OT Phone Damage ... Advice? by
Pat in Virginia
This is both a plea for advice and a whine!
Yesterday I spent the late afternoon applying stain to the deck
in the back yard. It was a nice day, and I was well supplied with
cold water, portable radio, and cordless phone. Work went well,
and I cleared up and came in the house and had a beer and...

Old Girl Scout fabric by
Pati Cook
When I was a Senior Scout, there was a "fad" to put all the badges and other
insignia from our previous Scouting onto the "wheat" colored Levi jackets.
Still have mine there. We wore them a lot.

The perfect thimble by
LN \(remove NOSPAM\)
I was talking to someone tonight that casts metal. I challenged him to make
me the perfect thimble as I have never found one. The only one that has come
close is a leather one I like to use, but eventually, the needle goes thru
it. So, I described my perfect thimble to him. He's gonna see what he...

stopped going to my aplique class by
Dr. Quilter
Let's see if you guys agree with me. I took an aplique class with Nancy
Chong and she taught us some basic skills that I think enable me for
doing aplique pretty well. What I need now is practice, which comes from
doing it, right? Together with my boss' secretary, we signed up for one
of those...

Quilt top finished.....now for the questions by
Debbi
If I am doing a quilt that is only 44" across, I do the top and bottom first
and then the sides so that I the length of one cut of the fabric will do. I
then piece the sides to make their appropriate size.

size of the top was known. I really oughtta take my own darn advice! I

Flannel advice please? by
Loren in Seattle
This group has given me some great advice on starting a flannel quilt, but I
still have a question. My blocks are very simple, large HST's, 8" wide.
Usually I square up HST's but the flannel seems like it needs less handling.
Or maybe since the block is so bit, but so simple that they are...
