Minot floods by
Gen
I called the Minot Red Cross. The have met the quota for pillowcases, but
will not turn down any that are sent. They would LOVE quilts. The quilts
don't have to be fancy - just functional. Getting them there ASAP would be
good.
Red Cross
PO box 456, Minot, ND 58701
Thanks

OT Mischief in MO! by
Leslie & The Furbabies in MO.
I've been pretty quiet lately. There's a reason I've been so
busy..... :-)
About a month ago I was bored so was cruising about online and decided
to check out the real estate listings. I found the most *adorable*
1928 Victorian cottage. It was a foreclosure and selling for a
ridiculously low...

How's about we... by
Sartorresartus
have a challenge? I don't think we've done one for ages.
Nothing too onerous, because we all have busy lives, but something we
could chat about to take us out of ourselves. I could sure do with
some of that!
I like the idea of a new technique, or using a new tool (I would like
THAT one,...

a first! by
Karen Tucker
I finished my first miniature! This is from Carol Doak's Easy Paper
Pieced Miniatures. It measures 12" x 12". It was the first time I have

learn. I enjoyed this so much, I'm cutting another one from the same

a small vent by
Roberta[_3_]
Mostly I'm annoyed for getting myself into this situation and for
making too many assumptions.
I offered to machine quilt a top for a friend, who plans to give it to
her niece. She has a lot of experience in patchwork and some in
machine quilting, but her health prevents her from quilting...

Table Runner Block Size? by
Mary in Rock Island IL
I am making some table runners for a benefit. My general plan is to
have five blocks, on point with some side triangles. I recently made
a runner with 7 inch blocks, it seemed thin (or maybe narrow is a
better term) to me.
What is a good size for those blocks?

G'day! by
Trish Brown
Hello everyone! I posted here a few times about five years ago, just as
I was beginning my first quilt. I was slow to get started, I think
because I was scared to cut into expensive fabric without really knowing
what I was doing. I'm sure you remember how it is? ;-D
Anyway, long story short,...

10,000 people on the list. ...
