Magic Circle (?) Templates by
joan8904 in Bellevue Nebraska
I've been accumulating fabric (pale blue and pale yellow batiks) for a
Robbing Peter to Pay Paul quilt. I want to do the 'easier' technic of
stitching two circles together, turning them and sewing them together
into a square. A version was in a fairly recent Fons and Porter
magazine. I know...

Small happy dance by
Sandy
This is almost cheating, since I used pre-quilted fabric. My local group
learned how to make origami bags a couple of weeks ago, and I finally

queen size quilt frame. I am in the midst of a queen size quilt that
I started hand quilting in a lap hoop. But I find that it is too
heavy and hot (living in New Orleans) to work on. So I thought, get a
frame,...

House sale, please keep fingers crossed by
Marigold
We just accepted a conditional offer on our house today, so I'm hoping that
the new place will have room for my hobbies! I must say that I am rather
stressed about the whole move idea as we have put in 3 different offers in
the last couple of months and they have all fallen apart. If all goes...

Sunny
but my scanner won't work and I can't find the camera. So I'm sitting
here with this top done and ready for quilting and no way to show it

wall hanging and it...
