Music, music, music by
Polly Esther[_5_]
Happy day, oh happy day. I've been dismal for weeks, maybe months since the
speakers on my computer bellied up and died. I can not, don't want to and
will not (without a great deal of sulking) stitch without music. I need the
sweet clear sounds of a perfect flute or boy choir. I feel down to...

OT -- Dog Door Info by
Tia Mary
Hi Guys,
Need info or recommendations about electro-magnetic DOG doors. I
have Googled until I am blue in the face and the only fairly reasonably
priced door big enough to handle Sissy's dogs is the PetSafe Dog Door.
That one has batteries in both the collar key and the door and Steven...

Online courses? any ideas? by
Janner
Just wondering if any of you have used online courses for quilting,
sewing, knitting? Just found Craftsy.com, anyone used them before? I
need to learn something new or at least get motivated. Haven't quilted
for so long although have done some knitting.
I am just in a hole at the moment, need...

Voile is wonderful by
Polly Esther[_5_]
I do lots of appliqué on crib quilts. Lots. Tonight I'm stitching Darcy
Ashton's "Grandma's Bunnies". The bunnies seemed to call for 30's repro. I
didn't want to waste my repro stash so I searched about for something to use
for their backing. There was a mile or so of soft, sheer, washed...

Favourite foot? by
Lizzy Taylor[_2_]
I'm in the middle of free motion quilting a top with lots of bumpy seams
on my domestic sewing machine and struggling because my (darn) darning
foot is catching on the bumps. What is your favourite foot for FMQ that
glides over the bumps?

Wren
Hi everyone,
I've been getting frustrated with my sewing machine lately since I do a
lot of detail work with landscape (applique) wall hangings. My
ultimate goal is freemotion thread painting. I would like to purchase
a quilt frame in the next year but I'll need a machine to use with it.
The...

Begin in the middle by
Polly Esther[_5_]
Someone over on the Bernina group suggested that it was easier on a big
quilt to just put batting on the center of the quilt, quilt that and then
add the sides. Less to mooch up and struggle with - you know? I toyed with
that idea and wasn't willing to try it but I did quilt right down the...

Interesting week........ Long and some off topic by
Pati Cook
The last week or so has been interesting. Last Fri I woke up with a
sore left shoulder. It eased out and was okay, thought I slept on it
wrong. Until I went to CostCo and loaded heavy stuff. Got one box
inside and the rest waited for DH. I really pulled the muscle. Almost
couldn't sleep and...

Thanks,

Secret Santa 2013 by
Jo Gibson[_3_]
I see that not everyone had a quilty gift... I think it is nice to
receive something, even if it is a thoughtfully chosen spool of thread
or magazine. Would anyone be interested in a RCTQ "Secret Santa"
exchange for Christmas 2013? Gifts to not cost more than about $5-$10
and to be sent to...

De-stashing by
Ginger in CA
I am going to be sorting through stash and rehoming some fabric/patterns/books. Is there anyone interested? Perhaps a whatcha-got-box like we did years ago? Last person gets everything in box.
Perhaps we could get a couple boxes started from different people?
