OT - time for an update by
Queen of Squishies
I have survived driving in all kinds of Midwest weather for 12 days, some of
which scared me to death. But I did it! : )
DH's blood is coming into the range they want it, but very slowly. That's
fine, I know this will work itself out. He has lost a great deal of the use
of his right arm. He's...

OT giggle by
maryd
This is a true story If you have children you will probably relate to
this father.
As ham sandwiches go, it was perfection.
A thick slab of ham, a fresh bun crisp lettuce and plenty of
expensive, light brown, gourmet mustard.
The corners of my jaw aching in anticipation, I carried it
to the ...

Pat in Virginia
Heads up, you sleepy heads on the NA sunset coast!
Today's Simply Quilts show featured Treadle SM. the
guest (Donna Something?) explained how to clean and
restore the SM. She demonstrated how she quilts on the
treadle. She even taught how to make ruffles on it. Way
cool. If you hurry you might...

Send me a toddler by
Polly Esther
I need one to make something sticky.
Because I bring to quilting some minor challenges - one eye, weak knees
and a limited attention span, to mention a few, I thought it would be very
helpful to have a real cover on my design wall. Up until now, it was covered
with $1 a yard polyester terry cloth....

OT - That caramel recipe by
Johanna Gibson
Hello,
This is from my Better Homes and Gardens cookbook, so I will put
American terms on the left and UK terms in parentheses. I didn't
weigh things as I went, so I hope the UK folks interested have a US
measuring cup in the house!
Caramels:
1 cup butter (a standard package of butter in the UK...

TANish...Paint Stain? by
[email protected]
I need some help. We painted barn boards (don't ask) last
weekend, and I ended up with a big blob of paint on the butt of my
brand new jeans. I washed the whole load, my clothes, dh's and dd's
clothes together in cold water, and none of the paint came out.
Can you think of a way to spot treat...

my sewing machine's miraculous recovery! by
Marijke
I just got The Phone Call. I'd been waiting anxiously all day. How was my
Iris doing?
She pulled through. It was but a minor ailment, easily managed by the tender
loving care of the visiting technician. She has been restored! Her scratched
bobbin case was filed smooth and her timing is now on...

Quilted Happy Dance! by
frood
It's not DONE, but the quilting is finally finished on Spike's I Spy
quilt!!! The final border is stipple quilted, and I hate stippling! This is
a 2-sided, twin size quilt (could there be any other size for Spike and
Giles). At this point, I'm moving on to the quilting on Giles' I Spy quilt.

When watercolor kits first became available there was a kit with a
watercolor background and three black silhouetted crosses appliqued
onto the background. Does anyone else remember this kit or am I
dreaming? Was it in a book? I have done a google search with no
reward. If anyone can send me in the...

scrap quilt question by
Helen in MN
I have a lot of long strips from about 5 years of quilting. They are a
mixture of traditional, moda-style, and batiks- no 30's repros though. I
will leave out the kids prints.
I'm thinking there's enough for me to just start making log cabin blocks.
Will it drive me crazy if I mix all these...

new scrap project by

The Black Hole scrap basket is nearing critical mass, time to do a crazy

bit differently than before. I cut 6" squares of batting scraps. Then laid
out fabric scraps on top of them in a random collage to cover all...

Rotary Cutter Case Pattern (ISO) by

Does anyone know of a rotary cutter case pattern that is free online? I have
googled but what comes up is patterns for eye glass cases which are made
using a cutter. It needs to hold both the 45mm and the 30?mm at the same
time. Ideally it will be a pieced and quilted case, just to justify...
