I washed and ironed several miles of fabric! Well, yards anyway! Felt like miles when I was ironing it, but I watched the Midsommer Murders while doing it. 2.5 m of 60" wide with kitty faces all over 3 m of green leaves 3 m yellow pebbly stuff 3 m of green/grey pebbly stuff 2'n'abit m of fruit 1...

Gee, this is supposed to be a site to promote good health, a cure and so on. IMO, it should be USER friendly! I have no idea how to switch to Internet Explorer .... don't even know if I have that or what. Also, they sure asked for a lot of information ... why do they need my name, and so on just to...

Hi everyone, Well, I did it! I made it solo to all of the 22 shops in both the south and north divisions of the So Calif Quilters Run. Now all I have to do is wait for the drawings :-) First, I have to admit I was a little lax in starting the second part of the run--because I waited to the last...

Are there any models anywhere for raffle tickets (for a quilt, of course--but maybe the model wouldn't need be so specific?) Like, should they be numbered--does it matter? I assume they should always be two parts--one for the buyer to keep, the other with their name and phone for the drawing. Are...

Hi everyone, I haven't posted much since I joined last year--been too busy trying to absorb all the knowledge here and work on my mostly small projects. A few months ago, I happened to pick up a flyer at my LQS for the Southern California Quilters' Run, which made no sense to me at first. ...

Hiya folks, Mat is in LA for the next week, working with the US side of the company. He probably won't have time to fabric shop, but could you tell me of LA shops anyway? I'll send him a list of shops and addresses, he might find something... -- Jo in Scotland
