Hello all......just a quick question...would someone please post the location of the July BOM for me? For some reason I can't find the original email that contained it. I hope you're all doing well and quilting lots!! Thanks..... Donna in West Virginia

After the funeral for my darling mother in law. Very sad to lose her, but at least she no longer suffers. The support of the group has been wonderful in these trying times. I did take a little machine and put together a couple of quilt blocks for my birthday swap, but didn't have much heart to...

Is anyone else having trouble following the piecing directions for Castles in the Air? I got all the pieces cut out, but for the life of me I simply can't follow the directions logically. help please cyndi

http://community.webshots.com/photo/143983013/382763330anPxLO I haven't decided what to do with the borders yet. I'm tempted to do a pieced border from _The Border Workbook_ by Janet Kime. I've got less than 1/2 yard of the lighter blue background fabric left, though, so maybe a border with dark...

Hi! I want to thank Louise from Iowa for the packet I received today. It included complimentary fabrics to go with the firecracker material from Paducah. I couldn't possibly leave out that piece when making my patriotic quilt. I did indeed get permission to descend and ascend the eleven steps...

I'm sorry, but I seemed to have missed the posting on the July pieced BOM. Can someone please direct me to the right block on the website? Thanks so much. I haven't had a chance to do the June block yet, but maybe today. My husband and I just sold our restaurant on June 15th and I was very...

Some of my darling quilting friends gave me a gift certificate to the LQS, so I went over there this morning and enjoyed myself. (Tame expression -I felt like the Visigoths conquering Rome!)It was so much fun to just pick up whatever caught my eye. Bought more cream marble for the mosaic...

I am calling on the expertise out there to help me with a problem. I made a quilt for my niece that I am taking to the wedding festivities and will have it signed by everyone, then bring it home and quilt it for her. Question: Do I need to buy a bunch of Micron Archival ink pens or would fine...

from NanaV - Just to let you know, I will be "leaving" the computer world either tonight or tomorrow late morning for about two weeks. I plan to get home, straighten up a bit and then get a couple of more treatments done just before the cardiac tests. The cardiac tests will be starting toward...

Her Mom had 2 before her that weighed 10lbs abd 12 lbs. If she has a 4th It could really smart!!! Ouch.

I'm sure everyone on this group is aware of the Elm Creek quilt books. I just started reading them a week ago and I'm really enjoying them. They're not my normal taste in literature, but because I can relate to the subject matter I'm getting a lot out of them. They're well written, interesting...

I just had to share. A few weeks ago I made a list of all my UFO's and it was not pretty to see the whole list. Today I was able to check off one of the items -- Yippee! The fun part was that 2 years ago our group made friendship blocks. We gave everyone a FQ of our fabric and they made a signature...

Am I the only one who got an email from LN that said it contained the directory but had no attachment? I checked all my settings and I don't see anything that would prevent me from getting it. I also checked the headers and I don't see any evidence that Norton decided to strip it. -- Jeri "Change...

Does anyone know if gift certificates won from the Fabric Shop Hops can be transfered? I just got notification that I won a $5 gift cert from Sunbonnet Sue. Unfortunately that motif is near the top of my yuk catagory and I'd like to let someone else use it. Linda
