Is anybody going to the Harrogate quilt show at the beginning of September? Sarah

There's a book, out in the past year, that involves putting shadows into your quilt design to give a look of depth. I can't remember the name of the book or the author and try searching Amazon.com with that missing! Can anybody help? It's not shadow quilting, it's about using fabric to give the...

and so little time. I have 4 BOM for August, 1 swap, 1 hug, and 2 challenges that are due by mid September. I hope to work on some of them tomorrow......my only scheduled day off this week. Right now I'm printing the PP foundations for one challenge. Since it's fast approaching midnight,...

here in the group of stuff we are working on or have made. betty.

Cheryl has often said that she does this now, as she is not able to do her own quilting. I am asking this question on the group, rather than e-mailing Cheryl, because I thought others might be interested in 'her' answer - and any other comments that might be generated. I am about to do this...

Has anybody dealt with Jane Kakaley of http://www.eskimo.com/~jlk/ ? A friend of mine ordered her Calla Lily Mosaic (http://www.eskimo.com/~jlk/114.htm) a few weeks ago and hasn't heard anything. Is she just kinda slow to fill orders or ... ? Apparently she just started accepting PayPal so...

I came home yesterday to find Birthday squshies in my mail box. Thank you, and thank you, and a big thank you for the purple squishie. I took a class Friday and volunteered at my LQS yesterday so it was a great Birthday. Thanks Again Diana in Dallas

Finally taking the time to write...took Pfebe to The SM Repairman Friday, and it will be 10 days before they can fix it..popped the spring again like I did just before we moved and had it fixed then:( Course it's not a 'just replace the casing' thingie like he hoped...didn't figure it was. So...

Do all you who do such *wonderful* meander style quilting have a longarm quilter, or do some/many of you do it with your sewing machine? Just curious...I love the look of it and do have a walking foot for my machine, but I wondered how difficult it is? Any quilting I've done to now, I've done by...

I needed to make a new baby girl quilt and Marsha McCloskey's 'Blended Quilts' has been calling to me for a long time. You can see her book over at Big Horn if you are not familiar with these patterns. Marsha's quilts are beautiful but entirely too sedate for what I think a baby will enjoy. I...

I would like to know how everyone feels about this subject. Not sure when it was last visited. Do you wash or not to wash your fabric before quilting? Barbara

NAYY this is the halloween recipes. http://www.mountain-breeze.com/holidays/halloween/index.html first one is called 'Liposuction Lard Dessert'. lots of others all with weird names, some might be rather interesting. main page is here. http://www.mountain-breeze.com/kitchen/index.html other...

Hey, group! Remember at Christmastime, when I announced that DH bought me an "Adopt-a-wolf" sponsorship? I went and did the interaction yesterday!!! OMG It was sooo cool, neat, fun, breath-taking!!! I didn't get to meet the wolf I sponsored, but I got to meet the rest of the pack!!! That was 5,...

Pat, What is the title of your book? sounds like it might work. Thanks, Elaine I have a book about Railroads. Some of the patterns might be adaptable. I bought it at the Rail Road Museum in

After you so kindly sent the link to the on-line printable Joanns coupon, I missed the Aug. 4 deadline. So here goes with the begging again: is there a new coupon out? Trixie

Hi all, I thought I'd just say I'm back. My trip to Brisbane went as well as it can when you think you are going to visit and end up organising a funeral. It seems my Dad had a massive heart attack so there was nothing I could have done if I had been there. Nothing my brother could have done if...

I'm sewing a simple skirt, in chambray. The stuff feels so nice; has such a nice weave and drape and is so reasonably priced I wonder why I haven't used it for quilts (of course, now I'll have scraps ;-), either for backings or just as a nice solid, almost TOT with that weave. Have I just been...

I was able to get a bunch of rhubarb for next to nothing so I made oatmeal bars (flapjacks for the UK folks). I cooked a pan of chopped rhubarb with a few handfuls of strawberries until it was nice, thick, stewed fruit. Meanwhile, I mixed a big glob of butter, about the same size of brown sugar,...

I was looking at the Joann website out of boredom- there's nothing I really "need". I looked at the June Tailor wooden thread racks (I have four of the 120 spool racks) and read some of the customer reviews. One person complained that the pegs for the spools were too short to hold the spool with...
