I have been side tracked from quilting to make some pincushions. I don't know what has gotten into me, but all I've wanted to do is make pincushions. I've been making 3" churn dash blocks. Added piping around the edge. I was given a Piping Trimming Tool by Susan...

So many here wanted to squish our European members, but email from Europe said thank you but it really isn't necessary. Since when was a squishie necessary? I didn't mean to isolate a squish between US and Europe. We could squish South Africa. We could squish New Zealand. Heck, we could squish

Larisa, who is off to enjoy her parents b eing here and trying to work out logistics of them living with us...oh wait, I shouldn't have said that because: "Ms.Vann continually posts every detail of...

I know there are no rules. You know that if I knew the rules I would likely find a way to break them but I am so puzzled. There's a totally dazzling Bali here - absolutely a riot of lime, rust, emerald, peach and others. I've never pieced with Bali before and don't have any clue what would be...

We're going to a concert on Dec 9th in West Des Moines (Val Air Ballroom). Is anyone here familiar with the area? I'd like a nice (no Super 8's for this girl!) hotel/motel fairly close to the venue. Also, any recommendations for quilt stores? : joan
