Can anyone here please tell me if there is a painless way to sew Y seams? I have just finished a quilt top for my grandson who is due in about 4 weeks. I used a 9 inch square for the center then put 2 1/2 in wide strips on each side. I cut the ends of the strips at an angle to make it look like...

Earlier in the week my son called me and said that his girlfriend was on the way to the hospital to have labor induced. She had been to the doctors office and he sent her straight to the hospital. Her blood pressure was really high and he said she was developing toxemia. They did some tests...

Any guidance or advise on how to handle Y seams.I have aproject where every block has to be sewn in a Y seam! Thanks Sandra

Went to Bakersfield today and met up with Butterfly to go to the show there. We had a grand old time! Nice small show and many vendors I hadn't seen before. And, wouldn't you know, that lady taught me to crochet today, also. I am tickled pink about that! Now, still wondering just who this...

Which comes first....the pattern or the fabric? The baby quilt was the pattern and the card trick blocks I started cutting last night was the fabric. Mary http://community.webshots.com/user/mardor1948

Girlfriends A young wife sat on a porch in Waycross, Georgia on a summer day, drinking iced tea and visiting with her Mother. As they talked about life, about marriage, about the responsibilities and the obligations of adulthood, the mother clinked the ice cubes in her glass thoughtfully and...

If you get a chance, please look at the first pic (four-blocks) in the WIP folder of my webshots page. Aside from all the matching (what was I thinking of????), there is the even more vexing problem of pressing. There are SO MANY layers at those points!! Any suggestions about pressing would...

Tell me what you think of this idea: "Dear Secretary of Agriculture, My friend, Ellen Jones, over at Smalltown, received a check the other day for $1,000.00 from the government for not raising hogs. So I want to go into the not-raising-hogs business next year. What I want to know is, in your...

I am new to this, so this may be a really dumb question. in a magazine i have it says " if you are machine piecing do it (this way...) and if you are handpiecing do it this way..." what is the difference? karen

I did some patchwork years ago but always tied rather than quilt. Just got back into the craft/art using rotary patterns. I finished the top for a crib quilt and hope to sandwich and finish it soon. I'm also working on a double pinwheel for my bed. Have fabric for a couple more planned...

Hello All, I want to make my log cabin "logs" different widths, so my question is, does the, let's say, third log in both the dark side and the light side of the log cabin have to be the same width?

Help. I don't know what to do for my little guy. He's a four year old Norwich Terrier who, because of my current personal situation, is missing his daddy something terrible. I mean, he's really depressed. This morning when I went to get him to take to doggie day care, I couldn't find him. He...

Thanks so much for all the suggestions. I have been stuck on this baby quilt for almost two months. I had originally started appliquing other items, but didn't like the look and took them off. I wish the letters were on differently, but they're needle turned appliqued (all the applique is needle...

I have just posted some pix of a WH memory of my time with Viv in NZ at Christmas . http://community.webshots.com/user/quiltermim The outside border will be 6" and I don't really want a binding strip. How do I go about making an edge that doesn't show any other fabric. I'm having a brain cramp....

Have a question for those of you who have burned by someone on Ebay. I myself have been a very satisfied customer for 5-6 years now with absolutely no problem. My DH on the other hand bought me something for my birthday which was January 9. Item was paid for and was told that it would ship on...

Has this happened to you? Love the fabric, put the thing together, and just can't relate to it? Maybe I need to live with it for a while, but at the moment, it looks like a stranger came in and sat down. It's the first photo in the WIP album... --Heidi http://community.webshots.com/user/rabbit2b
