Cyndi and I went, and had a wonderful time. There were some really amazing quilts there, as well as some that made me think, "Hmmmmm.....I could do that good, or better." For the first time, the quilt guild made available a picture CD of all the quilts in the show, total cost $7.00. ...

We are swapping Fat Eighths (FE) that are measured 9x22. Please mark whether your fabric is washed or unwashed. A simple U or W will suffice. As some of us have allergies, please be careful. There are 2 different swaps. BRIGHTS and NOVELTIES. Brights can be Tone-on-Tones, Geometrics, wild,...

Anyone else notice that their viewing statistics haven't changed over the last three or four days? --Heidi http://community.webshots.com/user/rabbit2b

The Guild Challenge Jacket found on Page 3 of my album (see link below in my sig) that I was fortunate enough to win 1st Place for in the Quilted Clothing category for the challenge (as voted by my guild peers) has won again! :) Peddler's Village in Lahaska, PA has a small judged quilt show each...

I haven't posted in awhile and want to say hello to everyone. I have a little bit of a dilemma now and would like some advice. I am one of the leaders (and the only quilter) of a 4-H group quilt project for a quilt the girls have made to enter in the county youth fair next week. They did Crazy for...

Does anyone know of a place or two that carry many novelty fabrics? I'm looking for several different patterns for up comming projects. I have checked ebay without much success. Thanks for any help. Critter Comforts: Quilts for Homeless...

I am figuring to go to this show. It has grown both in quality and in size since I first exhibited with them in 1989. This years dates and times aFriday 3/11/05 from 10am - 8pm Saturday 3/12/05 from 9am - 5pm, Sunday 3/13/05 from 10am - 4pm. Location is Burbank Airport Hilton on Hollywood...

Back in 1998 I decided to keep track of the fabric I purchased and the fabric I used. Each year since I have presented the tally to the world--more specifically, to the online corner of the quilting world where I hang out. I have always cheerfully admitted to buying more than I've used, but in...

I am new to quilting and have never tried cotton batting. I want to try it in a potholder, but am wondering if it shrinks really bad when washed and should I preshrink? Or what other batting is good for potholders? Thanks, Sylvia

Root canal work this morning - long, boring, but painless! Thank goodness for that! I go back on the 24th for the final filling - same day the rat catcher is due back! The dentists did say that he was sorry it took so long, but he was working in a very small space! He said: I suppose you heard...

I've been working on the page off and on, and was going to upload it during Christmas time, but a virus seems to have attacked the file. I'm recreating it as much as I can, but I don't know if I managed to get all of the quilts and links on there. If you have a link to one or a photo of a HUG,...

in case it doesn't work, no big deal.... but I forgot to delete one of the return addresses! -- Dr. Quilter http://community.webshots.com/user/mvignali (take the dog out before replying)

Nikki's purple plaid/denim quilt is finished. After sewing that binding on for hours each day, you'd think I would remember to post about it. I have to make a label, and I have to finish the 2 patching pillows, but it is in fact done. Her birthday is tomorrow, but she'll be away in Forfar to...

I saw the roll calls and thougth I'd join back in. I had been gone for a while, popped back in briefly with the full intent of returning properly but then got waylaid again. Now, I am here to stay again! Seriously. ;-) So, the roll call is just a reminder of who we are? I'm Marijke, in Montreal,...

I have enjoyed all the pet peeves people have penned. Mine would incude: DH and 25 yr. old son always piling dirty tupperware and pans IN the sink instead of on the counter. So even before anyone can wash them, you have to move everything out of the sink to put the stopper in. DH also refuses...

There has been no change. He is still bleeding. This morning they gave him a sixth pint of blood. His right side is all one big swollen purple bruise from shoulder to knee. He can't use his right arm. The blood thinner is all out of his system, so that's not the problem now. But his...

It's snowing again - stuff from last night still lying and hasn't melted. Time to work on my birdhouse swap! -- Jo in Scotland

They've sent me two e-mails (from my website) asking me to give the information to our guild. I don't mind, but I'm curious if anyone has heard of them. You all know how careful we have to be with our charities. http://www.lifelineofhope.org/ If it's legit, I don't mind passing the info. If...

Wow..... wow. Those are just.... wow. Pat, I am a math teacher, and I'd love to show the website to my students. Could you tell me how you came up with the concept? I'd love to tell them more information about how these came to be. Again, those are just wonderful. Sheila
