Using two spools of thread by
Polly Esther
There are some tulips and leaves dancing across the quilt in progress. They
called for a buttonhole / blanket / appliqué stitch around the edges. Swell.
Do you have any idea how many points a @#$! tulip has and how hard it is to

Many of y'all have heard me tell of DH's Nightmare Quilt. Yup my First Big
Quilt (third one ever). He chose it and it is FULL of curves. He chose the

Saw some fabric the other day in Walmart, and thought about non-stop for
a day or two.
Bought the whole bolt today. 7 yards and a smidge of beautiful blue and

our house (mid Feb at this point), and I find my directions, it...

my first fabric bowl by
News
I did one finally. I bought a yard of Timtex while on a shop hop with my SIL
about 5 months ago, and today it yelled at me to make it. I think the thing
that took me the longest was finding where I put my book!:)
I did the square one, but then I cut off a triangle off each corner and
ended up with...

hfw
Just joined AQS this morning--and noticed that members can buy EQ5 for $88.
And since membership is only $20 and gets you 5 issues of their magazine as
well as other discounts, that seems a good deal, no?

than to announce to this group that my stash was going to be unguarded
for two days!
