Nope this is not a book on quilting designs or techniques. Actually, the book is titled "What I Learned From God While Quilting." It is one of those books you just stumble on; you're not actually looking for it. I have it and it is very short, sweet, and endearing. If any of you would like it to...

A woman's group I'm in has an ornament exchange at its holiday party. Ornaments do not have to be limited to Christmas trees, I realized, and I make wallhangings. This will be the third year (how quickly a tradition is established) -- and I finished the 2003 edition last night. I used a...

Well, I finally got the booklet that has the instructions for my featherweight. I oiled the machine and lubricated it. Threaded the bobbin and started to sew. The machine hums!!! I love it already! Wouldn't you know it, I have a double shipment of data processing to do and all I want to do it...

I just have to vent here. I'm sooooo disappointed!!! After waiting 8 years for a new car, we finally decided on the Ford Freestar - it replaces the Windstar. We had a '96 Windstar that we bought before the boys were born. (I had to get rid of my Honda CRX-Si 'cause, carrying twins, I just could...

I went to the store yesterday to stock up on SM needles. There was a bin of yarn on sale, and suddenly I felt compelled to knit a pair of socks! Bought yarn, got out and dusted off my sock pattern, excavated the needles, and finished 4" of rib last night (while watching the new series on German...

I've just started using a glue stick for doing appliqué and I really like it, except the glue stick gets really gummy pretty quickly. I've put them in the freezer and it helps a bit for a while. I have the Ross glue sticks, are there better ones, what do you use? Lorraine

Very kewl Kate! Those students are so lucky. It looks like a lot of fun! So how was the treadling part? Did you unsew a little too? :) Elena in Tx, having only sewed one block on her treadle. "Kate Dicey" wrote in...

Today, I got a haircut and a manicure so I look bee-u-ti-ful for all you RCTQr's at the Texas show. I know Sandy in Henderson and Elena and KCK will be there. Anyone else? See on the Weather channel that it's in the 80's down there, so it will be good to get away from the rainy chill here. Glad to...

Late one dark and rainy night a man was walking home alone when he hears a....... BUMP... BUMP... BUMP... behind him.

I have the worst time remembering the name of that mall--I think of it as 'The Full Moon Mall' because the enormous sign looms over I-95 like a gigantic moon rising on the horizon. ( Both a Mecca and a beacon for me.) Anyway, for those of you planning to take a trip to the mall, who want to hit...

I have a new email because of all the infected spam I have to filter out. I don't want to open any bad mail while I am visiting anyone. quiltermim@hotmaildotcom Some of my male friends aren't too thrilled with such a prosaic nom-de-plume but who cares. I have been with my sister for quite a...
