My Mom called me yesterday to tell me that my Dad is having surgery this week. He has a spot on top of his head that the doctor thinks has turned cancerous. So they are going to remove it and check his lymph nodes to see if his lymphatic system is compromised. I can deal with a lot of stuff...

One day, when a seamstress was sewing while sitting close to a river, her thimble fell into the river. When she cried out, the Lord appeared and asked, "My dear child, why are you crying?" The seamstress replied that her thimble had fallen into the water and that she needed it to help her husband...

Just received the Hobbs wool batting I'd ordered, and it feels so yummy! BUT...I'm totally intimidated by the care instructions. For instance, it says that the quilt must be washed and rinsed AT THE SAME TEMPERATURE (their emphasis)--and my washing machine only has cold rinse. And it has to...

This post was done last year but wondering if anyone new has tried the quilts in this book. Since I have a quilters Bernina machine now I am wondering if all of that stitching can be done by this ?

I just checked and I don't think my post this morning ever appeared on the newsgroup, so here goes again. Karen's dh was taken to the hospital in an ambulance yesterday, with internal bleeding resulting in pain, swelling, and dizziness. He is still in the hospital, and somewhat stable, but in...

The best one I have found so far is www.whatsyourdeal.com It's easy to use and they have great deals posted and all the latest dollar and percent off coupons. I saved a ton last year buying the stuff I would have normally bought.

Ok, I need a "How to Fix It" answer here! I use a single fold binding, machine stitched 1/4" seam allowance and mitered corners. I put this one on the front, stitched all around, mitered my corners perfectly (well...almost) and ended the binding by tucking it and handstitching it to the...
