Hope the Holiday Happiness sprites are visiting your home! Rather than the December stress gremlins that are attempting to invade mine! Looking forward to January, I will be traveling to Reseda, California to do a seminar with my DS's high school art students on Telling Stories thru Quilts and...

Well, after a week of fiddling with insurance/doctor/pharmacy I finally got my prescription for Zyban. In 5 days I start the patches. I don't know how it's going to work, but DH and I are doing this together, so wish us luck! ~handmaiden

Make Tons Of Money Fast! I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are, and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with an initial investment of $6.00! I thought," Scam", but I was curious, so I kept reading. It said : send $1.00...

Well, yes, I've discovered all the bits inside it. And no, I didn't take it apart step by step. It kinda slipped and fell apart. I always take things apart if they're not working properly. The walking foot seemed to be binding slightly. The arm that hooks on the needle clamp didn't move...

Rita, I can't get your web site to open. Any suggestions??? Kris ( in a very cold northern Virginia)

I have just sat down to quilt my first quilt. Invisible thread in the top and Gutterman in the bottom (polyester, this isn't a heirloom quilt and I have a broken toe so can't get to the shops!). But, whatever tension setting I put the machine on (from extremely low to extremely high) the bottom...

Ok, I know I really ought to label my quilting, but I really don't know what the daylights to put on it. I don't have access to a nice embroidery machine and I'm afraid the fabric markers will fade out. What do you use/suggest? Is there an inexpensive service to get custom embroidered labels?...

Next Thursday, February 3, at 10 PM (this is in NY so check your listings) there is a program on channel 13. It is the story of the Gees Bend Quilts with pictures of the quilts and interviews with the quilters, families, etc. It should be quite good. In case anyone is interested. Nana

We're going to be having our annual quilt show here in this area April 8-10. If any of you are planning a little get-away, this would be a terrific time to do it! g -- Sandy in Henderson, near Las Vegas my ISP is earthlink.net -- put sfoster1(at) in front http://home.earthlink.net/~sfoster1 AKA...

One New Year's resolution taken care of in January! Susan Laity Price and I have had some e-correspondence both on and off the newsgroup. A while ago we realized that we really ought to get together in person sometime, seeing as we live about 60 miles apart (she west of Chicago and I north). That...

Hi everyone We usually have very mild temperatures on the west coast of Canada and little snow. Last week we had a blast of snow and became the laughing stock of Canada with pictures of cars sliding down hills on the cross Canada newscasts. Everything then turned sunny and stayed below 0C for...

Hi all, just a note to let you all know that I am in fact still in the land of the living ( and hope to be for YEARS to come) The past two months have been filled with tummy bugs ( got that twice and so did the kids) and food poisoning (bad precooked chicken burgers that I will never ever buy...

I have been searching for a BOM online - seems like something fun to do - with my limited time one or two blocks a month isn't too bad and then at the end of the year - a whole quit ! Well, in all my searching I came across a website that has 2 different ones - AND one of them is in 4 colorways (I...

Nothing to lose? Just your soul! Ain't worth it.

I recently saw in a quilting book a pinning tool used to pin safety pins into your quilt. Does anyone have one of these and have you been happy with it? Do you need anything else, like special clips, that go on the safety pins to make it work?

I just finished a "ScreenPlay" tote - this is the one made with vinyl coated polyester pet screen. I've had the stuff for 2 years- finally just did it. I used Laurel Burch cat fabric, with contrasting bands. It's pretty cute- I'll used it. As always, I can see how to improve it. Now, maybe...

almost. I had to go into the city today to have all my pre-op stuff done. Lab, x-rays, EKG. You know the kind of stuff. I'm going in a week from tomorrow to have a stent put in since my pulmonary vein is too narrow. Anyway, DH always takes the day off and drives me when I have appointments there...

I am having a hard time getting my list to you Please email me. TIA Diana in dallas
