Well I went to my sister's for the weekend to help out with the kiddlets again. Things for the most part were pretty quiet. My nephew continues to have some very difficult times and had one outburst while I was there that resulted in a broken door. He put his fist through a closet door. I don't...

Hello all - As it is the beginning of the school year, the teachers ask if parents are interested in volunteering in the classroom or showing/teaching hobbies etc...so, being the glutton for punishment that I am...I said I'd love to show the kids quilting/sewing. Well, Ms. Zadi (rhymes with lady)...

I guess I'll rummage around and find my copy of Kidnapped for some good bedtime reading. Who has not yet see Pirates of the Carribean? (I love pirates) RedQueen

Okay, I got two points sewn all nice and solid - even though I had to rip out one side of the second point, re-pin and then go back and do it again. The thrid point went well on one side, then the other side bunched all up, even though it LOOKED straight under the machine. I'm tired of this...

While looking through my new "Quilts and Other Comforts" catalog today, I ran across a pattern I'd seen in a book a while back. I didn't buy the book, because this one pattern was really the only one I liked. Now it's available singly, but I'd like y'all to give me your opinion on...

Well, I got the little quilt done for Rebekah...now I need to remember to get it into the suitcase. Yesterday, I vacuumed out my car, installed the new booster seat for my 3yo, and installed the infant carseat/carrier. I also washed the cushions from the toddler seat and the stroller, so as far...

Just when I thought I knew everything....... Mosquito repellents don't repel. They hide you. The spray blocks the mosquito's sensors so they don't know you're there. Dentists have recommended that a toothbrush be kept at least 6 feet away from a toilet to avoid airborne particles resulting from...

Adorable and inspirational. Thanks! Yvette "Anne" wrote in message ... DD#2 just sent me this URL. I'd like to say she is a chip off the old block, but I think she has surpassed ole' Mom's quilting already. This ...

May I ask what is recommended for making templates? I am making a Butterfly scrappy quilt and have to cut out many butterflies (in two parts about the size of a file card). Carla -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service...

I know that there are lots of people out there who have much larger stashes than I do, however I discovered today that I am a fabric squirrel. I found that I was running out of fabric on a project and started rummaging through drawers of previous project materials and discovered that I still had a...

Between you guys and some other local friends, I've been heavily tempted to buy a PDA. I've researched and chosen one I like (the Palm Zire 71), but I'm still trying to resolve some questions. (1) Will I really use it as much as my paper planner? I use the Franklin Covey system now and really find...

Carol Doak spoke at my guild on Monday. Yesterday she taught a class on the Machine Paper-Pieced Autumn Leaves Wall Quilt in her "Easy Paper Pieced Keepsake Quilts" book. I had done a little paper piecing before, but never using her methods. She made it a lot easier. This is also a tesselating...

This week, in fact. AAAACK, my baby's growing up, and without permission, I might add. She'll be good at it, and she's very excited. Anyway, i'd like to make her a little ballet wall hanging. has anyone seen any ballerina fabric out there? Or patterns, for that matter? It's not something...

I bought the machine as a demo machine at the Houston IQF from a Janome dealership here in Houston... but it is ALL the way on the OTHER catycorner side of town from me and would take forever to...

LN, I can't post to the ng right now. Our internet connection is on the fritz. I'm using DH's work computer (against the rules!), and I tried to post through Google, but the account is set up under my old email address, and I forgot the password. So, the password hint was sent to my old addy, and...

A large shaggy dog joined our household tonight. I've been looking for a dog for a couple of weeks, and this one won the pet lottery! Spike, Giles and I met him last week, and they thought he was great, even though he is nose to nose with Giles. His foster "parent" brought him to our house this...

Just after reading the post about how to keep fusible web from getting on your ironing board cover I picked up this month's Sew News magazine, and there was a little hint in it about using rubbing alcohol, wiped on with a towel, to remove the web! I'm going to try this myself next time I gum up...

On HGTV, today , there was a pattern for a quilt called Vintage Roses by Foxglove Cottage....Has anyone seen it elsewhere?, the picture is VERY fuzzy and we would like to present it to our guild as a possibility for a raffle quilt. -- Mauvice in Central WI USA
