tomorrow. Butterfly (YAY)

I've got to fill out the entry forms for our guild's show tonight. I'm having a tough time deciding what to put in. We can enter up to 15, I have a list of 10 possibles. But winnowing down is turning out to be harder than I thought, because everything on the list of possibilities is either...
