Using Up Scraps--Hah! by
Joan
So, I had this really big pile of scraps, and the pile was divided into
more piles, and those piles had children, and those piles of scraps had
grandchildren, so I had to do something or my house would explode. Why not
use some of the scraps in a quilt, I thought. Maybe with some paper
piecing....

New twist on Puzzle quilt by
Susan Laity Price
I saw a cute puzzle quilt yesterday. The gal had followed the pattern
but made one of the center pieces black so it looked like a piece was
missing. I thought it would look even cuter if you took a part of a
colored block and appliqued it onto the border to look like it was the
missing piece...

Special Needles for Singer Featherweight? by
Beth Pierce
I'm taking the big step to become more of a SMA (sewing machine
addict). I am now interested in a Featherweight, Model 221. Forgive
me if I appear to be "out to lunch" but I thought I saw somewhere
(like Ebay) that I had to use special needles for this machine. Is
this true? I haven't
seen any...

quilting *after* binding? by
[email protected]
I made a small (45x60) quilt in a workshop a couple of months ago. She
had us "utility" quilt it only -- just enough to stabilize, diagonally
through the chains, about 6" apart. I used 100% cotton batt. Without
giving it any thought, I just bound it and put it on the couch for
snuggles. But ... now...

Quilter needed by
Heather
Here's the scoop.
My oldest daughter is now 14. Back in 2000, I helped her do a y2k swap. We
collected thousands of fabric squares, and this last year I helped her make
them into a quilt. Basically, she just made a crazy quilt with the squares,
by using a foundation and just laying the fabric...
