I got the blocks sewn together this past weekend. Next weekend I'll get the borders on. You can see what I've done so far at http://photos.yahoo.com/kayahr. I think it's kind of pretty. I'm itching to get those leftover green squares in the middle border. Kay Ahr in NV

If you have kids and a kitchen and steady nerves, home science projects can be fun. Of course if you also have a DH whose childhood aspiration was to become a mad scientist, it can also be hazardous to your kitchen. Which is why I like this project. Nothing to blow up, minimal chance of setting...

I am new here and would really like to get to know more about quilting. I read something about sharing quilt blocks, it seems like you had to join a group. Can anyone give me some info on this. I really enjoy reading the different items posted here and have learn alot just by reading them. Thanks...

We got Jeanne on a bus early this morning, so she's on her way to Paulette's in WV---should arrive about 4 PM. She certainly improved the welfare of Columbus and Grove City, and depleted several fabric shops! She finally begged me not to take her to any more, and we still had 4 left to get...

Mom and I don't get much time to visit anymore, so when we do we each have to show the other what fun thing we are working on, or planning. Yesterday when I arrived at her place she had a nice set of 7 or 8 fabrics and a book out showing the quilt she is planning to make. We both agree that one...

Can anyone tell me what organization would like to get fabrics of various types free of charge? My sister, who passed away this past August, had loads of it as she was a very talented lady who could do just about anything. However, her husband is now trying to unload fabric - mostly for sewing...

Hello everyone We (finally) moved house last Sept. 27th. Now, two weeks later, we have hot water, heating, washer, dryer, and lots of boxes emptied. Unfortunately, we will not be getting a phone line until some time in December (can you believe that???) so I will be online only sporadically until...

Quite some time ago I posted asking for the pack details of Colour Catchers so I could get our local supermarket to get them in. From time to time since then since I have been getting little pack of CCs in the mail. That is special, but even more special is that so many were willing to pay...

I found this really great site for non-slip aluminum templates for about any shape you can think of. I think the prices are in the ball park and the various shapes come in a variety of sizes. It is an interesting site to check out. Just think, any piece can now be cut with a rotary...

Hi Judy,nice to "see" you again. How about just joining them in a random mix of colours in one gigantic long strip.Then chop off at the required length and add another strip to the 1st, then add another to the 2 already joined and then add...etc till you get the required width. Probably as clear...

Just spent a frustrating 3/4 hour rethreading my D)&@# overlocker (serger). Why is it always the lower looper that needs rethreading? Thought I'd get on and finish a liene for DH that I've had in the "nearly ready to start on this one" pile and thought I was powering long nicely till the rotten...

I've never quilted before, but I have wanted a Halloween quilt for years. I finally just decided to buckle-down and do it. I've never taken any quilting classes; have just done a lot of online reading. Because I'm stubborn, I made a king-size halloween quilt and finally have the quilt top...

I know if I never said anything none of you would 'see' it but I *KNOW* it's there and I can't come up with a solution that I like let alone that I can live with. Been talking about the Poiple LC that I'm making for MOI on here for awhile now...got the blocks done with a few left over....and...

I just finished my second hand-pieced, hand-quilted quilt!! I would have finished months ago, but I had to wait until after thumb surgery before I could do the quilting part. While I was waiting for the thumb to return to normal, I started a blue string quilt and a candlewicking quilt. You...
