Hello to all, I received some checks for postage and finally got to deposit them today. The packages are going to the Post Office tomorrow. Sorry about the delay due to work stuff and all...I will also be sending individual e-mails. Anyway, there is still plenty of fabric to get out of here for...

I just wanted to thank everybody who gave me some tips. I went to hancocks and found some unbleached muslin for .99 a yard. I bought 5 yards and should be enough for the stockings and stuff that's not denim. To whoever it was that wrote about red and green jeans- wish I could find some like...

Some of us will want to make some gesture to commemorate Sue, and this is good. I would like to suggest one thing that perhaps no one would have thought of. The very, very best thing you could do in Sue's memory is to have a colonoscopy. Sue had colon cancer which spread to the liver...clearly a...

I have been down and off for 21 days. Have finished all UFO's. Cleaned everything including behind washer and dryer. Taught the Yorkie to speak Castillian Spanish. Decorated the Christmas tree and filed next year's income tax. I hope you have been very kind to each other during my absence. Oh, my...

Hi Guys, Does anyone have any idea where Jo in Scotland has gotten to? I have some black Kona Cotton to send her and don't have her snail mail addy and she hasn't answered e-mails! Has there been a holiday in Scotland, I wonder?? Perhaps she is off having a fun time in some strange and exotic...

I see that some of you have either taken or taught quilting classes. Does anyone know of a place in eastern Washington state that teaches classes like this? I'm going to check with the new quilt shop that I just found today and see if they offer classes. I think I would really enjoy and get a...

Howdy! Heard about this from Benartex, saw it on John Flynn's site: Artifacts : http://www.flynnquilt.com/workshop.html Mmmmmm! Ragmop/Sandy

My step sister (kinda sorta - her adopted dad divorced her adopted mum and married my mum (very short family history!!) has just had her first baby this morning!! Join me in welcoming into the world 6 pound Savannah Jade. Now to whiz up a quick quilt for this little young 'un! -- Sharon From...

Glad to hear she's doing better Jo. Grandmas are special people. We're here (even when we really, really should be doing something else :) kitty in phx -- Remove "s" in email to respond. http://community.webshots.com/user/kittykatchee "Johanna Gibson" wrote in...

My DM&FIL have been on vacation in Hawaii for the past two weeks and got home Saturday. As per usual I'd been taking care of their 19 year old cat, Mischief, and doing the mail and watering thing. We usually receive a token gift (t-shirt or some such). Imagine my delight and surprise when...

I have just finished three t-shirt quilt tops, and three checkerboard-pieced backings, for hire. This woman is a friend of mine, and has purchased hand-made quilts before, but not from me. I have never made a quilt for money. I asked her to help me figure out how much she should pay me, but she...

Check this out! I read about it last week, but lost the ad. Very nicely done. http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/visualart/143692_trust14.html April SW Washington dennisra at tds dot net

Today I went and bought some more fabric. Ahh the joys of S.E.X. ;D I bought 9 yards of a beautiful green fabric and 6 yards of cream. (They're poly-cotton blends) These will make up the windmills and the area around the windmill. I then found a black poly-cotton blend to use for the border of each...

An elderly Cherokee Man was teaching his grandchildren about life. He said to them, "A fight is going on inside me, it is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One wolf is evil---he is fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies,...

Wow, it's good to be home. Too tired to go into details, but i did get to shop for fabric, got to meet Butterfly and Scott in Fresno....Was a great couple of weeks. More details later, if you want them, and if not, that's ok, too. Hugs, and I'm glad to be home! -- Jalynne Queen Gypsy (snail mail...

Which to you lean towards in your quilting? Do you like to start new things, try new fabrics and new patterns and new technique. Then find that after you've done a bit that is enough and you are ready to move on to the new adventure. Or, do you like to take a project from start to finish and...

Hi Everyone You recall that last month and in August we were concerned about several B.C. communities and forest fires? Well now we have the other end of the scale, major rainstorms with flood conditions. Victoria broke their one day rain record by almost 45mm of rain for a total of about 135mm! ...

You guys, my Dad overdosed again last night. It's not that he doesn't know what he's doing, he does. He has just decided that no matter what the doctor says, he needs to double up on his sleeping pills, and maybe take a little something else also, to help him sleep. He promised DH earlier...

I put "new" in quotes because they're not actually new, just pictures I haven't shown off here yet. Ryan (aka Yoda) is getting huge! He's 8.5 months now and is about 22lb. His friend Baby Matthew is 2 weeks older and was 2lb heavier at birth, but Ryan has him beat by about 5lb now. But Ryan's...
