Ok, should have thought about this before buying, but.... how likely is good quality (mostly Moda) flannel to run? If I wash it in advance (the colours are light vs dark), will it shrink thus leaving me with less fabric than I need to complete the quilt? It needs to be washable as it's going to...

I just added the B&W top I made over Christmas vacation and the little Christmas quilt plus updates on two others that were in my album as unfinished. http://community.webshots.com/album/37015880vszRXO

Received a beautiful floral squishie today with a lovely message - and it was anonymous. Whoever you are, I thank you - so much - for being so thoughtful, and for truly brightening my day. What a sweet surprise!! Thank you for your kindness... Hugz Patti in Seattle

I think novice may be overstating my experience of this...ummm beginner then. My question is about the base fabric used. I assume 100% cotton is a must, makes sense for a variety of reasons, but what weight/quality should I use, where do I get it from and how much should I expect to pay for it in...

To make a long story short, I have three purple and green quilt bags the size of a standard pillow case. I made them to hold three Quilts of Valor, but the longarmer finished the quilts and sent them of to Walter Reed Hospital without telling me. I don't think they are likely to match any future...

Someone posted something to me about a pic on Webshots of piping on rouching. I sorry I can't find the post now and I am about to get "cut off". There are a couple of methods for this in "A Fine Finish" by Mazuran. I cheated and machined the piping in place then hand stitched the rouching (just...

Anyone interested in doing a swap for fabrics for a candy jar quilt? We need a few more.... and are hoping to have the swapped squares back in your hands by Valentine's Day -- so we need to hustle up! Tuck them away .... Wouldn't this make a great Project Linus quilt??? Here is what we have so...

Does anyone know what a good quality fabric has for thread count per square inch? I read an ad for "beefy 60 thread count". Is that really good or not?? Never ever looked into this before. So I'm puzzled. :-~ Marlys in Indiana -- http://community.webshots.com/user/marletts

Me and Debbie finally finished her sons penguin quilt between us on Christmas Eve - and he loves it! Photos in my webshots directory (cunningly in a folder called Toms Penguin Quilt) Thanks to all those who helped with the fabric calculations for the squares when my brain went AWOL! Suzie B

How now been finished as of last night. I will take photos after I get the top finished up for the RCTQ bom Quilt. I planed out the placements this AM. and I am a yard short of two fabrics.. ( guess that is what I get for buying fabric before planning) LOL So I am going to sneak down to Sherman,...

Is anyone participating in this round of the FabShop Hop? If so, I could use a little help in finding a bunny. I'm up to the Q's and can't seem to find the bunny on the www.quiltworld.com page. Has anyone found it, and if they have would you be willing to give me a hint? Thanks! Tigg (who...

I just heard that the magazine has accepted the patterns I designed for publication - although they were designed with the magazine in mind and I was commissioned to do so it was still uncertain if the magazine would indeed actually publish. they are going to be published later this year if all is...

I just registered to do income tax self-assessment on-line, coz all the ads tell you it's really quick... What they DON'T tell you is that you need to allow 4-7 days for the security checks to go through, so it takes 4-7 days to get the much needed activation pin... GRR! So I go all through the...

I went to this show in Ontario, CA on Thurs. for the first time. It was very busy - I can't imagine what the weekend days will be like! There were fewer quilts than I expected but they were WONDERFUL. I took about a dozen pics but haven't yet developed them. There were more vendors than anywhere...

Wasn't someone was looking for an appropriate symbol for a calendar quilt to be hung in a Jewish School? Ran across this today....lovely symbols that could be adapted for that purpose: http://www.magneedle.com/judaica_symbols1.asp And this site: http://www.jewfaq.org/signs.htm looks like a useful...

I've decided I need to make a New York Beauty quilt someday, paper pieced. Where should I start? Which books should I buy? Karen Stone's book seems to be out of stock on amazon (where I have a gift certificate). Valori Wells' Radiant NY Beauties is there though. Does anyone know if either of...
