Small happy dance :) and up-coming trip by
Sandy Foster
Thursday, our local quilt circle got together to make quilted jackets.
We'd done some last year, but these were different. I used some pretty
oriental-style fabrics to cover the sweatshirt that was the base of this
jacket, and I think it turned out fairly well -- though a bit busier
than I'd...

Sindir
Hello all! I joined this group a while back, but unsubscribed because I
"gave up" on quilting for a while.
I have just started a square block scrap quilt for my son. It's just a

together. I just purchased the batting and...

projects or quilty things, just some pages of things like different seam
types and neatening methods. Probably more use to the new sewing folk
than the old hands. Hit the URL below and go to Kate's Sewing Room:

Klutz glove by
Joe and Maria
The only reason I ask is a good friend of mine just cut the tip of her
finger off with her rotary cutter. She is a very careful person, but the
blade slipped (plus it was brand new) and cut the tip off her index finger
diagonally from the nail bed to the center of the finger tip. Fortunately
she...

Sorting Stash by
frood
Instead of being hidden in another thread, let's pull this topic out and see
what happens!
How do you sort your stash? By color? By style? By size? By date acquired?
I sort by color and size. Sort of. The majority of my stash is pieces less

ot - bra sizes by
LN \(remove NOSPAM\)
Have you ever wondered why A, B, C, D, DD, E, F, G, and H are the letters
used to define bra sizes?
If you have wondered why, but couldn't figure out what the letters stood
for, it is about time you became informed!
{A} Almost Boobs.
{B} Barely there.
{C} Can't Complain!
{D} Dang!

I'm so excited!
I had heard on the radio about what I thought was a quilt show in my town.
So I went to check it out and it turned out to be a quilting machine demo
(you know, those attachments you can get that turn your machine into a
long-arm quilting machine.) But I asked the ladies there if...

Halloween II, the Sequel is in the washer right now! After quilting
skeletons (Spike and Giles were the models) into the body of the quilt, and

I have been thinking about getting quilting software at some point in
the near future, so today's Simply Quilts was really timely.

do you find it...
