Not long ago I posted one of my dream quilts as a crazy quilt - I guess I had the wrong idea. The quilt I have started is a combo crazy / handkerchief quilt. It'll definitely be crazy! But it's velvet / antique handkerchief / velvet. It will be embellished and probably a throw size. I am not a...

Our Mz Butterfly has a new ISP, and cannot access the ng. She doesn't want to go through Google 'cause she has problems with it. She is asking someone to email her at and help her out, please. Ginger in CA just the messenger her

So many of us loved the movie 'Mama Mia' that I just *had* to share this! It's now on HBO. I watch it every time I can and, also, have it recorded on my DVR. The music is great- so I jump up and dance to every song! I still enjoy the movie every time, the dancing is great fun as I improvise my...

Hi All Here goes again with this post. I guess that the first one vanished into cyberland. Had a really good visit with family in Michigan. Made it back for my niece's HS graduation party, took Mom to her HS reunion, visited with my aunts, did some chores around Mom's house, visited with...

Has anybody seen a pattern for making a quilt out of used team football jerseys? My wife has asked me to see if I can locate a pattern. If you know of how I can find one please email me at thanks brother John. And Sister Janey.

hey Mickie, i'd be inclined to send an email to British Telecom explaining the situation clearly re his state of health, age, etc. give them his name, your name, moms name and the phone number to reach him, you or her at, or all three to pass on to the lady in UK. give them as much info as you have...

I would like to participate in a fabric swap; is anyone hosting this? I read about them online all the time but I always seem to be too late to join. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks bunches. ------------------------------------- Lynne

http://ajpadilla.com/patterns/bom/-year-coasters/slip-wine-glass-coaster this one slips over the bottom of the stemmed wine glass so its always there, no matter where the glass is set down, to protect all the furniture. i thot this was clever if a bit awkward looking but who cares if it saves a...

http://ajpadilla.com/patterns/bom/christmas-all-year-round/hexagon-rosette-candle-mat i like this but think i'd be inclined to extend two opposite ends to make a table runner of sorts. add a few folded hexagon coasters from previous post and you've got a matched set. probly more items you could...

Hi - Back again to beg you creative ones for your good ideas. September is our guild birthday party. In the past we've been given a little something as part of the festivities. Most often it has been a fat quarter (often of quite dubious fabric). Last year we were given a nice notepad with...

He's beautiful, Mary. The patterning of the tiger stripes and the white areas is really special. Thank you and your DH for saving this one. PAT "Tia Mary" wrote in message ... I have just uploaded photos of the kitty to Webshots. ...

It is nice to have a hand project to take to meetings and such. For quite a while I've had a plan to work on "Red" work squares. Mine will feature green thread, though, because I will be stitching foliage. I did try to start this but did not like how the fabric (plain muslin) took to the...

Hope you are feeling better! Barbara in SC

Kathyl posted about our fun visit yesterday. I usually don't allow too many people to see my studio but not too many of my RCTQ friends have visited so close to my home. Thought if she made the drive she could see the stash. Yes, she is right about the 125 quilts. I think I have posted a little...

Did anyone receive printable coupons for Joanne's "coupon sale" this week for in store use? If so, I'd be very greatful if you'd be willing to share. Thanks!!! Critter Comforts: Quilts for Homeless Animals http://community.webtv.net/crittercomforts/CritterComforts

I'm doing my head in here! I am in need of four red heart-shaped no- shank buttons. Big ones. Sort of 20mm/1" across-ish. Does anyone know where I can get hold of such things, please? I can get small ones, but I want big ones to put in the centre of a patch. Doesn't matter what they are made...

I so wanted to run off this pattern for an elderly friend of mine, but I forgot who posted the instructions. Could anyone tell me where I could find the instructions? Thanks Sharon (N.B.)
