Well, the Annual RCTQ Quilting Week came and went in a blur. I did get some squishies cut and sent, I cut a few squares to be used in the scrap siggie swag, and I thought many times of getting into the groove, but just never did get there. Yesterday the group that I quilt with making charity...

hey, neighbours! to all my US neighbours, I came across this on a list I get: Have you filed your taxes yet? The IRS was told to stop collecting the federal excise tax on your phone bill last year and you can apply for a credit on the money you have already paid. It’s on line 71 of your form...

Several years ago my Mom sent me a book of quilt patterns, all pretty and flower sort of things, with a note that said she loved the patterns but she had obviously gotten too old to quilt as she couldn't make any of the patterns work. No matter what, everytime she went to start a quilt, she got it...

I'd meant to quilt during our annual quilting week, but after working full time (normally I work 16 hours a week), and trying to catch up with all the normal stuff we do in a week, there just wasn't any time left over. So....today, I started a baby quilt top for a friend of mine. I haven't...

Here is my dilemma. I have been informed that one of my wifes nieces has just announced that she is pregnant and is going to have her first baby. My wife has (suggested) that I make a baby quilt for her. We are childless by choice and don't know much about these things: baby quilts that is, not...

I cut and pasted it, just received it this morning. It's a little good news but still doesn't sound that good for the future. Take Care Joanna Good morning Joanne, Thank you for your enquiry.

Missy: The only time I had this done was for a special project. I was a beginner quilter and the quilt had (still has!) EIGHT corners ... which means it has EIGHT inner angles too! I THINK I sewed the binding to front with SM, then had trouble turning it smoothly so hired it out. Maybe the...

It is time to change those rotary cutting blades and needles in the sewing machines around here. I was trying to get my sewing feet back under me and get some minor repairs and hems fixed up. HA HA! What kind of newsgroup is this that didn't remind me that blades are not magically eversharp in...

Sorry my message was as clear as mud. I did not mean to birth the binding I meant birth the quilt, then there is no need for binding. Essentially you put right sides together and sew almost all the way around. Leave an opening just big enough to reach in and pull right sides out. Then you can...

Sorry but I had to share cuz this just caused me to go "Wow." http://www.cheap-chic-weddings.com/wedding-contest-2006.html Take Care Joanna

It's been a few years, but we finally got a working version that we can run. Hope you enjoy it: http://www.reddawn.net/quilt/games.htm It should run on Netscape, Mozilla, and IE. It does not work with WebTV, sorry. Dawn

Hi there! I have a friend who is looking for a fabric from Wal-Mart. She has checked the stores in her area (NE PA) and I have checked six in the Washington, DC metro area and one in Baltimore and haven't found it. I have found the other four colors that it comes in, just not the yellow... I...

Just wanted to let our newbies know that we all started somewhere. I remember feeling way behind sort or left out of the loop when I first joined because I had only made a couple of quilts. Of those I never thought of getting a picture of them. Now my album is full. I've even made doubles of...

For anyone who makes circular quilts, this might be a source of design themes... http://www.frangipani.info/photography/main.php "You got that setting from a WHAT???" A lot of the photos aren't clear or big enough, though. ============== j-c ====== @ ====== purr . demon . co . uk ...

Some very clever quilter on this group helped me with building my doggy door by suggesting I use a cheap clear plastic auto floor mat for the swinging door part. It worked wonderfully- wish I could remember who thought of that so I could thank her again! Well, the two mats intended for the...

Hi Guys, I have been collecting shades of white and T-on-T white silks for a "end of the bed for decorative purposes only" all silk quilt for my DNiece Lisa. She is a very fussy person with a degree in Architectural Interior Design (OY -- ain't that a mouth full -- LOL). The reason for...

Well, I extended it one more day - I just have to finish the miter corners on the border of my quilt top and it will be done. My quilt is set on point, so the miter borders are a necessity. I have done it on smaller quilts but never on a queen size - I'm definitely stalling. Any quick...

I am asking here, because I know some computer gurus hang out here.. and it seems this group can answer any question. I can receive emails in Russian because somewhere, at some point, I set my computer to allow Cyrillic characters. Well, now I want to receive emails from my Japanese friends, but...
