Log Cabin - first block ever by
Morag in Oxford
Hi ladies,
I'm a completely self taught quilter, and still a very novice one at that.
I always liked the look of a log cabin quilt so today made my very first
block out of scraps. Was very pleased with the ease of making it - it looks
so much more complex than it actually is!
Went through my...

Quilt blocks for charities... by
Carol in MO
I'm looking for a web site that solicits crocheted squares to be made into
"quilts". My 98 year old mother is looking for something constructive to do
with her time. She has been crocheting "hangers" for family but wants to do
something more. I know I ran across a site for this once but can't...

fabric on e-bay by
Don/Gen
I just received some fabric I ordered from a store on E-bay. It's 100% as
ordered and their service was very prompt. They have a large amount of
quilting fabrics.

OT- Celebrating... by
Julia in MN
five years since my lumpectomy, which was followed by radiation. My most
recent mammogram was good. I can quit taking the tamoxifen. Maybe that
will cut down on the hot flashes (which have become much less bothersome
over the years). Yippee!

Did you ever have one of those moments where you just slap YOURSELF upside
the head??
I am doing a paper pieced name. I came across this darling site that had

letters before it dawned on me that I should have mirror...

Kona Cotton by
Judie in Penfield NY
I just got my latest Joann's flyer and there is a coupon for 10% off the
total purchase. There is no 40% off coupon anywhere!
So, I will probably be doing even more on line purchasing and was wondering
how the Kona cotton carried by some of the on line fabric stores compares to
the quilters' only...

What is your favorite color to put in a quilt? by
Tricia
Well, exactly like the subject line says --
What is your favorite color to put in a quilt?
I haven't actually done one yet but I'm collecting starred fabrics for
a quilt for mine and David's bed -- I frequently refer to it as our
wedding quilt because it will have bits of fabric in it from...

Quilt Labels by
AliceW
I put mine on after the quilting and usually in one corner so the binding
catches two of the sides. The other sides are whip stitched
with very tiny stitches.

Quilt Labels by

I whip stitch mine on the quilt or wall hanging after I quilt
it. I first make the lettering on some material matching
the project with my designer 2 or rose embroidery
machine. You can check out some of my labels on

afternoon during coffee break - which is now. But I just discovered there

New Bernina Stitch Regulator by

Has anyone seen or tried the new Bernina Stitch Regulator? Do you know what
it's like?
I have been considering a new machine and while I don't have a Bernina now
(a confirmed Janome user to date) I would definitely consider a domestic
machine with stitch regulation. Is there any other machine...

Quilt Labels by
Anne in CA
I *try* to remember to put it on before the quilting (if it is machine
quilted) but often forget :-( so just blind stitch it -- like needle
turn applique sort of -- by hand. Preferably before giving it away. But
sometimes I forget until after it is gone.
If hand quilting, it goes on after the...
