Hello all, After postponing for years I finally took the time to create a website to show off my quilts. I would like to have your opinion, so please take a look and vote for your favorite. Thank you! --- AC from the Netherlands http://www.cosman.nl

This machine is great.Bought it for classes because it is so lightweight. No foot control(unless you want to put it on for free machine quilting)because you adjust the speed with a control on the machine, totally light weight, 120 stitches with length and width set for you automatically like on an...

I was searching around the web for an easy way to finish edges of quilts, that binding stuff is for the birds..... I found this site: http://easymade.com/video_clip6.html and it looks promising. Has anyone ever tried this method?

I don't know what the "RULE" is but any applique that I've done was on a single block. Here's the question, I have a quilt top all put together and thought I was finished with it but there are very large blocks of white that I was just going to put some fancy hand quilting in. This was a block of...

Our local quilt shop organizes three retreats every year at a bed and breakfast inn (on a bluff overlooking Lake Huron). They usually start Friday evening through to Sunday at lunch. There is one very large room where the hosts have all the tables and chairs set up...all meals made for you so...

Today my S.O. went to Walmart's and bought fabric. It is all $3.96 a yard. It looks so thin and the colors are not great. She has purchased from her quilt store where she takes lessons but thinks the $6-$9 per yard to much. What do you think? My opinion is that if you are going to put in all...

All this running around buying stuff to furnish a second home keeps me away from the fridge & gets me moving. We can only do this stuff when DH has his days off. This week it's W-Th.-F. Today we went to the second hand shop again, set up for our furniture to be delivered here on Friday, picked...

After being a WonderUnder user for many years, I switched to Heat and Bond lite for fusible appliqué projects. At first I ignored the instructions (after all, I KNEW how to fuse!) and I wasn't happy with the results. So I have tried fusing with their directions and am still not very happy, ...

I am quilting a lap quilt. I have an inner border about 36" x 45" x 2". I quilted in the ditch on both sides of the border. I'm using Warm and Natural batting. Is it okay to leave that border area unquilted? I know width-wise it's okay (only 2"). But what about the long length? Will the...

Hello Years ago I saw a Statue of Liberty Quilt at Ellis Island in one of the traveling displays. How would I find out more about it? I am trying all resources I can think of. Thanks in advance Debbie

We figured it out! Y'all know our Ash has language troubles. Well, since starting school, he has picked up more words and phrases. He has been putting his hands up to his cheeks and exclaiming "People! People! Oh noooo!" and he has often been heard to proclaim "watch watch watch"

I hate to bother anyone, but some time back I remember someone posting a website that had hundreds of free patterns on it, but it seems I neglected to bookmark it. Would someone please be so kind as to post it again. I'm looking for the jigsaw pattern. Just looking at it, I think I...

Many of these items can be found around the house (the kitchen or husband's work space) or at your local quilting, hardware or office store. Chop Sticks - use the Japanese ones as the tips are a little more rounded. Use them for turning points and stuffing. Peep Hole - for getting perspective on...

Many, many thanks to the wonderful squisher/thunker who sent the Press 'n' Seal and fabric. Sneaky lil devil signed the customs dec so that I couldn't make it out!! So public thanks are yours - you've improved my day and put a smile on my dial (and improved the stash for the blue and green quilt...

Hi, My company is clearing out a lot of home dec fabric - from tapestry weight to voiles and nets. There is a lot of different fabrics but its all short lenghts - 1-3 metres at the most. Some are on rolls./ They are all samples which have been sent to us for scanning, we're actually a software...

It's a gorgeous day outside - the birds are singing, all's right with the world. Mungo the ever-vigilant watchdog came and told me something sinister was afoot. Someone had trespassed on his domain! Come! Look! So, I go to the front door - nobody's there. I spy the mail truck just driving off....
