I am ready to put a baby quilt together. It will have an 1 1/2" binding (both sides). Ok now here is my question. I want to use only the 1/4" of the main quilt to attach the binding. Do I bring the batting even with the top or do I bring it out the extra 1 1/2" and fold the extra binding over it? I...

somewhere, I've seen, heard, or read a plan for doing 3 baby quilts out of 3 pieces of fabric and each ending up a mixture of all 3, or something like that! Anyway has anyone else come across this, have a link, or anything? Anne

I have been looking for something I thought was a pounce or pouncy. It was a soft container for marking chalk that y9ou could pounce over the top of a plastic quilting template and the chalk would come through the container and make your pattern in chalk on your fabric. HELP! What are these...

I'm wondering about what to use to fill a pincushion. Any suggestions? I thought about cotton batting. What do you all think? I was thinking that it's kinda funny that a person would need more than one pincushion. But it's necessary. One for quilting pins, another for silk pins, appliqué...

a sewing rather than quilting question, but I expect you ladies will have some ideas! I have a bikini that I really like the cut of, only problem is, it's wearing thin (I wear it regularly in an indoor pool), it looks like a very simple pattern, the top is more like a cropped top, no cups and...

Does anyone know where I can find a pattern for one of those fabric bags that have holes on each end, and a handle to hang from a door knob, to store your plastic grocery bags in???

Anyhow, if I am scarce, it's not cuz I'm not interested. It's...
