What about adding a photo? -- Susan aka Betsy Ross

I would love the pattern for the beautiful six-pointed star you sent. It is great. Please reply by email. Thanks. Susan

I got the hint. Some take objection to my listing the gracious folks who have sent blocks for Tyler's Hug/Quilt of Valor. Instead, I will look up email addies as I can to send personal notification. NOBODY should ever be hurt or embarrassed for participating/not participating in any Hug. RCTQ...

It's been a quiet day!! We celebrate on Christmas Eve with all the kids and grands here. On Christmas Day DH and I are home alone.....to rest and relax....my favorite day of the year. I had a nice long nap. Woke up to more snow!! Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and the Best New Year to all of...

Message bearing Kate G's name and Christmas Quilt.

Does anyone here know anything about a Universal sewing machine? I saw one at a garage sale this morning for $25. I thought it was a Singer at first---it was older black one with the gold filigree just like the Singers. There is one on Ebay right now advertised as a Singer Universal. Yes, Diana, I...

They have retail stores in some areas too. I shop at one in St. Paul, MN--and it is my best source for quilting books. Betty "M. Wetmore" wrote in message ... Hi All: I just found a great new source for quilt books:

Has anyone used or seen this machine? What do you think of it? Betty http://www.handiquilter.com/html/sixteen.html

This is way off topic, but my problem at the moment. To shorten crinoline, can I just cut off? or do I need to hem it? Thanks in advance.....I'm a quilter, not a seamstress. Betty in WI http://community.webshots.com/user/bertevans

That's what I like.....the art of making do! Good job. Betty in WI "mini Mini" wrote in message ... Today I made 48 blocks for a lap quilt for my grandmother!!! Yes, TODAY!!!! I'm so proud! You can see it here. ...

I don't think I've seen a discussion of this here...correct me if I'm wrong. But, what are your opinions of the cordless irons? All my quilting friends have them and really like them. I've tried theirs and am not sold! I don't think they steam enough, they don't hold enough water, and for those...

Doing the happy dance here! I won a prize on the Quilter's Mall Crawl yesterday. A fabric panel and 12 coordinating fat quarters! And I had visited only 4 shops! I guess that makes up for the times I visited all the shops and won nothing. Betty in WI

Just curious....have you made anything with your vintage (50's and 60's) fabric? I have been picking it up really reasonable. I volunteer at a flea market (during the summer months) and no one seems to want the 36" wide cottons. I also like to pick up vintage quilting books--most that I have...

Someone posted here awhile ago looking for black and white stripe. I think she wanted 1/4" stripe. Cotton Club has a 3/8" black and white stripe that they just got in. URL is: http://www.cottonclub.com/cgi-bin/Store/store.cgi?cart_id=38495.27391&lastme nu=submenu-1400.html&product=BW_1 Betty in WI

All you costume sewers out there.....you must have run across this problem. How did you handle it? My DGD brought me her dance costume pants to hem. Simple, right? Wrong? The tag says they are made of Lycra and are dry clean only. Well, they are shiney, slippery, and stretchy....kind of like...

Horray! The ghosts and goblins left a Halloween squishie is my mailbox. Sender thanked privately.

This morning in the St. Paul Pioneer Press in a column called Everyday Cheapskate..... Apparently some time ago someone wrote in and asked what they could do with fabric scraps and a small organization in Texas that makes quilts for shelters, churches and other charities said they would take them....

I saw a quilt the other day at our LQS that was made with this fabric. The middle section of the quilt was a whole panel of this fabric. It had borders around it. At the top, there was a "border print" border (companion fabric). Betty "QUILTKITTY" wrote in...
