I just finished a quilt for my great niece. It was from Quiltmaker magazine, and the minute I saw it, I knew exactly who to make it for. Those monkeys were just so darned cute! Here are a couple of pics if you'd like to take a...

Second fleecy-backed quilt finished for baby Reuben. A cheater panel but I love the colours and it fmq-ed so easily - it was so flexible to move around compared with a proper sandwich. Now I can get back to the ufo''s hiding in the chest - but where to start!! Last in the Finished 2012...

DDIL thoroughly safely hid her best scissors. For good reason. Naturally I loaned her my favorites until hers appear. Which, woe, forces me to buy a new pair of scissors. Any reason at all will do just fine but it is not easy. I find that there a knife edge, serrated edge, serrated knife...

Have you got your life vest ready? We are daily getting scattered rain blowing in from the coast. Last night was a frog strangler! Barbara in SC, up close to the mountains.

How can all of you be on computers and yet be a WebTv Discussion group? If a person uses a computer they can't access a WebTv group. I don't get it. I know I can't access any of your photos because they aren't on jpg attachments that webtv uses. What am I missing?

I saw this panel and it just jumped into my arms. http://www.azquilts.com/cgi-bin/Store/store.cgi?cart_id=7858232.17768.s0&product=Northcott_Stonehenge&productid=NOSH3979-139&page_number1=2&keywords1=stonehenge&index=97&sales=0&lastmenu= Gee, I hope that's the panel and not a list of active...

I haven't managed to drop in properly for months, and I haven't set a quilting needle to my quilt for Ruby the Great Niece for weeks. Jolly Dicey have been busy, which is good. And I thought my latest adventure would amuse... This is a doublet for a customer: 20 body sections 20 tab...

Well, Quilty Friday with the teacher friends got off to a bumpy start. No real start time was mentioned, and I figured that most of them have animals to tend to, i.e. horses, dogs, etc, so they would be up fairly early, so I dragged myself out of bed a couple of hours earlier than usual in the...

I just had a crazy idea floating around in my lil' blonde pea brain and I need some input- tossing around some ideas. Say you have an blank area on a wall. You have various sized quilts you'd like to display there at different times, but you don't want to mar the wall more than necessary. At...

During the Minnesota Quilt Show, I took a workshop from Maxine Rosenthal on making hollow cubes. It was fun and much easier than it looks. I finished 8 different cubes during the class. I like the way she fits them into her "One Block Wonder" quilts, but I'm just going to add enough fabric...

I squared up a bunch of 5 1/2" squares and sewed two of them together, then two more together, etc. When I went to sew them into a 4 square block I find that they are not all the same size. Why? I tried so hard to get them all squared. Is there anything I can do to make all these into a plain...

DDinL has requested a fleece backed quilt to be used like a shawl. 'Quick as a flash' (!) I have constructed a Warm Wishes(ish) quilt to the dimensions specified, have purchased fleece and am just sandwiching it (no batting so it will be more flexible). I am going to baste rather than pin I...

A friend of mine is fixing to move and is spreading this: Would anyone like a manual sewing machine with table top? Old fashioned singer. Good working order, but upgraded to electric as I learned more. Pick up from Cambridge. Let me know if anyone is interested, although she'd probably try her...

Hi All, I usually just lurk and really enjoy the posts. I've gotten lots of inspiration from your photo sites and help with problems from the posts. Thanks lots!!! Now for my reason for posting--I've completed the mall crawl except for one shop The Thrifty Needle. I think I've gone to every page of...

Howdy! I've been rootling thru' the same scraps for years. PLEASE, please take some of these off my hands, out of my baskets, into your stash. Send me a note, add your address, I'll send you a bag of these pretty things. It's potluck: use what you like, do as you please with them. Just...

Posts are NOT showing up until 4 days later. My post to the group isn't showing on my compie altho it does say it was 'sent' (but where?). Guru has been here 2x's already. So far, he has gotten the size of type to REMAIN the same for more than 2 days. Even put new batteries in. I never know from...

Hi all Long time, no post. So, school is out, officially, but the work continues. What was supposed to be an easy close-up of the year to simply stack chairs in my classroom/computer lab ended up with everything in cabinets except the computer CPUs to be taken downtown to be updated, instead...

Women are Angels. And when someone breaks their wings... They simply continue to fly. On a broomstick. They are flexible like that. Leslie & The Furbabies in MO.
