    Finally got the incubator back up to temp after adding my eggs and the power goes out for an hour and temp drops down to 91°Friday. Please tell me it wasn't long enough to cause problems.

    My stepfather has lung cancer- prayers please

    Just found out my stepdad has fast growing lung cancer. He is having tests done to see how bad it is and if it has spread. I guess technically he isn't my stepdad anymore as he and my mom divorced in Dec. but this was the man that helped me when I needed it without question, was there when my...

    Mini Bow Tucks Tote/purse

    After seeing so many raves on this pattern on a quilting message board, I had to buy it and the larger one as well. Finally finished it around 1 am this morning and I am loving it! Only thing I would change would be to make the straps longer but I love it! I plan on making several for Christmas...

    Need help with this Attic Windows wallhanging please!!

    I put this up on the wall and used mock sashing to see if it would line up and it doesn't! I am not an experienced quilter so I have no idea what I need to do to fix it. I cut my sashing 1 1/2 inches. I didnt bother with other side. Its the middle panel that is the issue and if I made the...

    Super cute quilting find! **FINISHED!**

    I decided to pop in the craft store on base today to see if they had anything good. Since we have been here this time around, the selection of items has been sad and very little quilting stuff to be had. Apparently they have a new manager now and she is a quilter, YAY!! I was surprised to find...

    Need suggestions for this fabric panel

    Toys for Tots

    I sent in a request for toys from Toys for Tots for my nieces and nephew and I was curious to see if anyone on here has done that before. I haven't heard anything back and I sent the request over a week ago. Can someone explain how the process went for them, how long it took, etc? Thanks!

    Went to my first quilting class.....

    ...and this is what I made I didn't have enough time to get it completely finished. I still have to do another border, put the batting and the backing on, quilt it and add the binding. I had intended on doing a wall hanging rather than a lap quilt, but I forgot about doing that until I had...

    I'm feeling lost

    My chickens went to their new home last night. It was supposed to happen the end of April, but I kept putting it off. I feel as if I am giving up everything for this stupid move. The end of March I took my dog to my dad's in Florida and we won't see her again for three years. I couldn't...
