Ok, Thank you for the info on storing my fabric. Now this is for those that wash their fabric before doing anything with it. After you wash it ,do you all iron it right away, or fold and put away until you need it? If it is put away on shelves do you wash again and iron again or what? This is for...

In sorting out the sewing room, I have heaved out a bag of scraps. I must weigh it, but a guess would say three or four pounds, all nice qualities, some tiny, some almost a fat quarter. Yell if you went it - first to answer gets the lot! -- Kate XXXXXX Lady Catherine, Wardrobe Mistress of the...

I've been working on a simple flannel quilt, blue/yellow HST's. Because the pressing direction was confusing me and there are seams with lots of points coming together, I started working with the quilt blocks face down so I could track my pressing directions. It was a great technique BTW. Today...

On my drive to town today I managed to catch two different radio commercials for a facial cream/lotion I shall not mention by brand name but which is marketed to the "mature" woman. I enjoyed them both immensely! One had the catchy phrase "Now I can tell the dreamboats from the shipwrecks" which...

I get my Bernina tuned on a regular basis, and yet am still unable to even attach a binding without skipped stitches. Any ideas out there? Happens whenever I try to sew through more that just fabric (ie batting, fleece, etc) -- Lady Cynthia, Royal...

Well, I've just finished the second birthday block for a friend. One will be having a surprise birthday tomorrow with a snowman theme and the other's will be in September. But both had deadlines. We're hoping to have a finished quilt for one tomorrow. Not involved with the second...

Thank you to Charlotte Hensen and Christina (via Merry Stahel). I was so excited when I got some squishies. Didn't think they could possibly be for me. They sure made my day. I'll be sure to be using them soon. First I need to fondle a while. Cathy in Oshkosh WI

Hi, When you hit the part of sending to a friend,(myself) it sends one and asks for name and address to put you on their flyer list. The one they send you has a different bar code # on it. I don't know if that makes a difference to anyone, just thought I'd let you know. Have fun using the coupon. I...

Boy, have I done it now.! I've fallen in love with EQ5 for designing, so I bought the Spring 2003 version of Stash. I've got a couple of baby quilts to make, so the other night I sat down and did some designing. One of the fabrics I put into this quilt came from Stash. It's from Timeless...

Well, it came to the point where dad needed a trach. So that happened Sat morning and they also put a feeding tube into his stomach. Doctor said this is being done for the long haul. (hard to hear that coming directly from a doctor rather than from mom) The surgery went well and he was put into ICU...

I've been asked by a very dear friend to "make a quilt". The first person she'd asked gave up quilting (apparently it was one of those "fads"). She'd purchased a heap of FQ in the USA and wants to incorporate those (warm reds/blues/beige with some stripes/plaids/stars - totally gorgeous) with...

I keep trying. If it worked this time, it's all thanks to Mardi. LOVE those transparent gifs! Betty in CT

The rest of you can read this, too. :) I found another pattern for scrappy strips! Mumbo Gumbo, by Pie In the Sky Quilts. www.pieintheskyquilts.com Click on the left-hand pie. Rats--now I have ANOTHER idea that I can't start just now. :P I really need

My DH said "will you make a quilt for someone who is having a baby?" I said sure. I didn't know if it would be a boy or girl, so I used green and yellow with some blue and a little purple and pink. Now that it is pieced, he has decided that it didn't look like a quilt for a baby. Can you give my...

I don't post here, or even really read posts here daily. But I had to take time out to post a thank you to those of you that do, because I harvested a lot of information from this group for my wife as she searched for sewing machine. She's become interested in quilting in the last year or so and...

Hi, all, Welll, after church today, I will be going to TSWLTH with TWO 50% off coupons, TWO birthday gift certificates, AND some birthday money! Happy dance! I'm thinking of using the coupons for books, and if I can't find any that I like, I'll use it for a 9 yard hunk of backing fabric to use...

Thanks you! The quilt was an interesting project to tackle. I knew the subject of quilt as you go comes up here with some regularity, so I decided it might be a good idea to document what I did and share it with all of you. I hope people find it helpful. Julia in MN Lynn Tocker wrote: Hi...
