First Paper Piece Block by
Mika
Ok I finally went and did it. I am no longer the Paper Piece V*rgin.
Unfortunately. As of today I officially claim the title of Queen of Paper
Piece Klutzdom. Should anyone already claim this title please speak now or
forever hold your peace. As to the reason that I claim this particular
crown -...

Sad news by
Sandy
While I was in Houston, DH had to make the heart-breaking decision to
have our Dexter put down. We'd known he was not doing really well, but
he wasn't yet suffering, and he was still happy. However, while I was
away, his hindquarters gave out completely and he lost control of his
bowels. For a...

OT discussion - location of my driver's license by
Karen, Queen of Squishies
One of my spring-time ponderings I am day-dreaming about is that this year I
might be healthy enough to get my motorcycle license for my bike we take
camping. I've been keeping the permit locked up in the compartment under
the seat, and plan to keep my license there when I get it. I'm...

signing your posts... :-) by
Kate G.
I really appreciate it when people sign their posts with their city or state
or country. It is hard getting to know people here -- and for me it helps
to keep them "pegged" on the map! Eventually even my brain can begin to
keep people straight!

Basting the 'Sandwich' by
Edward W. Thompson
Can I initiate some discussion on the preferred way to secure the
sandwich for quilting. As far as I know the four methods commonly
used i.e. basting using thread, safety pins, spray basting and basting
'gun'.
I am sure there will be proponents of each of the 'methods' and
perhaps others. I...

Oh ye who are experts in all things - My bachelor neighbor who gave me the
12-point buck is diabetic. I would like to bake some cookies for him for a
Christmas happy and have done the googling-around bit but need real

OT - QI gone MIA by
Sharon Harper
Y'all know of my littlest QI, Tassie Jim (Jack Russell x Beagle that DH fell
in love with on our holiday in Tasmania)? Well last night Jim's beagle nose

Sewing Machine Inventory by
Kate G.[_2_]
Just curious.... what machines do you sew on?
Don't count your collectors... but the 1 or 2 that you actively sew on? I
wonder if there is any "consensus" or dominance as to make/model here...
I'll start:
I have 2 machines:
Pfaff 2030 -- have used for years for all piecing and quilting

OT Turkey Alert! by
Polly Esther[_2_]
It is time to move your frozen turkey from the freezer to the refrigerator.
If you 'are' a turkey, this is a good time to disappear. It takes a long
time for a Big Bird to thaw. The quick way of putting the frozen bird in a
sink of cold water and constantly changing the water is a pain. Start...

Kindergarteners and Color Theory by
frood
Giles was working on her "homework" today, and became quite upset when she
couldn't find a brown crayon. I dug through the crayon bin, and pulled out
several brown crayons. She tried each one, and said each time "this isn't
brown!" Ok so the wrappers didn't say "brown", but if I was making a...

International Quilting - Round Robins or Swaps by
Cheryl in Oz
In a previous thread I asked if anyone was planning a Round Robin. There
was no response then (possibly because some participant(s) in a past RR had
failed to deliver quilts and disillusion levels were high) but I would still
like to try something.
I would love to get a group with one rep from...

OT Who else's kid? by

A lot of times when one of your kids does something you can comfort
yourself a bit by saying: not the first one nor the last to pull that
stunt!
When 5 year old DD#1 'conditioned' 3 year old DD#2's hair with nair I
said that.
When 6 year old DD#2 trimmed her own bangs and we went with the...

went out to get some fresh vegetables and fruit, and bring my cat

My mum (Sheila) died last night just after 2am. She was at home, I was
with her, along with dad, my sisters, and mum's brother and sisters.
She'd had cancer for 7 years, so we knew it was coming but it didn't
half go fast in the last few days.
She taught me (without ever saying it in so many...
