Smooth rolling vs rough braking by Jennifer Hepworth
It may not be caused by a dull rotary blade afterall though continued use will have that result. The next time you pick up your rotary cutter - take a moment to dismantle it and to look closely at the shaft of the holding screw. I was having 'sudden braking' and 'jerky starts' while using my...

ROFLOL--- almost on topic by The HairyFacedOnes 'N Me
Back when we had cattle and horses and goats and chickens, ducks, guinea fowl and geese and owned many acres of land, I had a professionally made sign to post at our driveway...... "Doodlebug Ranch and Quilt Studio". Well, I no longer have all those critters, but when I built this house I posted...

Color vote for Stack and Whack by CHARLES MURPHY
This brought up several interesting points: Color is subjective! Everyone sees color differently and responds personally. The yellow makes the blue glow,actually enhances the blue, (additive property of color) The green makes the orange wings and red lady bugs dance. The light blue makes the...

OT grammar concerns by Roberta Zollner
To help you communicate more effectively with the rest of us, I forward these rules of grammar. Roberta in D 1. Verbs has to agree with their subjects. 2. Prepositions are not words to end sentences with. 3. And don't start a sentence with a conjunction. 4. It is wrong to ever split an...

Wacky-wedge quilting by Shawn
I've been perusing quilting magazine looking for one I liked and could suggest to DS's and DH that a subscription would make a nice little BD gift. Came across the June 2003 issue of Quilter's World. They have the directions in there for a wacky-wedge quilt that is gorgeous. It's called "Wizard's...

Kia Ora... by Kate Dicey
Vivien &/or Tony wrote: Kia Ora, Well, not really having worked on any quilts this year (which I intend to regard as Sabbatical rather than sloth), I am all fired up again. What got me motivated once more was DD#1 (she is 18 years old) asking if she could make a quilt. Not quite...

Way OT by Nell Reynolds
Try to think of this as salt water chocolate. Some months ago, Old Bay Seasonings had an essay contest (100 words or less) on Why I Like Shrimp Boiled with Old Bay Seasoning. As a dyed in the wool contester, I wrote my brief essay and forgot about it. On Friday, I got a phone call from Julie with...

Hi everyone! I just took a Stack n Whack class and we used Bethany's book on the subject. The book's smallest quilt makes 8 15" blocks. Our teacher gave us measurements on what size to cut the fabrics for making smaller quilts, but didn't have the yardage amounts. Has anyone ever figured out the...

Maple Leaf - Revisited by Jennifer Hepworth
Mardi, I don't understand why you would now want to put a 1" border around each block? It seems to me that ending up with a =BD" finished strip tagged on to each block only looks as though you want to avoid joining seams where there are points to match. If this is the case, then you could avoid...
