I wouldn't machine-quilt after amnio (or do anything else that requires a sitting-up or hunched-over position). Hand quilting while reclining would probably be okay. -- Sylvia Steiger RN, homeschooling mom since Nov 1995 http://www.SteigerFamily.com Cheyenne WY, USDA zone 5a, Sunset zone 1a Home...

Well, I finished my friends HUG today and sent it to another friend to be quilted....she is more than generous to do this, but I can't comfortably quilt anything larger than a crib size quilt with accuracy. NOw I need to finish the last few squares on Baby Rebekah's quilt...if I get it done in...

Do we all have to tell our life's story on this group? A little bit about sewing and quilting is enough. DM

Um, mine used O-rings. G I have never seen a pattern. I did see some for sale that a lady had made (in gorgeous batiks), and asked about it and she said she just looked at one and made up a pattern. Well, that was no help to me (or for you!). Good luck with it! I did eventually find 2 that I...

The next morning we drove out to Auburn and found Machado Orchards. A favourite of our friend BBL-Phyllis and had peach pie for breakfast. Then we wandered around the old town and poked in a few antique shops. Found a wonderful line of Halloween ornaments in the flavour of Willie...

Our guild is making quilt blocks for the outgoing president. She picked - what I'm sure are embroidery patterns - Sunbonnet Sue pictures to be appliqued and then done with blanket stitch with black perle cotton. Some of the pieces are tiny - such as the feet and hands & tiny little leaves on the...

Woke up in Florence to cooler temperatures and dew on the car. First stop was Jodi's quilts, the shop is set back off the highway in a building that also houses a mechanic, so keep your eye out if you are looking for it. Oh, I forgot to mention that Serendipity Quilts & Crafts has a website,...

Well school is back on Thursday and DD#1 has been going for 4 years now, but DD#2 is just starting. So I have spent the day sewing in name labels and making sure that all her uniform fits - aww she looks cute, but she can't be old enough for school already, can she? It doesn't seem 5 minutes ago...

Living in a small town we don't get into the big city of Edmonton much, at least have spare time but tomorrow we are going in and I told DH I want to go window shopping at a fabric shop I've never been before. They have a website and looks like a place to go. I have nothing in particular to buy...

Well I have spent two weeks away from my parents and needless to say it is driving me bonkers. I had to return home to go back to work. The vent tube was removed on Thursday and dad is totally breathing on his own. The stomach tube is still in place as well as the trach itself. Yesterday my mom got...

I just this minute (OK, 4 minutes ago) saw a tip on Fons & Porter that I have to sha Use spray adhesive to reattach your Wonder-Under, et al., to the paper backing! -- Ruth in Happy Camp

Okay, I've lived here in CC for over a year now, but never had time or could find the 2 LQS's in this town. So, next door neighbor hauled me out today. I went to one. We were supposed to go to both, but we spent so much time in #1 - we never made it to #2. WOW. Guess the water filtration...

Just goes to show, it doesn't have to be complicated to be great. Gentle (((hugs))) for your shoulder -how did you do this? We need to know so we can avoid it. Not an occupational hazard of machine quilting I hope? Roberta in D "jules" wrote in...

Anyone have any experience with this stuff? Quite a while back, I read this fascinating article about taking silk fibers and scattering them between two layers of Solvy, then stitching wildly over them with decorative thread. Rinse away the Solvy and, voila!, you have this wonderful lacy...

Have any of you made your own chenille pannels? I am thinking of using a baby quilt panel and 3 layers of flannel but after I sew my lines and cut through the 3 layers, do I wash it then or do I put on a binding first, then wash it? or do I even put on a binding? -- Dianne Prince Edward...

Sounds like a wonderful experience! What I'd really like is a photo tour of the winners from a judge's perspective... Roberta in D "Marie Lewis" wrote in message ... Sunday, 12.20
