just a minor happy dance by
CNYstitcher
I am almost done piecing all the little blocks for the state fair quilt.
I know, not as good as actually finishing the quilt, but still, it's
progress for me!!
I have been hit with a strong "nesting urge" and feel the need to build
things - hard labor with power tools - so I have been a bit...

back from weekend retreat by
Ann Adamson
Hi all,
My hubby suggested last week that we take an overnight trip Sunday up to
Palm Springs to relax and sun ourselves by the pool at our favorite resort.
So we piled the kids and all their "stuff" into the big green minivan, and
headed out to the desert! The kids had a blast in the pool, and I...

Quilt Dimensions by
Sherry Starr
I thought I had the various sizes for twin, full, queen, etc. somewhere. I
obviously put it where I could find it again (VBG). I thought there was a
website with all this useful info, but I can't remember that either. I
think I'm overthinking my grandson's quilt. I decided the pattern that...

Almost done!!! Happy Dance - squared by
Jim Vander Noot
One down, one almost there!
Today I got the binding done on the memorial quilt for my best friend's mom,
who passed away in May. It's only 14x18, but machine applique with trapunto
and some free-motion embroidery. Used Ricky Tims' piped binding techique to
bring out the slight red accent color. ...

Ellis Island Immigration by
frood
My family bought a brick with my father's name on it for Ellis Island, to
commemorate my parents' immigration in 1962, even though they came in
through JFK airport (was it called JFK in '62?) in New York, not Ellis
Island.
I'm glad you got the info you needed,...

Your pond is lovely and I'm sure it is a peaceful retreat on days when life
just gets to be a bit much. I can just imagine lazing back with a cup and a
good book listening to the water. sigh.

Well we have got here. We're staying in a lovely house in Spruce Green.
I looked in the Yellow Pages and there don't seem to be many LQS to go visit.
Does any body know of any that are worth going to?
Love Canada so far. It is just HUGE! I had no idea how big. Everywhere seems
miles away from...

religious baby quilt by
Sheryl O'Connell
Anyone know of a cute pattern for a religious baby quilt? Maybe
something that has different squares of symbols or pictures in the
Christian faith? I'd love to make one as a gift, but I'm not that
artistic to create it myself.
Thanks!
