I recently joined www.quiltsforsoldiers.com, making quilts for wounded soldiers. If you have heard of it, check out the site. Anyone in the SF Bay Area doing QOVs (quilts of valour)?

Reading Marina's post and replies from others in Europe, I think we need to "squish" our friends in Europe. I don't know how much we can send without customs; the packages I've sent I've valued at $10 or less. Must find out the details. LQS in SF Bay Area charges an average of $8 per yard. Best...

A friend of mine is being treated for a brain tumor. After sucessful surgery, he is now undergoing chemo and radiation. A Support Circle page was set up for him so that his status can be posted and friends and family can send messages. This is the OT portion of this post. A Support Circle can...

My truely wonderful, DH is so good as to clean up after me on occasions. Unfortunately, that means that squishies may get separated from their envelopes. I have thanked a number of you personally, but there are one or two for whom I cannot locate an email address. So to all, those who sent...

I'm looking for a fabric I think I saw at Hancock's in Chico. It is sepia tone of all the US presidents. Anyone know where I can locate a yard? -- Susan aka Betsy Ross

Are you certain it is the foot and not a bad needle? -- Susan aka Betsy Ross "Martha" wrote in message ... Hello! All of a sudden my Bernina walking foot is giving the occasional very

I am coming out of lurking because I have to tell someone, everyone about this. I just received a large package of blocks and fabrics from Martha for QOVs. Looks like enough for most of a quilt. And I have blocks that were sent in addition to those for Tyler's Hug that so many of you said could be...

Today I received beautiful blocks from: Bonnie in Bloomsbury, NJ Linda in Patchogue(sp?), NY All blocks are posted at http://community.webshots.com/album/426041188AUoVly Thanks all.

Sue hitchhiked to San Francisco and got into all kinds of trouble. Guess she was trying to relive the 60's. I've got my backgrounds done for a 12-part story. Each block will be sufficiently "evil" without the storyline. What is everyone else doing for applique? Hand? Machine? Folded...

You know, there really isn't a wide range of black quilt fabrics. I am looking for a piece that is pinstriped, like a man's dress suit. I only need a 6" piece. If you have one to share, please let me know. I will gladly try to send an exchange fabric of your choice, or a surprise...

Sally, Your June applique is fabulous. I'll have to check out your other BOMs. Here's the link to the RCTQ BOM gallery http://gallery.ppwp.com/gallery/RCTQ-BOM Susan aka Betsy Ross

Next thing is you stop using dark fabric and threads. My new prescription should be ready in a week, we'll see then. Hey, if I didn't know where the hole on my sewing machine needle is from memory it would never get threaded.! LOL. I keep a few of those cheap threaders around and a very...

I just received a large-windowed envelope from the post office with a long apology on the back for the damage to the enclosed letter. The torn up letter was, in fact, a squishie. Safe inside the plasic bag were two pieces of hand painted fabric. So never question the need for using a plastic bag...

This is my monthly pitch for www.quiltsforsoldiers.com pitch with a variation. Is anyone interested in signing on to make one 12.5-inch block a month for a Quilt of Valor? Think of the support a group quilt provides a wounded service person, knowing that people all over the country or even all...

I have received the most wonderful blocks from: Cynde in Albuquerque, NM who is a Gulf War Vet making her block extra special. Therese in Bakersfield, CA Diane in Inverness, FL Nancy in Worton, MD Michelle in Pahrump, NV Helen in Moss Point, MS

In this life I'm a woman. In my next life, I'd like to come back as a bear. When you're a bear, you get to hibernate. You do nothing but sleep for six months. I could deal with that. Before you hibernate, you're suppose to eat yourself stupid. I could deal with that too. When you're a female...
