Log Cabin - first block ever by Morag in Oxford
Hi ladies, I'm a completely self taught quilter, and still a very novice one at that. I always liked the look of a log cabin quilt so today made my very first block out of scraps. Was very pleased with the ease of making it - it looks so much more complex than it actually is! Went through my...

Quilt blocks for charities... by Carol in MO
I'm looking for a web site that solicits crocheted squares to be made into "quilts". My 98 year old mother is looking for something constructive to do with her time. She has been crocheting "hangers" for family but wants to do something more. I know I ran across a site for this once but can't...

fabric on e-bay by Don/Gen

OT- Celebrating... by Julia in MN
five years since my lumpectomy, which was followed by radiation. My most recent mammogram was good. I can quit taking the tamoxifen. Maybe that will cut down on the hot flashes (which have become much less bothersome over the years). Yippee! Julia in MN -- This message has been scanned for viruses...

Doh! by teleflora
Did you ever have one of those moments where you just slap YOURSELF upside the head?? I am doing a paper pieced name. I came across this darling site that had the alphabet made for you. I printed out the blocks I needed, made 3 of the letters before it dawned on me that I should have mirror...

Kona Cotton by Judie in Penfield NY
I just got my latest Joann's flyer and there is a coupon for 10% off the total purchase. There is no 40% off coupon anywhere! So, I will probably be doing even more on line purchasing and was wondering how the Kona cotton carried by some of the on line fabric stores compares to the quilters' only...

What is your favorite color to put in a quilt? by Tricia
Well, exactly like the subject line says -- What is your favorite color to put in a quilt? I haven't actually done one yet but I'm collecting starred fabrics for a quilt for mine and David's bed -- I frequently refer to it as our wedding quilt because it will have bits of fabric in it from...

Quilt Labels by AliceW
I put mine on after the quilting and usually in one corner so the binding catches two of the sides. The other sides are whip stitched with very tiny stitches. -- Alice in NJ, Royal Cybrarian http://www.ourcyberfamily.us/ "Just about the time a woman thinks her work is done, she becomes...

Fabric calculators? by Paul & Suzie Beckwith
I know that out there in cyberland there are websites that can help calculate yardage for quilts, but can anyone here do better maths than me?! My friend Debbie (yes, the one who fell off the ladder but is now doing really well, she gave the crutches back to the hospital a few weeks ago and is...

OT - does anyone watch..... by Queen of Squishies
Does anyone watch 7th Heaven? I teach on Monday nights and have been taping it. I've kind of been interested and following it by watching it on Tuesday afternoon during coffee break - which is now. But I just discovered there was some sort of malfunction last night and I didn't get it. Did...

New Bernina Stitch Regulator by Cheryl in Oz
Has anyone seen or tried the new Bernina Stitch Regulator? Do you know what it's like? I have been considering a new machine and while I don't have a Bernina now (a confirmed Janome user to date) I would definitely consider a domestic machine with stitch regulation. Is there any other machine...

Quilt Labels by Anne in CA
I *try* to remember to put it on before the quilting (if it is machine quilted) but often forget :-( so just blind stitch it -- like needle turn applique sort of -- by hand. Preferably before giving it away. But sometimes I forget until after it is gone. If hand quilting, it goes on after the...
