Hi all, I get really confused when I look at a lot of US based quilting sites as everything is measured in feet and inches. At school we were taught in metric only - although here in the Uk we still talk of distances in miles and weight in pounds. All shops sell by the metre (not the yard) and...

It looks like I may be spendning most of June in the Alton, Hampshire vicinity. Any suggestions of palces to go and things to do? Elizabeth

sorry - I gave the wrong email address for the request for a printable coupon - it is sorry to be a pest :-) Sharon

Thank you everybody for the kind welcome notes ! I tell my mother that you liked her hexagonquilt, she'll love that ! I surfed to a few photoalbums and you too make great quilts ! I remember a ''kaleidoscope monster'', a rose sampler and a tulipquilt, all the quilts I saw were beautiful ! Susan,...

Hi All!! I'm an outdoor enthusiast interested in sewing some of my own gear. Most gear mfgs are over engineering their goods in order to add more features to charge more $$$s, so I think I can sew my own with quality materials at a fraction of the cost. I plan on sewing a sleeping bag/quilt...

From the group rec.crafts.textiles.needlework in the MD/VA/DC are has sprung a monthly meeting where we get together and stitch and eat and talk and generally have a great time. I was wondering if there were any groups like that with quilters (other than guilds that is) consisting of folks from...

I got this from the university tech site and I thought a few people here could be interested; in fact didn't we discuss Fibronacci's series a while ago? E-RESOURCE: MathSciNet Foiled by the Fibonacci sequence? Stymied by string theory? When things just don't add up, search MathSciNet, the American...

SUGGESTIONS!! See deck of cards block in my Snigs Album. It's my next UFO to complete. I have 20 blocks exactly alike and have no idea about how to set them together. I'm tired tonight and my brain is just mush or grits or something equally thick and bland. See pix #1 in my Snigs webshot...

To all who still have me in mind and to Snigdibbly whose blocks arrived today, I had enough blocks to complete this hug with Wednesday's mail. I stayed up until one this morning putting all the blocks together. I am emailing a photo to Teri right now. Thanks to all who sent blocks. As this was...

For those that missed the other posts, I feel the need to make HUG quilts for the survivors of the Red Lake School Shooting here in Minnesota. The shooting took place on the Red Lake Band of Ojibwe Reservation in Northern Minnesota. Anyone who would like to help here are the details: I found out...

I am looking for a sewing machine for my wife's grace quilter. I am looking for one with a deep throat like 7 to 8 inches on it. But I can not afford 300.00 for a machine. Does anyone know of any less expensive machines that have a deep throat on it? -- Thanks, Gregg

I had to do something while I was waiting for the extra yards of fabric I needed to finish my last quilt, and during that time I started a new quilt. When I finished the last quilt, I went back to this one. As usual, I had to get in the right mood. I had to get into the quilt, into knowing the...

Check out this site. I have DSL and the connection and sound are great. http://www.quiltersnewsnetwork.com/

Just finished this one of panda bears. I am donating to the long term care where I work as the main walls are pretty sparse. The pics were taken before washing so it has lots of lint and thread and hasn't been pressed but I'm still happy with it. I did machine quilt this one as the girls were...

We will (fingers crossed) be moving at the end of the summer. In the new house DH is going to let me have a large portion of the unfinished basement as my sewing room. I am starting to think about the design of the room and was wondering if there were some good books or other resources to help me...

My sister-in-law lost the baby. Not sure if there is anything I can do other than offer sympathy. Probably not. Hrm. I wonder if mum can help me find a spa/masseuse in the area that will do a gift cert for her? Or if I should just "write a coupon" for babysitting service. -georg

I just finished a quilt top for a friend of mine. She is having a baby soon. Take a look. http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/dopeytaz/album?.dir=/21e5&.src=ph&.tok=phz1l7CBpKo0MmqO Let me know if the link works, if not I will try to invite the whole group to see the album. Traci in Pa
