Ok, so I know I've whined about machine quilting many times. Today I started and finished the border on the "leaf" quilt I'm making for my future DIL! I have collected machine quilting patterns for quite some time, but hadn't yet actually used one for a project. Now I have! I found a leaf...

I know many of us can't stand the thought of looking at more snow, but I uploaded a few pictures I took during and after just one of our many storms. I was struck by the way the snow stuck to the trees and looked just like the Royal Icing that is used to make gingerbread houses. I guess we had...

This afternoon I was lucky and could visit an exhibition of Amish Quilts. It was the same , Roberta in Munich has told about. The quilts are incredible. If you imagine some fabrics alone, they are dull and boring, but these women put them together and the quilts sparkle and shine. And these...

Your email server is being naughty again. I responded to your mail about changing the format of my copy of the diretory (my machine won't open it either), and the mail was returned saying your account had been suspended for "abuse". Must be they are pegging you for a spammer based on bytes mailed...

I'm sitting here with feet propped up and a cold Diet Coke in my hand!! Our quilt show ended today and I had a blast being on the committee (co-chairman for the white glove folks). But we have been going non stop for three days--setting up, working and taking down. It was my first time being on...

Thank y'all for alllllll your hints and suggestions. I went back to the EQ Forums and read everything I could find about EQ5 and any issue. Turns out that Microsoft Windows Update KB943460 was the problem. Electric Quilt could no longer read folder names or filenames with spaces. All the...

I received word tonight that I won yet another $10 gift certificate in the fabshophop. I am debating whether to buy 2m of ready-to-dye fabric for $16 or the new Marti Michell Kaleidoscope book for $22 - anything less than $25 goes for the $5.50 postage in Canada - decisions,...

What brand did you buy????... "Lenore L" wrote in message ... OK, someone mentioned it...........I got some today and really like it. I got just the foundation and finishing and some eye shadow. Nice stuff. Seems...

I came home from a short work trip yesterday to a delightful squishy with the Halloween and "other" blocks. Thanks so much! One of our quilters is excited about them. I'm taking them over tomorrow. A child in foster care will love the product(s)! Thanks so much. Lenore

I just had a friend stay for a couple nights while on her way to her daughter's baby shower this weekend. She had made a dust ruffle and curtains for the nursery and with some online and phone help from me, she made a cute little quilt top comprised of 5" blocks on point that's where I came...

Hello! Mid Atlantic Quilt Festival is scheduled for this week in Hampton, Virginia. It will be in the very nice Hampton Convention Center. If you previously attended the MAQF in Williamsburg, you remember that the Show was spread out in several facilities. I am happy to say that it is now in ONE...

Been up all night because of the weather here in Mississippi. Several months ago I purchased an All Hazards Alert Radio made by Midland. The cost was under 30 dollars. I hate it when this thing goes off because of the loud alarm. I have it sitting in the dining room and can hear it in my...

Has anyone read the April, 2008, issue of Quilters Newsletter? If you have it and haven't yet read it, turn to page 36, where you'll see our own Tutu's two-color version of the Dear Jane quilt! Beautiful, Tutu, just *beautiful*! :D -- Sandy in Henderson, near Las Vegas sw.foster1 (at) gmail...

I'm sorry Marie, but every time I look at the subject line in this message, I see Gladys Knight and the Pips - LOL Rita L. Marie Dodge wrote: I need a backup machine anyway so hoofed it off to Wally World and bought a real cheap Singer for $98. The bobbin is the pits to reach and change...

My step-son just returned from Africa (Tanzenia) and brought me back some great gifts, all fabric/art. I like reptiles and have a few in my sun room, so the art is appropriate. I hope you will visit my webshots and see. I am so pleased. http://community.webshots.com/album/562583552YgcOqf

This was sent to me this morning - Enjoy, jennellh. 1*Women over 50 don't have babies because they would put them down and forget where they left them. 2*One of life's mysteries is how a 2-pound box of chocolates can make a woman gain 5lbs.
