Last year I bought some tone on tone cream ghost fabric,it was made by RJR or MODA, I need 3 more yards. if anyone sees this print, could you let me know the telephone # of the shop? thanks!!!!

I've just pulled and all-night session to get a job finished for a customer! Skirt, beaded shawl, top, all in black and scarlet silk dupion.*I* think they look yummy - hope the customer likes them! I shall go to bed after she has collected at 8 am! James can wake me up for lunch! Nice thing...

You might want to pre-wash any fabrics to be used for holiday stitching if you want them to be merry and bright. The brilliant reds and greens I used for placemats and table runner bled and faded to muddy toast. Probably this could happen with any other color plan if you are into a magenta and...

Ever since I have been out of the hospital (mid April) for the last time, laying in bed with my sewing machine doing embroidered quilt blocks has been a good thing for me. So I decided it was time to try my hand at digitizing some of my own designs. Well right now I am stitching away at my...

Thanks to all of you who responded to my request for strength. We held Miss Paisley as she slipped into a sweet sleep at 7pm tonight. She gave kisses and buried her head into my DHs arm. We felt her last heart beat and let her go to be with our Brandy who has been waiting for her since...

well despite the discomfort there was no result for the allergy skin test - that is to say no allergies showed up. initial blood tests have shown house dust mite, grass pollen (my mother had this too) and birch tree's but not all results are back. chocolate is still a "good" food for me WOOO...

Well, it's just about the end of a hot August, and it's time to cool down, both from the heat and finishing the new quilt. Popser's story tells what happened, and the quilt is up with gratitude, so I think I''ll go to the beach and watch the waves make quilts on the sand. Something like...

I have no words, Terri. And I only read a few snippets - couldn't manage the whole. Let us hope that, somehow, the world of the south comes out a better place than it has now become. I'm not judging, just hoping. .. In message , Terri ...

What a great day! I hope tomorrow at the new job is just as nice. My eyes are still bugged out from reading $1 a yard fabrics! The store near me that just went out of business only marked down 25 percent off. Not such a deal when I get that when I teach. Oh well. marcella In article...

Funny how some things come up when you are least expecting it. I just got a call from my sister. Someone she knows saw one of the quilts I made for her daughter a few Christmas' ago. She asked my sister to give me a call to find out how much I would charge her to make one for her like it. I...

I know someone posted a link to the amount of fabric you need for a twin size, queen size, etc quilt. I am making both grandchildren quilts for Christmas, and I don't want a lot of extra yardage. My granddaughters quilt will be the map of the United States fabric that I bought at Wal-Mart. I...

I keep hearing that there is a way to purchase a CD with instructions or block drawings that correspond with The Civil War Diary Quilt book by Rosemary Youngs. Where would I buy a copy of the CD ( I already own the book) ? I emailed the publisher and did not receive a response. I have heard that...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kA2g5OxxFHQ this one is from one of the re-enactments we did this summer, its only a minute long, wait for the columns of French troops to pass, then watch for the two cannons in the botom right corner - my cannon is the second one to fire (yep, the louder one!)...

My older daughter went to Japan and Italy this summer. She brought me some quilty things from Japan but couldn't find anything in Italy during her 3 weeks travelling all over. The other daughter went to Amsterdam, Oxford, and Paris and couldn't find anything quilty. Are there quilters over there...

Just got back from the Alaska State fair. Over 300 quilts in the show this year. I was brave again this year and entered a quilt. In the wallhanging, hand appliqued, machine quilted category I received a First place blue ribbon. Very exciting. Was talking to one of the workers and she said...
