Walking Foot
I picked up my walking foot yesterday too and have been playing with it a
little bit. DD was more excited than I was as I can now quilt her long awaited Attic Windows quilt, just what she needs with this current cold and wet weather we are having... Dee in Oz "Terbear" wrote ... Well, now I finally have no excuse NOT to quilt these projects, any tips? I heard you can use powder with stencils for dark fabrics & cinnamon with lighter fabrics. I think I want to stick with my WS pen. Oh, got a twin needle also, what fun that will be to play with! -- Teri http://gallery.ppwp.com/gallery/Tquilts?&page=1 -- Dee in Oz http://community.webshots.com/user/deeinoz |

Melinda,
Spring just started here. We are having a heat spell. I live 4 miles from the beach and it has been in the high 80's (sorry can translate to your system, the metric system and I came to a mutual agreement back when I was in school-- it exists, I don't understand!). Those who live inland are seeing temperatures in the high 90's. Feels like the middle of summer. I will be heading across country on Thursday where so far it is down in the 30's and 40's.

Sharon, I would love to have both the cool weather and the rain..... we are
already having wildfires here in Arizona. And the fire crews aren't assembled yet sinc the season isn't usually starting this early. (Pretty large fire up near Pine......... where there is plenty of fuel because of all the dead wood due to bark beetle infestations, and the drought. ) Pati, in Phx, dreading this summer, both the heat and the fires.

I live on the coast and we get some very cold winds 'coz there is nothing to
between the South Pole and us except the southern Ocean. Basically where I live the temp. varies from about 5 degrees to about 35 degrees celcius ( sorry dont know how to convert this any more). Once it gets to 30 people are really starting to complain. The town I lived in until I was twelve was much hotter, nothing to have a summer day of over 100 F, but can't handle than anymore ( too old lol). There are mountains about 2 hours north of here and about 4 years ago the was snow there which is not a regular thing. It really depends on what part of the country you live as to how hot it gets....lol ...obviously. What I mean is not all of Oz gets really hot. By the time winter reall gets here I should have a quilting stand made so I can hand quilt a quilt. DH has a couple of paying jobs to get out of the way befor he starts on 'my' job. I will let you know when it is done. -- Dee in Oz http://community.webshots.com/user/deeinoz "Maine-iac Rose" wrote in message ... always glad to see another quilter happy when they get a new toy, or finish a project. yes just in time for those cold nights ahead. so tell me, does it get real cold there?

Thanks for the reply back, I've always wanted to visit Australia, but don't
know if I'll ever make it, maybe if I can sell some of my quilts, instead of giving them away, (snicker), then maybe I will have some extra money to take that trip, but until then, it is a dream, and we all can dream can't we???? here is a couple of links to convert temp from 1 to the other, or the other to 1, well you know what I mean: http://www.marsradio.com/ctof.htm or http://www.soc.duke.edu/~garyt/temp.html I know that 0 Celsius is 32 in Fahrenheit, and that is the freezing point, and then 100 Celsius and 212 Fahrenheit are the boiling point, and then there is 1 temp in both that are the same, but I forget what that one is, but with this link, we can all see what we are all trying to figure out. well looking at your temps that is about the same for here, although we did get down to -20 F this winter, glad the furnace was working then. oh yes you were 1 of the ppl that got the plans for the quilt stand, well hopefully he will get that done soon, seeing that your getting into winter now.
