You just never know!!!!

I don't get it either. I won't mention their name anymore and give them advertising.

They're probably extreme couponers and they are screaming because the sale will not require any coupons.
Thank goodness for the mute button.

Great package! Lots of goodies for Valentine's Day!

Lori did you ever hear from my Pal?
I hope she's ok.

That's exactly what they are saying. They used all these coupons and markdowns and that's going away, now if a sweater costs $6, they are going to mark it $7, no sales no coupons. I think they have chosen a very awful way to advetise, myself. Once is too much for that commercial!!

Thank you, Candi! What temperature do you set the skillet at?

Thanks Candi!!!!

Mryna, congrats on figuring out how to post pics, good job!!:thumbup:

I have a question for you appliquer's.......if you fuse the applique, does it have to be sewn at the edges?? This is why I hate applique, am not very good at doing the edges.

Teresa, It really depends on whether you are making a quilt or a wall hanging. If it's a wall hanging, you don't have to sew the edges. If you are going to be using it as a quilt and washing it, you really should. I haven't found a fusible that is strong enough to keep the edges from coming loose with use. Personally, I prefer the softer feel of applique without the fusible interfacing for quilts. I know it's a slower process, but you could hand stitch them down with a buttonhole stitch.
It really is up to you, after all it's your project and it's important that you enjoy the process as well as the finished product. Try a smaller block with different techniques and find the one that you like the best and then go for it. Let us know how it goes:-)

Candi we make our pineapple upside down cake the same way but substituting the juice for the water. Then only thing that we do different is to add some crushed pineapples to the batter. I have never tried cooking it in an electric skillet.

Teresa there are many ways that you can finish the applique. I have done a blanket stitch, satin stitch, and also straight stich along the edge of the applique. If the item that you are planning to applique isn't going to get a lot of wear and washing then I think you would be ok to just fuse it.

Still waiting for my package. Getting a little anxious:-)

Still have not heard from my SP..Hope that he is ok ..Diana

Have they posted anywhere lately?

I called Airwick156 and got answering machine left her a message hope to hear from her soon. Lori

Airwick called me back and said that they are fine, but they live 43 miles from town and their car broke down. She has someone coming tomorrow to take her to town. They have received their packages before the car broke down.

Glad to hear they are okay. Sorry about car. It's hard when you live out of town.

I am glad that they received their packages and that they are ok..Know what it means to be out of a car and hopefully they will be able to get it fixed soon . Can not wait to find out how Charles like his :)..Diana

My package will be arriving in a week or two. My secret pal is okay, but stuff happened. This just means that I will get my package close to my birthday! SP, don't feel bad. These things happen and we can't help it. I am so okay about it:-)

Lori thank you for the update, I am sorry about their car but glad they are ok.

Diana I have seen your swaps you send and they have been very nice. I am sure they are enjoyed. It's always nice to hear from the reciever though.Mary

Lori thanks for the update, glad they are Ok.
Sorry about the car.

Thank you Mary..That is very sweet of you..I really love this swap and love the people who are on it..Diana

Still on the bench, but getting lots done. OK, not 'lots,' but I need a total of 556 HST for two projects I am working on, and am almost to the home stretch!

THATS ALOT of HST to be needing KRIS!! I be you can do these in yur sleep by now!! Post pictures of those projects if yu can... I'm still trying to figure out HOW TO POST!!! ( Haven't tired to hard yet ) HAPPY DAY :-)

what hst quick piecing method are you using? i been involved in a thread discussing this. i have a 400+ hst project on the drawing board.

Not really quick piecing the little buggers. I can't seem to master the Easy-Angle (is that the name?) ruler, so I draw my lines on the back to sew. And I always make the square a little bigger in case of operator error!
My one project is the Bonnie Hunter 'Roll, Roll, Cotton Boll" scrap quilt. The other is something I've been playing with that has been wandering around in my head.

I just received a wonderful package from my angel, CAgirl1, Jackie Thomas. Lots of great things -- several items have already been designated for certain projects!

Kris very nice swap. Well worth the wait. I love the sewing fabric.Mary

Very true, Mary. The fabric also has other craft supplies on it, so I am keeping a piece of it for my All About Me quilt.

HAHA good thing you live so far away from me :o
because that means that my "sewing/quilting" themed
fabrics are safe.
