Many, many moons ago, someone here posted a link for making a pillowcase with finished edges. It looked terribly confusing to read the directions but following it step-by-step produced a wonderful, nicely finished pillowcase. Does anyone remember or have that link? And maybe someone should let...

Must have known that the annual seasonal offerings would be showing up! My centipede joke has been lost due to the late frying of my laptop during my first hospital stay - I did remember to shut the other one down for the duration of the second stay which was a planned event....#3 still to look...

The other day, I bought some jeans (well actually by now I think it is a few years ago). I do not buy jeans very often, and these jeans that I bought very promptly reminded me of why I don't buy them very often. I just don't find them as comfortable as everyone else seems to, and I also feel like...

I love that store! And, Yes, I do spend too much money there...but I missed this sale again! pooop!

Thinking buying some fabric will cheer me up, I realized the red bin is mostly not true red or just leftovers. There's deep, dark red, dull gray red (that one actually is useful in the strangest places), orange red, leaning toward pink red and, of course, some that have a sort of blue-ish...

Bear with me while I have a fit. The Christmas quilt that Louise longarmed for us has arrived and her talent is magnificent, exquisite and incredible. The quilt is a bit of everything Christmas except I didn't have room for The Grinch. I'll put him on the back. For certain, this beautiful...

In Russia there lived a man named Rudolf. He and his wife had several children and, one day while getting everyone dressed and off to school, Rudolf mentioned to his wife that it was raining and the kids needed their coats and boots. His wife said to him that he was wrong and it was actually...

Happy Day. Celebrate with me. Mr. Esther has macular degeneration and had cataracts and astigmatism. We've been doing corrective surgeries since mid-October. Today he has 20/40 vision. It has been a scary journey but we have never been alone. I called our children with the wonderful...

Have a question . . . . How binding are small claims court rulings? A local yokel owes us and my sister-in-law $4000 for last year's hay crop. He's been promising for several months that he would pay us 'next week.' Except next week never gets here. Yesterday, my DH went to his house. The...

We had ten wonderful lights to install between 2 of the columns at our front door. A space after column one, a light, another space and so on. I simply drew a 'quilt' diagram with _ for spaces and 0 for lights. Measured out to need 10 and 1/3 inches for the spaces. Mr. Esther said, "We'll...

I just found out yesterday that the Hayloft Fabric Store in Morgantown, PA is closing. For those of you who have been there on trips to Lancaster County, you will remember it as the store located in a loft above Martin's grocery store. They also have an online store. It is a huge place with...

I tried chasing them with a paper bag with noisy things in it. I just looked like a fool running around the house. Then when I sat the...
