Seeing Kay's above post about mending her DGS's quilt got me thinking about a comforter I put together several years ago. It's just your basic 9-patch made of scraps in pinks with solid bright pink squares and borders to bring it together. I tied it instead of quilting as it was just for me to...

on topic: All that is left for my former church's craft/service auction is the quilting!! Then I can get it in the box with the sheets and a couple other little items and get it mailed down to Maryland!! Wahoo!!!!!!!!!! It should be finished sometime today and I can mail it after I drop DS off...

After a very frustrating 20 minutes of the usual lousy telephone customer service, I was finally able to get through to a real live person who informed me (ever so nicely) that the reason that I can't find Dye Magnets anymore is that the company discontinued them a year ago. I said he'd have...

I know this has been asked before, and on a regular basis, but can someone point me in the direction of Jills website/email, the lady who makes quiltlets for animals in shelter? Got a load of fabric that she may be able to use... Suzie B -- "From the internet connection under the pier" Southend,...

Well, I've been sewing. (what else) Not much quilting, but bunches of other things. New "house pants" DH (who is doing fine, thanks for all the prayers, good thoughts & warm wishes), Easter "princess" dresses for a couple of the grandaughters, and I'm fixin' to start on one for me!! Imagine that....

Well, this has turned out to be a major project.! I think I have mended close to 2 dozen holes. A lot of them turned out to be in the red bandana material, a very busy print that mending completely disappears even if I don't match the fabric perfectly The places on the denim turned out to...

I just signed up for this newsgroup and wanted to say hello. Have been quilting only about 6 months and have done mostly crazy quilt squares, free form quilting, and landscape quilting. I took a class at Quilt University which was really great and am totally addicted to quilting. I signed up...

Well, if you haven't noticed I am still no here yet sigh. I finally had to crash the other day. So yesterday I slept most of the day away getting much needed rest from my quilting marathon. The baby and the quilt are not yet done :). My daughter is due to be induced on Monday, providing my DGS...

Dear Tech Support: Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slowdown in the overall performance, particularly in the flower and jewelry applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0. In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable...

Hi, everyone. I have a little problem - DM made the blocks for the top of this quilt from Jo-ann's, and gave it to me to finish last year. She gave me the pieced top and the setting kit. I have misplaced the instructions, and after many hours of searching and digging, I am asking for help. Does...

extra benefits, I mean. DH claims I sleep like a log in the evenings and after feeding her, and he takes care of her and does chores. he might be hallucinating for all I know, because I am really dead to the world. so when I get up at 7 with Sofia, he wants to stay in bed claiming he was up and...

Just wanted to give praise for really good customer service. I needed some veggie fabric for my Mom's Garden of Edith quilt and I found a fat quarter collection at Ginger's. Problem was that I needed to know exactly what was going to be in the packets which are subject to fabric availability. I...

I worked at home today and had the TV on. I thought I would keep it on for background noise, you know. Well, they pulled Martha's show. I wish I was in the meeting where they decided what show to use to replace hers. Know what they picked, at least on my TV? - All in the Family! ...

But all the cutting and fitting has me worried. I really would like to machine piece and hand quilt. Does this sound like it would...

I know there have been jokes before about being "addicted to quilting" but this was too much.... Someone nicely posted a 50% off coupon for JoAnns last week. I printed it out and today I went shopping. I was out of basting spray and EEK had to resort to pin basting a little quilt as I didn't...

Please join quilters in the United States and beyond in a fat quarter fabric exchange. The theme for March is Batiks. These are dyed by a special process, often with imprints or salted to enhance the look of the fabric. Batiks are usually similar in color/print intensity on both sides of the...
