The 2006-2007 RCTQ BOM Needs a Hostess. As you know I am not hosting this upcoming year's BOM and had asked for a volunteer. One lovely lady did indeed step forward, but before the new BOM could even start, life stepped in for her and made it no longer possible to be hostess. So that leaves us up...

Okay... I'll be the first to ask... What are your top 3 projects (quilty related -- not necessarily sewing -- could be reorganizing sewing room, putting all your books in a spreadsheet...) that you are determined to complete this year. Mine? 1) A quilt for my mother-in-law 2) Snowball quilt

My daughter, Gray Soufflé (the QI,) and I worked together and decided on this layout for my 2007-2008 BOM quilt. One of the extra appliquéd blocks, for which I inadvertently printed the pattern for the flowers too small, will become the label for the...

Gotcha with that one didn't I? Well, here's what I have to say... I am proud to welcome our new BOM hostess to the scene. Her capable hands, loving heart and artistic eye should make the coming year a treat for us all! So everyone put your hands together in appreciation for.... JESSAMY!!!!!

No, I didn't mark it off topic, 'cause it isn't! I have been a long time piecer. Not much of a finisher, of most things. However, for some reason, this year is starting out to be a bit different than most. Maybe because of the past six or seven months that have been really rotten for me (is has...

Are you enjoying the opening ceremonies tonight? Haven't heard from me for awhile but this is my home town. I should have asked sooner is anyone from RTCQ coming to visit? Sandi in New Westminster B.C.

It took a long time. I thought I was back to work in April, and I did start the new quilt, and I did plan to finish it, but as I started quilting again, I began to feel that the world was passing by, so I really wanted to take a deep breath and rethink my priorities. Sometimes, it really is time to...

I thought that the 'teacup' pin cushion might have been the usual china tea cup one but it isn't. jennellh http://tipnut.com/22-free-pincushion-patterns/

how blatant does one have to be in a beg?? How subtle is too subtle??? I guess I was too subtle and MissMop missed it...does that mean I'm no longer in training, or do I need more classes?? Larisa, plugging away on the last presents, only one quilting related - the new tree skirt will,...

The precious old doctor on Fox news this morning was telling us that Every day in the United States, 240 people must go to their hospitals' emergency rooms because they have been injured by their own pets. Not from biting; mostly from tripping and falling. I have no idea how we can prevent...

Well, the wedding is Saturday and I have the quilt all finished, labeled and washed ready to give. The DWR I have been working on for my niece is done. Woo Hoo!!! Don't have a photo up but it is real similar to the one I made for my folks 50th anniversary quilt. Floral fabrics with green...

Found this in Connecting Threads flyer like two years ago and graphed it out only to find it on www.quiltercache.com Think it is under the A's. It is 15 inch blocks. I am using different colors in each block for the first row and then moving the blocks around so they are not in the same place...

Well, I've finally finished making the Christmas Stockings at school in DD's class. I brought them all home to sew on the backs, hanger and tops, as the machine at school either has no tension or makes a good gathered skirt!!! We have made 26 in total...... all polyester and silky fabrics -...
