I am looking for a printer that will print on fabric. I would also like to be able to scan my fabric. Does any one have a printer they would suggest? What do you think of the Hewlett Packard Photosmart C5280 or C3180? Thanks

After watching a lot of HGTV programs on 'staging' a house for sale, making notes and sketches, I drove the 120 miles- one way- to Springfield to Joann's to get fabric to redecorate the master bedroom and bathroom. (No time to finish the blue and yellow log cabin quilt- it's not 'neutral'...

No one has hints about a good dark batting? Monique in TX

After giving this much thought, putting new batteries in my calculator ($3.97) and sitting down with some "adult additive" sloshed in my coffee I have come up with this formula for figuring the cost of a quilt. First, after deciding the pattern you want, and changing your mind several times,...

Okay, we need to find a good site to host my website. Any suggestions? Any warnings?? We have the domain name, need a place to put it up (and possibly someone to help set it up.) There are lots of possibilities out there, so if anyone has any good ideas please let me know. Looks like this may...

I just called Jessamy.. ( with thanks to Roberta! ) She told me she is ok.. Had a hard time because her computer died of old age and all her newly made patterns and half of her new book was on there.. You can imagine that she had a hard time with loosing that! She now has a other computer and is...

Hi all, Getting quite excited about the quilt show tomorrow. Mostly because it will be about 5 hours of ME time without two little people yelling "Mummy!" every 2 minutes. Love them to bits but we all need a break, don't we. I am signed up for two classes, one is Stained Glass patchwork and the...

Wow... what a great bunch of quilts. Makes me reasonably sure I'll never be entering any of mine in a show, but that's okay. It's always been and will be fun. Have a look at the amazing work at the show. http://www.flickr.com/photos/debikayem/sets/72157602137155951/ Enjoy! -- Debi Every saint...

I found a way to find all the listed phonenumbers of the people living in Jessamy's street.. guess what.. She is NOT listed.. her neighbours are though. (So if really needed i could call them and ask if they know anything.. but only as a last resort..) i found a post of Jessamy on august 18th...

I've had this web site bookmarked on my desk top as an icon since December 21, 1995. http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap951221.html "WOW, how the heck could I make a mural or wall hanging from THAT photo?" I click on it first thing every morning, most time it's pretty stunning. Just the colors...

Ok, I have used muslin for foundation piecing and other miscellaneous stuff. Has anyone ever used it as a background fabric? Is there a name brand or something special I should be looking for (yeah I know, thread count and feel - but I'm looking online right now)? I want a nice solid white that...

Well, I will be heading out for a Dear Jane group meeting in a little bit. From there I will be heading down to my Mom's for a few days. Be back sometime Tues. Stash will be guarded by DH and various cats who will attack you for attention. VBG Have fun, but not too much. Will catch up with...

I'm contemplating getting ready to start my DJ project. I've had the book/software for a few years now and think it's about time to make a start. I need help though to come to a decision about what background to use. I am 'thinking' using Hoffman batiks as the main fabric but can't think what...

So, Bert is off to volunteer at the community center tonight as he does four nights a month, and that means that I have about four hours to sew uninterrupted. How exciting. I go over to my sewing desk to get busy and there is a packet of computer printer fabric and one of those kits to make a...

We woke up to cloudy skies in Eureka and headed up the northern coast of California into Oregon. In Crescent City we found two antique shops that opened up by 10 a.m. on a Sunday morning. The skies were starting to clear, in Gold Beach we stumbled upon another Quilt Show! It was small but...
