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...

I think I must be going out of my mind. My wife and I are going back to California for our 35th wedding anniversary, this summer. We, of course, will get together with my 4 brothers and sisters. I am thinking about doing 4 identical quilts to take back and give to each of them as a surprise gift....

Remember my dilemna last month on my colour choice for my quilt layout? I had laid the blocks out and re-arranged and looked at it for a couple of days and it still didn't do a thing for me. Well I got rid of the green and brown blocks and replaced them with burgundy blocks and different...

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...

http://community.webshots.com/user/barnyowl Enjoy her latest quilt. jennellh ".......This scrappy ( and how!) quilt originated from a design by Jolyn Olson in Am Patchwork Dec 01 that Butterfly sent me. Wonderful how a nice stack of older quilting magazines can be such a blessing. The quilt...

Since you'all have listened to me for the past umpteen years,,,,,,,,,I thought it'd be fair to post GOOD NEWS. Had my yearly check-up, and it went well. BEST PART: I can walk again--more than 'just do, and then sit again.....but actually WALK FOR 5 MINUTES before I have to sit and rest. No, I...

I'm finishing up my Seminole lap quilt. There are some areas with some heavy quilting that are ending up quite thin. (All cotton top and back, Batting is 80/20). I know this will soften up when I wash it, but will this affect how warm the quilt is? Or should I quilt less for a somewhat thicker...

This is fun and very easy! No cheating now. Pick your dessert, then look to see what psychiatrists think about you! After taking this dessert personality test, send this e-mail on to others, but when you do, be sure to put your choice of dessert in the subject line. ALSO, SEND IT TO...

DH just read these out from his WWII re-enactment forum, so I just had to share... they are kinda male-based but funny anyways! Universal Truths 1. Triangular sandwiches taste better than square ones. 2. At the end of every party there is always a girl crying. 3. One of the most awkward things...

I quilted a bunch of straight lines with a walking foot for the first time today, and found it quite . . . erm . . . challenging. I am pretty sure that the solution to most of my problems is practice, practice, practice, but I thought I'd make a few notes here and see if anybody has any words...

I'm hanging out in the Quilt Police chat room for a little while. http://www.thequiltshow.com/os/chat.php -- Kathyl (KJ) remove "nospam" before mchsi http://community.webshots.com/user/kathylquiltz

EMPLOYED! Not sure how many hours or how often right now but for the next two days I'm required to be in and learn the routine at the local LQS, www.calico-crafts.com. (I am affliated with them now but trust me, the website is very basic and I'm just sending ya all to look at the pictures of...

The facts here have been disguised to protect the innocent (not that I know anybody all that innocent). An elderly friend of ours is paying $ 800 per month for her medications. There are no generic substitutes and her miserable tight-wad prescription insurance company won't pay a dime to help...

At my flickr account, https://www.flickr.com/photos/brian0908/albums, I just posted some pictures of the quilt I am repairing, in the first album, called quilt progress. I also put a comment under each one that describes what the picture is of. I thought I might have to delete some pictures,...

Last year, I resolved to do something in the pineapple pattern. I didn't. I resolved to do something using a toile. I haven't. So just think of the time I've saved. Did any of you resolve to try something new and actually do it?

I am recovering from allergies that have stopped my ears up, so I am doing the minimum around the house and not talking on the phone. I need to take my SM to be repaired. No sewing is happening! So I have been working some in the sewing room to help get things ready for when the Pfaff will...

I was at a quilting retreat the last 2 days and one of the women asked the rest of us to keep our eyes open for fabric with steam engines on 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...
