CreateForLess.com agreed to refund my costs for returning the pink thread (I ordered gray thread) and it took two more emails to get the original shipping charges credited to me. It's over and I have 'won'. All shipping costs have been credited back to my credit card as well as the credit for...

I have just renewed my subs for Alex Anderson's and Ricky Tims' Quilt Show and received the usually complementary 6 months free sub to pass on to a friend. So... the first to e-mail me gets it, if I am clever enough to send it! Ready, steady, GO! -- Sally at the Seaside...

And boy do many of us need stuff to keep little ones occupied! Here is a contribution to the cause: http://www.grand-illusions.com/opticalillusions/dragon_illusion/ Between making it and marveling at it this should be good for keeping the munchkins out of trouble for at least a whole...

Good Morning, I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. I'm happy to report that I did too and am looking forward to a wonderful Christmas. It is the bit in between that is being a bit dodgy. :-) I apologize to those of you who have heard some of this already and promise to keep this brief. ...

Sorry folks, got the date right, but day wrong! Monday 6th Dec USA time Tuesday 7th Aussie time None of you picked up my mistake!! I just suddenly realised just now! Bronnie

So, I am bringing out the Christmas decorations. Amongst the 'heirlooms' are some holiday dolls I made maybe 15-20 years ago. The elastic in the clothes (mostly sleeves) was the clear type and is completely gone. Not just dead stretch but totally GONE. Anyone know anything about this stuff? Is...

Taking the stance that the best offense is a good defence, Quilters' Newsletter printed a letter from a reader who was absolutely incensed that one issue did not include a pattern for the cover quilt: she demands the magazine send her the pattern or ELSE! The magazine's editor replies that...

Howdy! http://www.bcrnews.com/articles/2010/11/29/r_o0fibz5qq5g5k8uugizkwg/index.xm l or http://tinyurl.com/2f8qtel Awesome girl, awesome story, awesome goal.

Some of you might remember my disappointing review of the book "Hobo Quilts" by Debra Henninger. I was happy to learn today that an EQ 6 or 7 compatible CD is now available for all the patterns in the book. The patterns for the CD were prepared by Barb Vlack who is an expert in EQ and a very...

Polly, I am a longtime lurker and I've been wanting to say something for a long time. The way you phrase things in your postings reminds me so much of my mother. She was also clever, unconventional and had a positive outlook. In some ways you are very different - she was a Yankee through and...

I think that it is a wonderful quilt! The extra work involved of using both red and white quilting threads were worth it - perfect choice. If you look closely at the full view photo of the Hunter Star quilt, there is a teaser of another quilt project showing - 'small dresses' from a Fons&Porter...

We had major major rainfall and flooding today - the culvert at the end of our driveway completely clogged up with debris coming down the hill as it was flowing so fast -- then water ran down the driveway --we now have 2 feet of water in our basement which is a complete disaster area; we lost a...

I did a fusible web applique project around 1.5 years ago, using Steam-A-Seam 2. At that time I had quite a bit of problem with that product, so I contacted the manufacturer, The Warm Company, to find out what I was doing wrong. It turned out to be a problem with the product, rather than me. ...

Not a sad thing or anything like that! I was "baby" sitting (And I do mean BABY!) She's a three yo Doberman & very spoiled rotten!! It was only for a week but seems more like a YEAR!! WHEW She's sooo needy! She's NOT a QI ! More like a quilt eater. I didn't want to find out so I...

I've just posted several photos to my Webshots Quilts album (near the end). You can see the Flower Garden Quilt I made for myself. I made another of these several years ago, and cut out the extra squares then for a second quilt....it just took my awhile to get it together and get it quilted!...

This is about A Blonde With A Gun. A caulking gun. This morning I decided to make the insulated, quilted Roman blinds for my laundry room. But then I really should paint the laundry room before putting up the hardware for the blinds. Gee, there's a little crack up by the ceiling, so I'd...

Ach! Glad you're both safe. (The brother of a friend of mine crashed his truck, airbag popped, and now he can't see out of one eye because of the impact. Might clear up, might not.) Get a new car in the spring -maybe winter will strike your old car again, it's early days! Be safe! Roberta in D On...
