Ohio Star and Snails Trail Done by
[email protected]
The Ohio Star quilt turned out really good and fast since it had 15 inch blocks. Then I started Snails Trail or a version of it. It has been called Galaxy and Andromedia too so don't really know the original version. It is a very colorful quilt, just lots of bright colors. Wish I could take a...

NuStyle quilting machine by
[email protected]
My wife has a chance to buy a used Nustyle model 228 quilting machine,
about 10 years old. The price is good, but I'm wondering if anyone has
any good, or bad opinions on it. She is a home user, and is doing this
for a hobby. We do not need a production machine.
Thank you.
Ed

On a Roll now/ Curves and Steps/Bear Mountain quilt by
[email protected]
I just finished a quicky quilt, one of those no brainer kind. It was called Curves and Steps. You just cut 5 1/2 x 10 1/2 inches rectangles, then take 5 strips of 2 1/2 inch and sew them together(I did change the strips around from row to row) and cut them 5 1/2 inches. Those two sections are...

Bear Mountain Quilt by
[email protected]
Am I the only one that has these bad days where everything you do is wrong?
I got my two different blocks done and the blocks that I did the applique on gave me the beginning of my problems. The applique made them shrink so when I put the two blocks together I am short by say 2/8 inch. Have you...

Anniversary by
Nann[_2_]
Twenty years ago yesterday -- August 2, 1995: my first post to RCTQ. I lived in Fargo then. The public television station offered inexpensive internet (email) access -- two hours a day. The service included a range of UseNet Newsgroups, among them RCTQ. I was a novice at both quilting and the...

Hot Pads and more by

Those Flying Geese by
[email protected]
Hello All,
I did some testing on making flying geese. I first used 3 7/8th and found the line did not match on the geese wing piece's so you do have to use 2 1/2, 3 1/2 and etc. I also tried different background fabrics and found that Kona fabric was the best and you can buy it at JoAnn's...

My Scrappy Quilt by
[email protected]
I just started this quilt because I saw a picture of it in a magazine, so with no pattern I graphed it. It is a very simple quilt. Will try to explain how it is made and you can make any size. 1st a 5 1/2 inch square for center, then added two (3 x 5 1/2 inches) to the sides, another set of two...

"sea silk", aka byssus from Sardinia by
Jack Campin[_2_]
I doubt this stuff is ever going to feature in a quilt, but it's
the most remarkable story about a textile craft I've read in a
long time:

I like the way it is not a commodity. A lot us treat our quilts

back from retreat by
Julia in MN[_5_]
I just spent about 4 days at a quilting retreat at a lovely camp in
northern Wisconsin. I had a great time and got quite a bit accomplished.
About 7 years ago, I took a "design a mariner's compass" workshop with
Gail Garber at the Minnesota Quilt Show. I completed the center and
added one...

It's been so long since I've posted here. I usually spin through FB and "like" just about everything. Rarely have the time to post anywhere these days.
Hope all the old crowd is doing well! I will have to spill all my escapades and adventures later...

Pine Trees and squares by
[email protected]
I found this picture of a quilt in a magazine or quilt flyer. It is very simple except for the pine trees. There are 16 squares in one block and then the pine tree block. I have never made a pine tree before, so this looks like a challenge for me. Since I have only a picture and no instructions,...

Thought I better clue everyone in on what I am doing now. I have made two sets of 4 place mats/napkins for my kitchen and didn't like either one, so they will go to the Senior Centers craft show along with those hot pads I make after every quilt to get rid of extra fabric. I also finished pin...
