Hi all, I'm sitting here thinking about what my next quilt will be and was wondering how you all decide what to do next. I've been through every pattern on quilters cache and just can't decide! Do I want to use one pattern or several patterns? Start with colours and choose a pattern or start...

I visited my LQS (60 plus miles away) today to pick up an open toe walking foot, and while there looked at their tables. The brand is Horn, and Wow! are they fab. There is an airlift touch release to raise and lower the SM from it's well, and there is lots of room on top so fabric will slide easily...

Have any of you made your own chenille pannels? I am thinking of using a baby quilt panel and 3 layers of flannel but after I sew my lines and cut through the 3 layers, do I wash it then or do I put on a binding first, then wash it? or do I even put on a binding? -- Dianne Prince Edward...
