Amy, I tried to send you a squishie but it was returned. If you privately email me the correct address I will try again. Susan

Well, the blocks are coming in and both Shirley and her daughter Linda are thrilled! Linda can't wait to come see her mom now to see what arrived in the mail! You all are great. It has truly cheered both of them. Please keep the blocks coming. I saw a few and they are gorgeous! Hey Polly,...

She doesn't post or read but she's one of our own. She helped put together our beloved, bedazzling, bewitching Butterfly's HUG. Ask our beloved, be-feared, Red Queen, Judy Grevenites about this sweet lady. We were quite a team that weekend! Here's a picture (Butterfly's HUG) and what part...

Well, let's see....I'm doing the Red Lake project which I'll be updating you on soon (and I'm driving again)...Shirley's HUG (and I'm driving again)...I just finished a lap quilt for Shirley and Dolly from the people in the apartment building (and I'm driving again)...have most of the...

DH got me two huge hanging baskets for outside. DS #1 is bringing me something home from Europe. DS#2 bought me a dvd/vcr player for my work area. DD made me a bouquet of fabric flowers. Plus I got to spend the day at the Cardinals game where they kicked some major butt that day. -- Cindy from MO

I'm getting ready to list one of my sewing machines on eBay, and I'm trying to decide if it's better to have the auction START on a weekend, or END on a weekend. Starting on a weekend offers more potential buyers right up front, but ending would have more potential for last minute bidding wars....

Totally coincidentally to all the Celtic Knotwork Block posts that have been on here I have been working on one of my own for sometime. I just finished it for delivery this Sunday just passed. It is a gift to my parents for their 40th wedding anniversary. It was a super fun quilt to do and I am...

Hi All, Just wanted to let you know that I may be silent for awhile - my DH received a triple bypass yesterday and I'm spending quite a bit of my time at the hospital. This came out of nowhere but he's doing fantastic. I'll be sitting an stitching at his bedside - please send good...

What do you get if you cross a horse with a skunk?

My wife is new to quilting, but enjoying it a great deal. Last night she said she would love to get a book on the "hows," material and quilting in general. What would be a good book to get for her? Thanks Deb

Hi the Over at alt.sewing, someone kindly suggested that I post this here, so here goes: Hi the I've never posted here before. I know this is a regular question that has no easy answer, but I'd like to ask it anyway.

I've been noticing that many of the new members of this board get asked their chocolate preferences. Hmmm... I love the stuff but I very seldom eat candy. However... Gevalia's chocolate-raspberry coffee is to die for. ;-) Linda

I've made up my mind to buy a long-arm setup before the year is out. However, choosing the best one for my situation is difficult, they all have their good points. If any of you have purchased a long-arm, please drop me a line with any pros and cons of that particular machine, the price of...

I just finished quilting my Fruit & Roses WH and it has wavy edges. This is the first time I have used warm & natural in a WH. I used straight grain binding and everything was square & perfect until I washed it. Now it's all wavy. I am going to try dampening it and blocking it in hopes of...

Did anyone see Simply Quilts this morning? I am totally mesmerized by the 'Preswara' quilt that was shown. That has got to be the most gorgeous quilt I've ever seen. Linda
