So, into the store Bert and I walked and the one lady from the other night greeted me very warmly, as did the two other workers, and the second lady from the other night was busy. But, the first lady remembered that I had been in buying reds for "the neatest project" and came right over to...

One of the radio stations here sponsors a weekly (usually) get-together called Wine Down Wednesday. They get a wine company to serve samples of wine, arrange for some nibblies so the public doesn't get too tipsy, and give away prizes. Several weeks ago I won a prize. Now keep in mind that I...

Has anybody seen a pattern for making a quilt out of used team football jerseys? My wife has asked me to see if I can locate a pattern. If you know of how I can find one please email me at thanks brother John. And Sister Janey.

My g-neice and her 1yo son need ideas to fill the days with things to see and do in and around Dundee, Scotland while her husband is busy with a seminar. They are leaving Canada on April 15th - they'll spend a couple of days in Edinburgh before travelling to Dundee. Any suggestions will be...

In Edna's post about uneven flying geese there was a discussion about which should be on the bottom, the pieced section or the unpieced section. I have always heard that the larger (in this case longer) piece should be on the bottom because the feed dogs help ease in the extra fabric. Alex Anderson...

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...

About three weeks ago, I was up at the crack of dawn finishing up some floral arrangements that needed to be out the door by 9:30. I had the local PBS channel on in the background. One of the quilt shows had a woman demonstrating this nifty plastic template for a quilt-as-you-go wedding ring...

Please ignore...... -- Cindy from MO

I too went to the Houston show met several RCTQers for lunch on Friday and also on Saturday. I totally enjoyed my face to face visit with Rusty what a wonderful lady. It was good to see the gang again Susan & Don, Pat, Frood and Sandy and the rest of you ladies. I did volunteer hours this year as a...

Thank you to Charlotte Hensen and Christina (via Merry Stahel). I was so excited when I got some squishies. Didn't think they could possibly be for me. They sure made my day. I'll be sure to be using them soon. First I need to fondle a while. Cathy in Oshkosh WI

Today, when I finally went down to the mailroom, there was a wonderful squishie surprise waiting for me from Bakersfield - the 'red headed wonder' whose wish was to remain anonymous sent a package of beautiful colourful butterflies to warm the arctic chill out of the air here today. Thank you so...

Hi everyone.... I'm doing some spring cleaning in my sewing room today. For now, I have a grouping of Coca-Cola fabrics that are up for grabs. There are 5 pieces. They were salesman samples and are odd sized, but large. I think they would equal out to at least a fat quarter each. About 27" long by...

I went to a church yard sale and there was this lonely looking older Dressmaker SM just waiting on a table for me to pick it up! It has a handle, is lightweight, has a free arm AND the extension arm, AND------was in a carrying case that wasn't made for the machine. Since it was 11:00 AM and HOT,...

I'm beginning to look for a sewing machine cabinet. Actually I'm looking for the kind like Quilter's Dream from Horn of America, since I would have it open all the time. I'd love to have your comments on quality, features to look for, recommended manufacturers, good sources,...

Went to The Quilt Show in Shreveport, La yesterday and my DH saw the Little Gracie Home quilting frame and wants to get me one for Christmas, birthday and anniversary( which are all with in four days). Has anyone here used one and was it easy to use. I went to their website and really like the...

Hello Cyberfriends! I'm not sure if this message will go through -- I tried to post last week and never saw my message. But, I wanted to ask you to HAPPY DANCE with me -- the quilt I've been working on for my first grandbaby, Declan (almost 10 months old), is FINISHED!! Just took it out of the...
