Lynne Van
I decided, a week or so ago, that as I had just finished (all
'cept the borders) the stars and plaids quilt top (it's
gorgeous) and hadn't quite figured out what I want to do on the
borders yet, and seeing as I quite self righteously had cleaned
the bathroom and done the laundry on Thursday,...

Steam engine fabric by
Julia in MN
I was at a quilting retreat the last 2 days and one of the women asked

it. Have any of you ever seen anything like that? I do plan to do some
Internet searching when I have a little more time, but thought someone
might have seen...

eaten...I went ahead and worked on the center blocks. I have those done noe

My Happy Dance by
Sindir
Well, my first ever quilt is done!!! My binding looks pretty good in the
front, but if you turn it over it's pretty uneven. The stitching leaves
something to be desired. I machine stitched the front half and then turned
it and finished it by hand. I'm sure I'll get better at that as I...

Rag Quilts with Binding by
JoyceG in WA
I've recently been working on some rag quilts, mainly because it's something I
can finish in a reasonable amount of time. I've noticed some rag quilts in
the LQSs that have traditional binding, and others that have the snipped and
frayed edges. I was wondering if using binding on the edges is...

What is going on with Micros**t? by
Piglet
It doesn't come from Microsoft; it's a virus sent by folks who, to say the
least, don't wish the folks in Redmond well.
