Question about Star Swap by
Betsy Ross
Maybe I should have posted this to the Yahoo group but I thought I might get
more input here.
So the instructions say to aim for a 13" block so all swapped blocks could
be squared to size. I understand you don't want the points cut off, so it
seems there is a lot of calculations and...

A Hug for my friend Don by
Betsy Ross
A friend was diagnosed with a brain
tumour recently. Though the use of the
website Supportcirlce.com, his friends
and family have been able to keep up on
his status and leave messages of
support. After about two hours of
playing with the messages page, I was
able to send email to all who had...

Memorial quilt for those killed in Iraq by
Betsy Ross
I would like to assemble a quilt top with blocks representing all the
service men and women killed in Operation Iraqi Freedom. Unfortunately,
the death toll is now over 2300. So I would like to use machine piecing
to get near the current total. Each additional block would then be
added by...

Thank you RCTQ Quiltmaker by
Betsy Ross
For the lovely squishie. There is nothing like a surprise squishie. It
reminds one of all the goodness in the world, goodness that is often
hidden by events in the news.
Thank you Quiltmaker and all at RCTQ.

Applique Shaddows? by
Betsy Ross
I am using the fuse method to prepare my fabric for hand appliqué
stitching. There are many places where appliquéd pieces would overlap
resulting in a shadow. Given that the quilt will be a piece of "folk
art," should I not worry and just try to minimize? Should I cut away all
pieces to function...

What to write on a quilt label by
Betsy Ross
Names, places, dates are givens. But how do you identify the
contributions of those who worked on a quilt? A person designs an
original quilt, pieces or appliqués it, sends it to a longarmer, and
then binds and labels the quilt. "Quilted by" is an accurate
description for the longarmer, but how...

Finished a Hug by
Betsy Ross
To all who still have me in mind and to Snigdibbly whose blocks arrived
today, I had enough blocks to complete this hug with Wednesday's mail. I
stayed up until one this morning putting all the blocks together. I am
emailing a photo to Teri right now.
Thanks to all who sent blocks. As this was...

Kool Kats Kwilt by
Betsy Ross
A few months ago I posted PDF files for
the Kool Kats Kwilt. Well, I broke down
and did it, sort of. LOL, the pattern
says to follow the picture to arrange
cats. The scan was in black and white.
It didn't really matter since I was not
following the recommended cutting
instructions for 13 or so...

Cutting table cover? by
Betsy Ross
My cutting table just grew from a 30 x 72 folding table to a 40 x 84
piece of smooth plywood. I mean, really smooth plywood. What would you
do with the surface if you wanted to use it for cutting and any other
standing tasks? Cover it? Seal it? Wax it? Wax sounds scary.
