In response to the "where do you find the coupons" posts... it VERY much depends on what you are looking for. BUT you have to remember that your not going to save a LOT of money couponing if you plan...

lol Sounds like my house growing up as a kid... my mother was distraught when we went to my dad's for the summer and started watching survivor and then threw a fit when we couldn't watch the finale...

I watched a couple episodes of "Extreme Couponing" on TLC the other day and was convinced that I could do it... So after a little research and printing online coupons, I went to the grocery store...

I'm actually in the process of making a queen size quilt for my DSD doing just that! It's harder than i thought, but i figured i have graph paper to draw it on in an attempt to make it somewhat...

I don't buy anything at JoAnn's unless I absolutely have to-which is hardly ever. I'm convinced that they're a rip off!

What a great story! And i agree with you! I am a newbie on the board and I was amazed at how many nice things get passed around between everyone. I've decided its because quilters aren't about...

I came home last night to find that our pump for our well was broken and we had no running water. I had to take a shower at my step-mom's work (the local sheriff's dept-HAHA) Then the plumber didn't...

I brought one of the baby quilts i made in to show my co workers and they asked me if i bought the blocks and just sewed them together. (They were pinwheels) When i said no, i cut everything and...

I love it!!!

I just hung mine up permanently on Sat, and I don't know how I survived not having one. The next step is a table large enough to lay the pieced tops on so I don't have to sit on the floor pinning on...

what a beautiful quilt! Great job!

I'm going to bind it in the dark brown focus fabric to set it off a little. I'm headed to my LQS tomorrow with the top in hand to find a backing fabric. :)

Thank you for all the help! I actually was thinking along the same lines as most of you I think! This is the final product! I have been angry with it for days but I think it turned out ok. I went...

its actually a really weird dark brown. I have other dark brown fabric, but when I tried that it looked awful. I didn't realize that dark brown came in very different shades. :)

Any idea when they are closing? I'm north of there by a couple hours, but its SOOO worth the drive if I can make it down there. I recently discovered the St. Cloud location and was amazed at how much...

I keep looking at this thinking it looks wierd. I don't think the borders are right... I'm debating going and buying different fabric-either lighter or darker or both. Thoughts?

(The maroon fabric...

HAHAHA!!! I have been using it as a sewing room for quite some time-before he left. But he didn't want me to put anything on the walls... too bad. The only way it's going away is if we remodel the...

it's a quilt in progress. The top will be finished tomorrow, the whole thing has to be done by next sunday. I'm making it for my friend's silent auction benefit. I saw somewhere that this person had...

My boyfriend is a pipeline surveyor and left for TX this morning. About an hour after he left, I rearranged the living room and finally put together my sewing room! I'm so excited to finally have a...

What a great gift! sounds like they've all got a tough road ahead of them. They are lucky to have you!!
