Has anyone done this challenge or seen a quilt or even, just one block, done with those butterfly wings? I have a relative who is getting married, she loves butterflies, and she wants me to make her a bed size quilt as a wedding present (by July next summer)with those Hoffman gold and...

I know I haven't posted much in a long time but I need prayers now. I had 2 heart attacks last week and now facing double bypass surgery tomorrow. Please pray for the surgeons and for me that I can return to family, quilting, and work soon. -- Mary This is a day the lord has made. Let us...

Who received the Worst Christmas present? I've received a gaggle of pin cushions. The cutsey-poo crafty kind. (groan) I don't like pin cushions, don't use them and do (a whole lot) hate useless clutter. I did an appropriate amount of ohhh! and ahhh! but it just might be that they get...

what Key things do you ask/look for when you want someone else to quilt your top? for hand quilters and for long arm? price experience referals but what am i looking for in each?

What a miracle! I am setting up my new sewing room and started going through all the boxes that had been packed up by the crews of people after the tornado. A large portion of my fabric stash had been in the attic. The attic and second floor were missing after the tornado. I opened a box full...

It is that time of year when the small creatures are looking for nesting materials. I have been keeping smaller scraps of batting and flannelette for the last several months to leave near the ravine. The last pieces that I put out disappeared almost immediately - it was fun to watch the squirrels...

I made this bag for the gift exchange we have at our small group's Christmas party. I have to say this was a real bear to make! The bag is has a layer of two sided fusible Timtex stabilizer on the sides. The bottom has TWO layers of Timtex. Sewing that seam to attach the bottom to the sides...

Howdy! From: Sarah Curry scurry@z... Date: Mon Oct 13, 2003 9:22 pm Subject: MeSue died, early this morning, for those of you who knew her. I'll forward Jeff's post from this evening to anyone who wants it. She was a remarkable young woman. I will miss her, too.

Or just being ignored? I was hoping for some feedback about sending quilts to be part of a museum display, but got no response. I'm trying again before I slink back to my corner... I've been asked to submit some quilts to a museum wishing to mount a display of "religious quilts." Since this is...

I am curious how you all keep your 'helpful' QI's safe in your sewing area. Until now, I have not had to worry about it. My Darius kitty had decided at the start he will only worry about checking the final project for comfort because it is too much work to help with the rest of it, unless you...

Hello! We've been having some lively conversations here lately. I do enjoy the various quilt topics, and some of the off topic as well. For me, every post would be even better if it was signed. Quite a few are not signed lately. When I send a "real" letter, I put a return address on the...

Can someone of you tell me how you find this paper? Do it work well? and what 's the right temperature, the same for cotton? I would...

Someone just posted a link to Charlotte Yde's homepage, and I went to have a look. I did see this before, but didn't notice her book page. Lo and behold, there was the Contemporary Quilts from Scandinavia, which I saw at a Quilt Festival and didn't get before someone else did (grrr). A couple of...

Started working on it last night, and finished this afternoon....boy, I sat on this project for almost a year (why do I do that).... wanted to get it out of the way before I finish some other projects, and boy am I glad I did. This is for my mother...she is going to use it for travel back and forth...

Help! I am finishing off the goody making so boxes can go our tommorow. My gingerbread men came out man shaped gingerbread cakes, and my cut outs came out as cunningly shaped scones! My chocolated for dipping has sheared! AHHHH! *runs around in circles pulling hair cursing, and generally...

Hi everyone, I've written here a few times. I mostly lurk to see what I can learn. I started quilting on Oct. 11th and I think I might be addicted. :o) I've done a pillow, a few table runners, placemat, a Santa decoration and six various blocks. I started a mystery quilt on New Years Eve. It was...

I would never have called you a harvester! Never! I'm too nice for that! ROFLOL - welcome to the best group on the net! -- Sharon From Melbourne Australia (Queen of Down Under) http://www.geocities.com/shazrules/index.html wrote in message...

You guys have seen mention of my "surrogate dad" here on the group. When I was growing up, after my dad had taken off - Keith was my mom's best friend, did the stuff around our house that the "Dad" would usually do, built bicycles on Christmas eve for me - took me to dance and gymnastics. Tempered...
