What I have been doing for the last weeks.!! My 2nd DS is getting married in 4 weeks. The suit hire firm were unable to match the chosen Fuchsia colour by the bride. A pleading phone call from DS asking /pleading can you make 10 Cravats and Hankies for the wedding party, resulted in the post to...

Started geetting in the uglies that some of you are sending me. I feel bad for the person who has to make something out of these. Some are just ugly and some are really ugly. Good job and thanks so much.

Our Quilt group had the bi annual Exhibition on 3rd June. I was nt able to be there this time as DH had a large number birthday and wanted to go away, we went to Ireland and it was great fun. To keep it relevant ,I entered into the Challenge my book titled WH. "The Old Man and the Sea", and won...

My guild turns 30yo in 2011, so our new challenge is "30s". The one hard and fast rule is the size: 30x30. Here's my first design on webshots; images of 30 of my quilts in chronological order... http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/photo/2399958150049789727CvwDqQ I think I might do a "30yo...

Thanks to everyone who suggested I check out Le Rouvray. I discovered the shop's owner is actually from Michigan (although she has been living in France for several decades!) I didn't meet her -- but her assistant was wonderful. I bought 5 meters of the loveliest blue & yellow Provence...

I had my name and information withdrawn from Face Book over a year ago and am still getting dirty mail in my personal e-mail box nearly every day. It is disgusting and I guess the only way around it would be to change my name. I've never enjoyed little quips of information even from my...

I seem to remember there used to be posts here from a fellow who would write about his wife's quilting adventures, and add a link to his web site for pictures of the latest quilt, and more stories etc. The posts tended to be rather humerous and I enjoyed reading them, and today for some strange...

We've been searching for a position where we can work together, preferably in Oregon, for the past 9 months. Today we were told, you're the ones. bg We don't have a start date yet but we will be the management team at a motel on the Oregon coast. --...

I had my EQ7 up and showed my 9 year old granddaughter. I explained some simple stuff to her and she designed a fish quilt from the applique designs and had a blast coloring the fish with the fabrics from the programs library. It's like a coloring book without crayons.

I loaded EQ7 and started looking at it, so much stuff it's unbelievable. I told my husband I will never sew a quilt again, I will just sit and design and color blocks. I just looked at the basics. Have any of you actually designed a quilt and made it. The ladies in my guild haven't made a quilt...

HELP We've gotten our new computer set up and ready to transfer all the "stuff" to it..... (We're currently using Windows XP and I use Outlook Express for email/newsgroups) BUT.... in going over all the old emails concerning the switch to Win7, they refer to switching from that "other newer"...

I am about halfway through a quilt, and thinking about stopping even though the rest of it is cut out and ready. Is that a sacrilege or what??!! It's not pretty and once I decided that, it seems like a waste of time to finish. (and a waste of fabric not to) But! I have figured out what's wrong...

Hello from an "oldie" returning once again to the fold! DD#1 needs a dresser scarf and end table scarf to protect her new bedroom furniture from scrapes and scratches. I found the perfect tone-on-tone floral fabric for the top, a matching solid for the bottom, and a stunning green for the binding...

Louise posted that she'd finished a quilt that was 7 years in the making. I'm curious how long we hold onto UFOs before they get finished or declared 'unfinishable'? I have my very first quilt top- queen sized- with a bit of hand quilting in the center. I made the top- finished the whole...

I am in an ugly fabric challenge. My guild gave us a gift bag that we are supposed to fill with ugly fabric and notions. then in September all the bags will be on a table and we go pick on not knowing what is inside or who it is from. then in October we will get instructions on what we have to do....

Hello all Well, I need your ideas on something that is both quilting and non-quilting related, but that combines very well. Even if you are not a techie, I still need your ideas for content. I think that most of us have an idea of what Apps are, when it comes to those little mini-programs on...
