Just made a bunch to gift ... making singles to use as mug rugs.

No special fabric folding pen and used the regular Dritz 1 7/8 inch glass head pins. I'm pressing not ironing so no chance of...

I wouldn't consider putting it in an oven. The microwave cooks without a hot heat source so the air inside the cooking chamber stays relatively cool. The regular oven, on the other hand, cooks at...

Heard that the snow was falling in a great amount ... but the winds were making it so much worse. Seeing any of those wind-driven drifts in your area, Joy?

Charyti - It's getting close for some quilters to start hinting for Christmas presents. I was wondering how many beds at the Sewing Center are still available ....

It looks to me like all the...

I proudly served for 20+ years ... and am honored to have had the opportunity. Sherri, please pass my thanks to her; nice to know there are young ladies that will carry on in the following...

That's a great idea that I'm sure she will appreciate. (I just got a bit confused when you originally posted the amount you made in the first post.)

Terry ~ wondering if you go fishing on the intercoastal side or ocean side? You should consider motoring over to Hammocks Beach State Park and pick up some dead Sand Dollars on the ocean side (if...

Just wondering if the whole set (4 cozies and 2 zappers) were all made with this material. If so you may want to get them all back from her since there is a risk using any of them.

I'm sure you...

Great group of ladies working and donating to a wonderful outreach directly to the kids. That hospital really helped Gabe! Hopefully I'll be able to help more in 2020.

Welcome from my current location - Chicago. I used to visit my aunt in Reading and made it a point to stop by the Lancaster shops. I'm sure your experience will be helpful in providing some helpful...

Glad you had a successful weekend with M's help, of course.

Karen - I love the bowl cozies in the winter for heating my bowl of soup or morning oatmeal quickly in the microwave. And it prevents...

I would interpret it as a drop off of something they forgot to give you when you were there.

Now it would be creepy to me if there was a representative standing at the door wanting to hand it to...

Welcome to the forum. You will meet so many helpful and encouraging quilters of all levels here. I'm sure you will enjoy it.

A warm welcome from Chicago ... and NC. Looking forward to meeting you at the retreat!

I'm signed up to come back also. Enjoyed meeting so many great quilters and having a fun, relaxing and informative time. Wonderful way to get away from the daily routine and have wonderful...

Bit of a different situation here. My husband's family was blended when all were adults. His mom had money from the sale of her home when they married and paid for 1/2 of their new house. She also...

Thanks for the pattern! You have a talent for drawing them out, Caroline.

Go get 'em again this year, Marilyn!

My how the years have flown by and so much has happened (remembering the injury.) So happy she is back with them again. I'll be looking for her at the parade!

So sorry I haven't delivered a timely thank you for all your birthday greetings. I spent my special day at the Birthday Bash in Hamilton and will be starting the Fall Forum Retreat on Sunday. It...

Hope you have a very happy day, Carol!

Just the sounds of a hurricane can be cause for alarm. And the aftermath is like stepping back in time. No electronics and cooking over an open flame really makes you feel like you can accomplish...

Hurricanes are really only "fun" for some children. For us adults it can be a scary adventure. I'm sure Monique will have some memorable and suspenseful stories to tell. Wonderful to hear she is...

Barrier islands were ordered evacuated by the governor but approx. 800 opted to stay. Storm surge added another 7 ft to already high water levels forcing some into their second floors or attics. It...
