I saw the Gingerbread lady today (the one who wrapped her gingerbread for our Summer Sale in Press 'n Seal. Unfortunately she is just recovering from knee surgery and said it had affected her brain too! As far as she can remember it is called Press 'n Seal and she bought it at either Lidl or...

Hi Everyone, Been awhile since I posted but just got back from a tour of California. I drove all the way down to San Diego, stopping to visit with some friends and family along the way. I've done a travelogue again. Didn't stop at every quilt shop, but managed to hit quite a few along the...

The next morning we drove up to Arroyo Grande, the Quilt Attic wasn't quite opened so we walked along the main street and over the bridge taking in the sites. Just as we were ready to leave she arrived to open the shop. She has some neat samples in her window. One of a snowball quilt done...

Back on the road after a great family visit, we drove down highway 99 through various small towns. In Bakersfield we decided to try and get to San Diego that very day. But the day ran out and it got too dark to continue so at about 9 p.m. we found a hotel in Oceanside. We were about 30 miles...

Six of us quilters are meeting Tuesday for three days of quilting and fun in Duck, NC. We are celebrating everyone's birthday during the entire year, and working on a quilty project. We plan to eat, drink, sew, soak in the hot tub, walk the beach, celebrate, shop and have fun....maybe not in...

I just bought a new Rowenta (made in China) at Penneys that I'm going to return. It doesn't get very hot & doesn't really put out much steam. I have an old Rowenta that gets really hot, puts out a lot of steam, but spits water. I've probably had this one for 7 or 8 years. The model # on it...

My Card-Tricks wall-hanging is on the bathroom wall, complementing my towels and motivating me to keep the clutter out of there. I've done some Stack and Whack blocks - some are good, some are boring, and some are the wrong size or shape. Here are some of the pretty ones. And my big purple thing...

My daughter is a competition dancer. For the past few years her dance studio has held fundraising events for breast cancer. This past spring, the studio hosted a performance in a local college, where many studios got together to perform, and ticket sales and proceeds of raffles, etc. went to the...

I put my breaking thread query on the Janome Yahoo group and got an e-mail reply from Sarah Ann Smith, so I went to look at her gallery. Wow!! I particularly fell for her Koi quilt. Now I know how to do double sided! http://www.sarahannsmith.com/index.php -- Sally at the...

Hi all Haven't posted much all summer as life has been very full and quilting just hasn't fit in anywhere. I think possibly the last time I posted was to announce the birth of baby Sara, back in June. She was grandbaby #25 for DH & I. On Sept 5th baby Alyssa Marianne was born, #26. Two more are...

I have shopped here at Material Pleasure many times- great service and very fair shipping rates. Here's what her email ad says (she is also a Leslie!)- Today (Monday) is the last day to take advantage of our End of Summer Sale! All fabrics $6.00 per yard with a 1 yard minimum! Since this is a...

I have some Christmas fabric that I found reduced, I'm just planning what to do with it. One piece is stripy, I'm just wondering if anyone had any ideas for what to do with it - I think I know the various options for binding, I'd also thought of using it for the border, either mitered, or with...

I think I must be missing something when I buy thread, I never seem to see any of the brands that people have mentioned on here as being good, I think someone was raving about Aurafil recently, but whilst I found that brand, I couldn't spot any cotton threads. The thread I am using for piecing...

I'm new to all of this. I live in Woodstock Georgia. I have made two baby quilts. But I'm falling in love with quilting. I spend most of my time doing machine embroidery. Which is my real passion. That and collecting fabric. I love sewing baby items. I love babies. My baby days are...
