Fabric Scraps by Betty in Wi
This morning in the St. Paul Pioneer Press in a column called Everyday Cheapskate..... Apparently some time ago someone wrote in and asked what they could do with fabric scraps and a small organization in Texas that makes quilts for shelters, churches and other charities said they would take them....

Quilty weekend by Maureen Wozniak
I was home alone this weekend and went on a major quilty binge! Friday I took a class at the LQS. It was the Quilted Letters with Mary Lou Hallenback. (Reminds me, I need to take that to work this morning to show my friend.) That lasted all day and after some supper I was back to work pressing...

OT - setting for 9-patches? by Johanna Gibson
As I was packing all of my quilt blocks and charms the other day, I found a bunch of 9-patches from a swap I was in last year (it's still going on, over on swapping2friendship, if you're interested). These are 8" blocks finished, and I have 25 in blue, 25 in gold, 25 in red and 25 in brown. The 4...

SM Frustration by Helen in MN
I am regularly getting my HST beginning corners stuck in my machine (Janome 3500. I have a throat plate with just a small hole. I even try the little piece of fabric first. But it still all bunches up and won't go through. Could I be using the wrong size of needle? Would that make any...

Mary-Ellen Hopkins by Poke First National
I spent an enjoyable day last Saturday along with 100+ other patchwork quilters attending a Mary Ellen lecture at Latrobe in Tasmania. Maybe there is hope for me ploughing through my scraps after all if I use her short cut and easier methods. At 74 years old she is still a dynamo. However, I...

OT Tiess in a Squishie by She in PA
MaizeI don't think my post went through this morning. I am on cable now and finally got everything set up I think. I was wanting to thank Betty for the tie squishie she sent me. I don't have her e-mail address. I hope you read this. I will be sending a snail mail thank you. She

Teflon by Betty in Wi
Has anyone tried those teflon sheets that you can tape on your sewing machine bed so that the quilt moves more freely when you are quilting---or just plain sewing. The quilt seems to stick to the new sewing machine table I bought for my Bernina. They cost $19.95 in Keepsake Quilting and are only 9...

Quick Bind by ALZ
Has anyone used the Martelli Quick Bind. I've had nothing but frustration. First it won't fit my PQ 1500, so I'm using it on my Bernina 1630. The plastic snap on attachment isn't rigid, so it moves all over while I'm sewing and have have to use my elbow to keep it straight while I feed the quilt. ...

OT- teenagers by Joanne Passmore
"There are times when about the only thing you can do with a teenager is wish you had more duct tape." Just to reply to some of the earlier posts on 'kids'. I would say just hang on tight to them and tell them how much you love them...(even while they are driving you crazy!) I am a guidance...

I am signing off for now. We are leaving tomorrow for a 3 week work/vacation trip back home. I give a talk at a workshop, hence my ticket is being paid for. They must really want to hear what I work on, considering the ticket is like $1300! :o) Coming back Oct. 16th. We still have to go buy some...

OT - Dazed and confused... by Kate Dicey
...cat! Cornflake had an argument with a car on his way home from the orchard this morning, and is slightly concussed. There appear to be no major injuries, but I've left him at the vet for the morning for observation. The lass who bumped him was as shocked as he was, poor thing! The lads who...

Stash building by MoragP
When you buy fabric for your stash, how much do you buy. This is just fabric you love but for which you have no immediate use. I seem to have a million fat quarters, some of which are no longer available as yardage, and I'm stuck making scrappy quilts. Oh well, I guess it's time to pick a pattern...

NOT my favourite colours by Denise Jameson
But, I'm happy dancing just the same. I was 'conned' by our guild president to make 'something' with a couple of fabrics she chose as a challenge. Our guild is having a show in October and these entries will be displayed together and judged both by a judge and by viewer's choice. You can see it...

Signature Quilt and Gel Pens by DavesFatChick
Hey all, I'm working on this evil project my mother wrangled me into. It's a signature quilt. We went with gel pens because of the expense (all mine, but I got 85% of the pens back). I know I read about this before. I need to set the ink with an iron, right? Any special instructions? Also, I...
