Congrats! Have fun playing w/your new toy! I want to get one soon! I saw it on QVC before it was available for sale
they were only doing pre-orders then. I like the DOODLE cartridge which is ONLY available for QVC! You get both
cartridges GEORGE & DOODLE! The CRICUT reminds me soo much of my brothers GERBER SCIENTIFIC SIGN MACHINE which gets
hooked up to his PC & COST $2,000.00. http://www.gerberscientific.com/ This is a min-version of it! I plan on using
his leftover vinyl (kinda like stickers) since they have a sticky backing, cutting the roll of vinyl down to size to
fit the CRICUT cutting board! So having a better way to recycle ALL this vinyl for my craft projects & making my own
magnet signs for my SUV, etc. should be fun! While @ AC MOORE I bought the XYRON (pink) Personal Cutting System using a
50% off coupon & my FREE $100.00 AC MOORE GIFTCARD I got from NEWSDAY @ AC MOORE during a Craft Fair a few months
ago. http://www.xyron.com/enUS/Categories/Xyron_Personal_Cutting_System.html ~Andea~ Cowchipper wrote:

you buy at fabric and craft[/quote:64a78f6556] stores are made so very cheaply that they won't stand up to use, as you
have discovered. Klass & Gesson hoops (German) are lovely birch hoops with a solid brass screw fitting that you
can tamp down securely with a screw driver and really keep your project tight. Of course, you need to wrap your hoop.
However, there's differences of opinion on the right way to wrap: upper hoop, inside hoop, or both. I do it all ways
depending on the project. They are not that expensive (around $5 for a 6-inch). Another beautifully made hoop is
Manor House. They are also birch, I believe, and come in different thicknesses. They are a little wide for my
tastes. You have to be careful of that because that means your fingers can't reach across as easily. I do think they
also make thinner ones, so do a good search for them. Not everyone carries all the different sizes (depth as well as
circumference. They are much more expensive. Dianne -- Embroidery Discussions at http://www.heritageshoppe.com/forum

Good to hear from you Janner. Hope the house- and job-hunting go very well. Sounds like you'll be settled in no time.
It will be good to hear how it all goes, and when you can find some time to get back to your quilting. .. In message

[quote:03fc220a71]Bonjour everyone Well, we have finally got to the south of France. Staying in a holiday rental, with
plenty of local wildlife!!!! Tomorrow we are looking at 2 renovated farmhouses, in the view of longterm rental. DH has
already had 1 job interview. The children haven't started school yet, but that we'll sort when we get a more permanent
address. I haven't done any sewing yet, but have bought plenty of craft magazines, although they are in French, they
are very inspiring. By chance the other day I walked in on a hall with a group of women sewing, making rugs and quilts
and although my french is not great, it was lovely to meet like minded people. I'll call in again soon, and happy
quilting by the way there were 19 000 headers on here, don't think that I'll read all of them, so hugs to those who
need them, congrats to those completed projects and hope you all have enough chocolate to tide you by!!! Janner

So, what's gotten into you, with all this sorting and cleaning, and organizing and stuff? And you're absolutely right
about progress made during footfall season! : ) Say, aren't you about due for another visit? Karen, Queen of
Squishies ----- www.PlayPianoNow.info [quote:7e8a97faa5]Yesterday was so yucky with bad storms threatening every
moment. What a good day to get down into the sewing room. I've been sorting and shifting most of my stash over the
last couple of weekends. I've only my dying stash, the miscellaneous craft closet which really is mostly cardmaking
stuff, and likely my bookcase too left to go. I've managed to mostly empty one cupboard and think I'll move the
cardmaking/rubbing stamping stash into that. Of course, just cleaning and sorting is no fun, so I also worked on my BOM
for September too. As much as I love the BOM this shop does and as much fun as it is to get with my friends for S.E.X.
each month, I think I'm going to pass on next years. (My bank account will probably thank me.) I find I have so many
projects I want to finish. I also worked on my handquilting project during the Notre Dame game. I got a lot done--
gotta love football--although last nights game following last week is almost enough to turn a girl off college football
all together. I'll probably work on the hand quilting some more during the Bears game today. No I see why my friends
with sports nuts husbands get so much more quilting done than I do. Everybody is happy for several hours during the
game. Maureen [/quote:7e8a97faa5]

I saw this at the Stitches and Craft Show in Sydney last year. It was very impressive but a bit fiddly, and as the
crowd around the booth was large I didn't get a good look at at. Ruth Sydney "Cats" <CATS@NO.SPAM.com>

Posted by BJ on Mon Jul 10, 2006 3:36 PM    Post subject: Re: Hi! Can I play too?

Yes, I found a lap size quilt pattern in a craft book from the local library. I'll see if I wrote it down somewhere
and email it to you later. My quilty friends spent a lot of time figuring out how to enlarge it and several of us made
one. Mine is in red and black because my daughter is a grad and huge fan of UGA. Another friend made it in navy/gold
for Ga Tech. I'm pretty sure I have the stuff they figured out for me somewhere too. I can scan it and mail it too -
if - when - I find it. I start out being so organized and then........ By the way, I'm eating Hershey's Kissables
right now. They are tiny candy coated like M&M's - sooooo goooood. My husband made the mistake of bringing them
in the house and forgetting about them. Sure wish I had some peanut butter to go with it, but I told them at the local
grocery store to remove the pb from my buggy if they see me with it. I absolutely cannot be trusted with it.
Luckily, I taught most everyone there and they oblige me or I'd weigh 300 pounds. "Kay Ahr"

reduced fat). I'll share my peanut butter, but I don't think I have enough spoons to go around. That red and black
quilt is magnificent. Is there a pattern? I could stand some quarter inch seam practice that results is something so

I take pics of my flowers every year and scrap them. One of these days I'm going to get pics taken of my 7up collection
to scrap. You don't need to have people in the photos. I think it's a good idea to scrap your craft projects. I saw your
patio and thought that looked real good. Katrina in KS

It sounds like a good idea to me. The whole purpose of scrapping, IMO, is to help future generations know who you are.
You've put your creative juices, time, and energy into those things you've made, so scrap 'em! :-) -- Deb in AR -

fall break which was last week, so my boss scheduled it so I'd do arts and crafts for three hours each day with 3rd
grade through 6th grade students. On Friday we did scrapbook pages, for which we had purchased a super slab at
Michaels, I think it's the newest one, but I'm not sure. On the cover it's got "friends" "love in
bloom" "we are family" etc. Anyway, I did a page too, of pictures of people from work. It's going to be
a two-page layout actually, in order to fit all the pictures, but at the time I only had half the pictures so I was
planning to do the second page but just add the pictures later when I get them taken. But, I couldn't use the same
papers for the second page because the kids had already used the matching ones. So I made it of other papers that kinda
sorta coordinate, but not really. Then after thinking about it all weekend I went to Michaels and used my coupon and
bought the super slab for myself so I could make the pages match, but now I have this extra layout all done up and ready
for pictures but no pictures to put in it. Hence the idea of doing a page of pictures of things I've

I take pictures of family heirlooms such as the bread plate my grandmother had that her grandmother used every Sunday
on the table to hold the homemade bread they baked the day before. My brother has the plate now, but I have a photo of
in to keep the memorie alive. I do that with a lot of the things I have because I worry my children are not listening
to all of the stories I try to remember to tell them about the items in the corner cabinets, on the shelves and in the
closets.........this is when journaling is very important. Sandy "Luna"
