diamond question by Karen, Queen of Squishies[_2_]
I am insetting nine-patches between the points of my diamond stars. What do I do about this? I'm worried it will mess up the next step. Obviously this quilt is just *that* much beyond my skill level. But we march on. http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/photo/2713128790038007762SunpMr Karen,...

OT I want to get back to quilting and sewing! by NightMist
But stuff keeps happening! My dad is talking about driving to NY. He does have some short term memory loss, and recent events have aggravated the problem, whether permanently or temporarily we will not know for a while. The thought of him driving 1500 miles alone right now scares the bejeezus...

Yikes! Now I've done it! (it's good, I think) by Sunny[_2_]
I've volunteered to make the permanent banners for the little chapel of our church, which is undergoing a complete re-do. New carpet, new drapes, new backing for the cross (lots of grumpy parishioners who hate change) and now I'm going to make the banner. I drew up a possible design ... and I...

Another experiment with Clorox Bleach Pen by Leslie & The Furbabies in MO.
For those of you interested in this process, I tried another experiment with both of the two tips and the "spread factor". Also, the batik I used was pre-washed and dried with a fabric softener sheet. I don't know if the softener has any effect on the final results. The first two pics are the...

Prewound bobbins by Alice in PA[_3_]
I think they're the greatest thing around!!! Do any of you use them? Since the thread is fine, they last forever! They're fantastic when doing free-motion quilting.....less stops to change the bobbin. My sewing machine repair guy gave me one to try, and I went back and bought a box of 100!...

Your patriotic DUTY by Polly Esther[_5_]
Nevermind what country you're in, everywhere seems to be having an economic crisis. It is your civic duty to find a great 4th of July sale and buy some fabric. The amount doesn't matter; just one yard counts. Fly your flag and grill some hamburgers and Help a quilt shop stay in business. ...

OT Gonna be gone for a bit by NightMist
Well, my mum has moved from death's sidewalk to death's doorway. According to the hospice nurse she could go at any time. My dad is freaking out, my siblings think that his denial constitutes dementia, my flight out has been rescheduled for Sunday, and my newly renewed permanent copy photo ID is...

Where Can I Buy Dynamite. by GrammyKathy[_3_]
I tried to post this yesterday, but it didn't go thru. I got it from a post on one of my quilting groups... OK, now that I've asked for dynamite & got Big Brother accessing my computer and putting me on the watchlist for terrorism, let me explain. Ants. They are everywhere. They are on my kitchen...

**HELP** - UK Quilters by Tia Mary
This is my second post looking for the UK quilter who sent me a quilt top she didn't like. About a year ago, one of our UK quilters posted that she had finished a quilt top that she *really* didn't like and was going to get rid of it. I posted a nice beg and was eventually sent the quilt top. It...

sewing room art. by Brian[_3_]
I have seen some posts about the art in various people's sewing rooms, so I thought I would take pictures of the art in my sewing room. Most of them are paintings by my mom, some of them going all the way back to the 60's, I think. There are also a few photographs by my dad, and some...

Need an old Sewing Machine manual? by Sherry
In one of those organizational frenzies today. It's too hot to do anything else. Anyway, I found a Singer machine manual for 226U1 or 226U3. I have absolutely no idea where it came from and don't need it. But it looks original, and old and I hated to toss it before asking if anyone wants it. Just...

Laurel Burch fabric by Linda[_4_]
I am planning to make a baby quilt using fabrics from Laurel Burch's Flying Colors line. I am particularly looking for the border print and some blender fabrics in orange, yellow, lime, or purple. Sounds a little crazy for a baby quilt I know, but those are the colors in the baby's room. If...

Time sponge by Sartorresartus
I have just used/wasted/invested a whole morning watching videos on Boobtube. Am I the only one who gets hooked by new gizmos,how-tos and thing-a-ma-bobs for hours at a time? I know I don't play games on the computer, but these little gems seem to be just as addictive. I never knew there was so...

OT they never give up by Polly Esther[_5_]
The last few days I've received spams saying my bank has refused the transfer of payment on my income tax. Really? I didn't transfer payment to ANYBODY . I don't allow anybody access to my bank account - NOT the IRS, not the phone company, not the credit cards. NOBODY. Well. ...

Celtic conquered by Polly Esther[_5_]
I did it! Wanted to play with Celtic for years; finally just put the brakes on my other projects and cautiously proceeded. Celtic Quilts by Beth Ann Williams was my guide. I figured out fast that drawing the inside and outside guide lines for the bias tape placement was a time-killer. ...
