day before yesterday, I had to run to the library to get a book that DH had placed on hold and make some copies. When we got ready to leave, DS grabbed a book off one of the display tables sigh. Before I could correct him, I happened to glance at the cover.....it was Quilter's Legacy by...

Okay, I got this wild hair and felt the need to do more than the spider quilt this evening... I had a Bonnie Kaster pattern, SEASCAPE, from years ago. It was mostly finished, just needed some machine applique bits and some fun with colored markers (the details were done with markers). So I...

Hello rctq, My name is Anne. I don't have a newsgroup-ish handle, but my CB handle many years ago was Ditch Witch. Maybe I'll become Stitch Witch. Gotta think about it a bit. Since the last census, we are supposed to refer to the San Francisco Bay Area as the Greater San Jose Area because SJ...

Whose computer went out because a surge protector didn't protect? I went back looking for that message, but it is hiding. My DH just read to me from his computer screen that today's coffee makers have more computer chips than the first manned space ship. I remember how thrilling it was. I also...

I just finished a table runner after taking a class called "finish and fold" technique by The Quilt Yard. If anyone has done this, I'd be interested in what you think. It is a quilt as you go kind of thing. In it, you use your blanket stitch to finish off seams where you have joined together log...

I want to make my son an advent calendar. I thought that I would make 24 applique blocks with Christmas things which I would join together with sashing from a Christmas material. I thought that I would then add doors with appliqued numbers to hide each of the blocks, on the back of each door I...

I'm making Barbara Brackman's calico flag that was shown on episode 327. I've pieced the front. The directions then say to cut a backing 1/2" larger than the front, sew to front, turn inside out. No batting. Well, first I thought it meant to cut the back 1/2" larger on each side for a total of 1"...

Just after reading the post about how to keep fusible web from getting on your ironing board cover I picked up this month's Sew News magazine, and there was a little hint in it about using rubbing alcohol, wiped on with a towel, to remove the web! I'm going to try this myself next time I gum up...

A large shaggy dog joined our household tonight. I've been looking for a dog for a couple of weeks, and this one won the pet lottery! Spike, Giles and I met him last week, and they thought he was great, even though he is nose to nose with Giles. His foster "parent" brought him to our house this...

LN, I can't post to the ng right now. Our internet connection is on the fritz. I'm using DH's work computer (against the rules!), and I tried to post through Google, but the account is set up under my old email address, and I forgot the password. So, the password hint was sent to my old addy, and...

Carol Doak spoke at my guild on Monday. Yesterday she taught a class on the Machine Paper-Pieced Autumn Leaves Wall Quilt in her "Easy Paper Pieced Keepsake Quilts" book. I had done a little paper piecing before, but never using her methods. She made it a lot easier. This is also a tesselating...

Between you guys and some other local friends, I've been heavily tempted to buy a PDA. I've researched and chosen one I like (the Palm Zire 71), but I'm still trying to resolve some questions. (1) Will I really use it as much as my paper planner? I use the Franklin Covey system now and really find...
