I just got notice that my wall hanging was chosen for the "Voice that is Mighty Within Me" road show. I have no idea what venues it will show in or for how long, or anything else. All I know is that once it leaves my hands next week it won't be home for two years. It has a price tag and I sorely...

I just updated Webshots. The first 7 quilts in the 2008 album are my entries into the Kingston Show. I also re-made the dragon quilt, and sold it at the boutique. Won't know how much I made for a while - have to give them time to get the books balanced. With 2 guilds at the same show, some things...

WHY GOD MADE MOMS Answers given by 2nd grade school children to the following questions: Why did God make mothers? 1. She's the only one who knows where the scotch tape is. 2. Mostly to clean the house. 3. To help us out of there when we were getting born.

In Edna's post about uneven flying geese there was a discussion about which should be on the bottom, the pieced section or the unpieced section. I have always heard that the larger (in this case longer) piece should be on the bottom because the feed dogs help ease in the extra fabric. Alex Anderson...

A while back I mentioned that I will be hosting a swap for bird seed/bird house fabrics after the first of the year. We will be swapping twenty 8" x 10" squares of 2 fabrics per swapper: 1) something that looks like bird seed (pretty small scaled) 2) something that looks like a bird...

We had a snow day today, which was very surprising, since we really didn't have snow. But, I guess they had to make the call by 4 am and then it was snowing hard and they were predicting snow and sleet and ice. Well, my principal asked me to recreate a project I did last year and she lost. I had...

I was wondering where you were; glad to know there was nothing 'new' wrong. Coincidentally, we saw a few snippets of the current state of New Orleans in our news bulletin at lunchtime. It doesn't take much of an imagination stretch to think what the rest of Louisiana, and the other badly affected...

Hello, Just found this newsgroup and I hope someone can help me.... We're going to Wales in the summer and I would like to visit some quiltshops. Who knows some adresses? -- Greetings from the Netherlands, Maya

Jan: Thanks for the report. I will keep my eye out for Jane Kennedy quilts. It is inspiring to see good MQ done on regular home machines. LOL about the LA quilter ... you need to make up business cards to hand out. Would have been fun to see her face when she received one!! PAT in VA/USA Jan wrote:

I have read this before in a post ages ago that sewing on a treadle machine can make one "sexually aroused" It has a small effect on me but does wonders for my husband when I sew on it, he gets really turned on and I cant figure out why? Anyone got an answer for this?

No surgery. Postponed for a good 3 months for now. I was working my way up in hours of walking without das boots.....snapped the bone just above the 'plate' area. I was being extremely careful and KNOW I didn't bang it or drop anything on it. In the long run, I'm glad it was that and NOT a...
