Your "dream quilt" - what pattern is it? Colours? Have you made it? If not yet, why not? Mine is Storm at Sea in shades of dark blue & light blue & white, but I have to finish two quilts I'm making right now, then I want to start it! -- Jo in Scotland

I am shocked, amazed and amused at that thread! Some of the things you have said you would never do again I was in the middle of doing!! And some of those things I would have done without a second thought as to the after effects of them........ That was a wonderful thread and a great learning tool...

In the morning I'm going to teach a young woman how to cut fabric for quilts. And probably how to sew. She's never used a sewing machine, thought she was going to cut 'just blocks' for a 6' x 6' quilt for each of her bridesmaids and groomsmen (that would be six, and the wedding in next spring)....

I recently saw an advert for a quilt show/festival, which mentioned a section for quilters under 35. I thought I must remember that, maybe one day I could enter something, but then completely forgot which show it was and where I saw the advert (or maybe it was an article, there was some info...

I am just peeking in after not reading much (although I have popped in with an occasional question) for the last five years. I am cleaning through my quilt room this week, trying to get rid of some UFO's and organize my fabric stash, etc., and I've been remembering fondly some of the fabric that...

Was in JoAnns a few days ago just looking, wasting time...testing out the new glasses (definite difference, but NO headaches!!) and I saw the most disgusting thing they could ever put in front of a quilter......pre-pieced quilt blocks!! Yep, the entire block put together already, about $5 per...

The fabrics I was waiting for to go into the Dahlia came today, and now that I see them in person Im going to beat you all to it and say.. You Told Me So! (and in the nicest ways possible too!) This quilt needs a gentle infusion of yellow, pink, and possibly lavender. So, out goes the...

The DD and DSIL have decided they are so madly in love, and they are just going nuts trying to wait until May. They are getting married in............... 6 weeks. Now pick up your jaws and start dancing with me! We are all so happy they are not going to drag this out. AND, this takes all the...

As you know I live in a small town and don't know many quilter's at all. Well, I've met a fellow quilter at my tax classes. We won't be working together in the same building, but it's nice to meet someone you have something in common with. We have a final set of classes beginning Saturday and we...

The little bottle of Fray-Check that you use to stop things from raveling is nearly clear plastic with blue writing. The little bottle of silicone that you use to make thread behave ( I put almost half a drop on bobbins and let it soak in) is also nearly clear plastic with blue writing. The two...

Tonight I learned that you know you are a quilter when you follow the odd blue dog paw prints and find at the end of the trail a dog that has chewed your just opened new wash away pen that you planned using to mark quilting lines. At least it was easy to clean and I don't think she ate much of the...

You pick up your coffee and notice that there are threads floating in it! -- Lady Cynthia, Royal Musicmaker http://photos.yahoo.com/cbet_99 http://www.one-eleven.net/~music/ A little boy was overhead praying: "Lord, if you can't make me a better boy, don't worry about it.

Your husband offers to buy you a beautiful mother's ring with your children's birthstones set in it, and the FIRST thought that pops into your head is, "I could buy a sewing machine with that much money." *whistles a little tune* -- the black rose Research Associate in the Field of Child...
