The 3 kits I volunteered to do on Tuesday arrived on Friday.... Pretty quilt shop quality fabric, very colorful, and precut into 6.5" squares, and enough strips to piece into strata to cross-cut and make 15 four-patch blocks for each quilt, plus plenty fabric for the backing. All I have to provide...

I loved a striped quilt and collected for a long time so I could make one mine. When I had enough stripes, I didn't remember why I was collecting them. After pondering your kind suggestions, I figured plain old basket weave should be a good beginning. Plan A. I arranged the pieces with...

Hi Everybody! I think it would be fun to see all the quilt guilds we belong to; so, how about we all send a link to our guild's website. It should be fun. Mine is http://newbraunfelsareaquiltguild.org By the way, I'm the webmistress. Michelle G.

Does anyone have any experience with this store, either online or brick-and-mortar? The prices are extremely attractive, but I wanted to get some feedback first from other shoppers. Thanks! Tina in Sowal

For Christmas I received a digital book from Amazon called the Kindle. It's about the size of an 8x10 sheet of paper and about 1/4 inch thick. It can hold a huge library of books and is going to replace, ultimately, my paper back book collection to free up some shelf space for, you guessed it,...

I've bought the elephant pattern http://www.rumpledquiltskins.com/2009/06/elephant-pattern.html and was wondering if anybody had made any RQS animals using flannel rather than ordinary cotton fabric? DD has requested one in yellow. Lizzy

Somebody here asked me a while back to check whether this shop was still open, and it is, and I finally got around to visiting it yesterday. It is really super -- a very large inventory of fabrics, notions, and books, all at prices comparable to those I've seen at on-line stores. The lady...

I won! I entered a contest to name the new fabric line of Kona Bay Tonal prints. The Kona Bay staff voted my entry "Rain Shadows" as the top vote getter in the naming of their new line of fabric. I won 5 - 1 yard peices of this new line! This is part of Kona Bay's Spring collection so I do have...

The stupid tree is gone away! A daredevil team of two guys, an electric chainsaw, and a pickup truck came and cut it to bits. I do mean daredevil quite seriously too. The one guy put on a pair of boot claws and climbed the tree with the chainsaw, while the other guy stood on the ground and...

I'm doing the mindless task of adding logs to log cabin blocks. They are all cut to size, so no thinking required. This is a bed sized quilt designed to practice the feather quilting method in the book "Hooked on Feathers". Then it will reside on my bed. I was pondering the thread to quilt...

I pulled out one of my 'standbys' the other day to snip a piece for a little swap wallhanging I'm making and was pleased to see that I still have a lot of that particular piece of fabric. In my stash I have several pieces like that -- bought several years ago (most of them at estate sales) and now...
