Sorry, couldn't find the other version with the dishy hubby in the video! RiverOwl wrote: Oh Rosemary; How did you know I was hiding fabric?? You really are a wizard  You're a quilter - therefore you have fabric, therefore you have lots of fabric, stashed away out of sight from hubby  Or as we used to chant in the playground ' It takes one, to know one!'  'Simples!' as Alexander Meercat would sayhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0mXUC0cUPg - yes it is a car insurance advert, but it has a lot of fun spin-offs and is nearly better than watching some of the soaps! (correction it is better than watching soap operas!) |

So Terri you are expectant for two things now! I have had two little girls and everything had to be pink, fluffy, glittery and hearts for years! That phase was replaced with witches, fairies and elves. My 17 year old is still partial to anything to do with fairies and elves. I think she might be a changeling herself Yes but have you ever gone shopping for clothes with a small girl who has just declared that shes doesn't like pink! a complete nightmare - but also a short lived declaration, fortunately Terri, congratulations and enjoy! |

Lotti's green reels in the forground are the same number as Maureen's, but ever so much flatter! from Rosemary. Mine obviously hasn't been pressed down very much by the post office as I am only up over the mountains and round the corner from Rosemary so only had less than 24 hours to travel. Wish I could do to my body what Lottie's done to the reels  All of the reels look terrific. by lotti » Thu Feb 16, 2012 11:58 am oh maureen, so do i - hmmm, now where to find my seams to fingerpress open - not so sure if i want the hot iron and steam shot though? but could try posting myself somewhere stuck in a ziplock and an envelope. on second thought, i kind of like breathing and have enough problems being in an elevator that i don't think i'll enjoy the ziplock-envelope experience... will just have to stick to flatish reels instead and enjoy life as it is sooooo look forward to getting my batches of reels - oh yeahhhhhhhh Actually I think that the difference was due to the starching techniques, Lotti's were very firmly starched and the seams 'told' what they were doing with no chance of arguing |

Lorna, I can relate to the 10 year plan project. My friend got me started on my first quilt project in 2007 and I have 14 of the 20 machine appliqued blocks done. It was block of the month but now she calls it my block of the year. So as I see it I still have 6 years to finish the remaining blocks. HA Hope one of the packages is mine that was sent last week. Lori Oh good! I am not alone! I started the TQS BOM last year, and am now stuck on month 3 because it is all hand applique. Not needle turn, but still hand applique. I have used Ricky's Stable Stuff! Then life just sort of got in the way. Lorna, I love what's on your design wall too, and can appreciate all the work that has gone into the applique! That's going to be a beautiful quilt! The reels look great! You have obviously received quite a few of them already! My back hurts just looking at them and thinking of the bending it took to lay them all out. Oops! I'm showing my age here! And, I have to say, ALL of you have put together some really wonderful spools! I will cherish every one of them! (Now I am sorry I only signed up for 41!)

P.S. I have forgotten her name but one of our US Astronauts was a quilter & even took some fat quarters with her on her space flight which she put into a quilt when she came back to earth! Quilting probably kept her grounded (hee hee)
l/Barbara Oh, I know the answer! Jan Davis and she wears her gold pin proudly. (silver pins are for NASA astronauts that finish training but don't go up in space). Oh, the reels look so pretty. Thanks Lorna and Rosemary for a sneak peek. |

My son and his wife are expecting their first girl ( 3rd child) in just a few weeks or days - God only knows. I'm ALMOST as excited to see my reel-babies as I am to meet my new real-girl baby. She will be the first girl born to this family line in over 45 years. Paternal great-grandmother had 14 grandchildren - only one was a girl. So, you know this gal's gonna be a princess I'll let y'all know when she and/or they arrive!Congratulations! What fun! All we have in our family for the last five generations were girls, girls, girls! My daughter has four girls too! But, you never know with girls, she could end up being an athlete too, or even President of the US ! Girls rule ! But of course she will be a quilter, football player or not, eh?P.S.

Ladies; I fix this weight watcher barbecued pork all the time, It is wonderful & simple; One Lean pork loin (on sale can be only $8.00) Brown outside of pork in olive oil, about 2 tablespoons; Put in slow cooker w/ One cup of beef boulion (I use Swanson’s MSG, Fat free)-If I am in a hurry I may microwave the cup of beef bouillon to speed up the cooking. One garlic glove (I use the minced garlic from the jar, it is 1/2 tsp.) Put in slow cooker on high setting for 4-5 hours / depending on size , or you can put your slow cooker on the low setting and leave it all day. I have even put it on the low setting before going to bed and it is done by morning so I could take it into work for get togethers Pull pork apart with two forks and add heated barbecue sauce (I use Jack Daniels Original barbecue sauce-one bottle) Put on Whole wheat bun, it’s great & I am always asked to bring it to party’s it is so popular! Barbara I am going to try this weight wacher recipe. It sounds easy pezze and good! Thaks 4 sharin' |
