I got a post about this on another group and thought some of you might also be interested. Linda Franz (of quilted diamonds fame) has come out with a new product called Inklingo. It is a CD with Adobe Reader pages of quilting templates. You print the templates onto the wrong side of your...

A few people have contacted me about the Meshwork book I just bought so I have posted the front and back covers on Webshots so you can see some meshwork and the ISBN http://tinyurl.com/otdzp The book also has a wavy version made up as a vest, but from the pictures (I don't read Japanese) this...

A friend has asked me to seek the wisdom of this group. She is having trouble with the Kite Quilt from "So Many Quilts" magazine of March/April 1998. The bottom half of the kite section curves inward no matter what she does with it. If anyone here has made this quilt, do you have any handy...

Forget it. If you imagine you can use up scraps, it can *not* be done. I wanted to make a biscuits quilt for a preemie / shelter baby. I thought the biscuits would make a special soft place for the little guy. Instead of cutting into big yardage, I imagined using all the bit and pieces in...

Hello folks, It seems that Sasha has diarrhea (I know, not the most pleasant thing to talk about). I went out at a quarter to 5 to help my friend Keiko with her triplets (15 months old) and she seemed fine. When I came back at 10:30, she looked upset. I found that she had not been able to get...

Hi Everyone, I went to my Guild's retreat from Thursday thru Sunday in Sonoma, CA. It's the first time I have gone. Everyone always raves about how much fun it is & this year, I made my mind up to go. I went with 3 other girlfriends, but I can see how you could easily go by yourself. Our...

I appreciated all the thoughts on the front loading washers but was left curious about one thing. Do the front loaders leave 'some' water from one wash to the next? We have to leave our washer lids open a while after washing to dry out so they don't sour and mildew. My mama said so. Polly

don't remember who usually does this, but I have a nagging feeling it was someone on vacation or away for medical/other reasons... so here they are! http://www.kjbeanne.com/rctqfaqs.htm hope they help Kellie

I received a lovely squishie in the mail and have been trying to track it down, but can't, so...until I can find the name and send a personal thank you...THANKS SO MUCH!!! Larisa

Last week, prior to the chaotic weekend, I shipped out some things to members of my klovely RC^TQ family (sorry for typos, still tyring to figure out this typiong with an immobile finger, and forgetting that I have to look at the keyboard now). I have only heard from one person that she...

Anyone attend the Hershey show this weekend? My guild Prez had a redwork quilt entered and I wondered if she won a prize. It was truly worth one. Nancycog in MD

I took two quilts to a small fair this week and got a blue ribbon on the floral one and a red ribbon on the stack n whack. Today I am taking them to a small town for their quilt show this weekend. I am also teaching a Ricky Tims convergence class on Sat. Yesterday our quilt group spent the whole...

Hey, Ragmop! I just got word that this will be our new community shuttle vehicle: http://www.hybridtechnologies.com/products.php?sec=1&id=3 They're aiming for a September 15 delivery date. Now all we need is a good LQS in my neighborhood to take the shuttle to. (And no cracks about how there...

I just found a quilting podcast for anyone who is into that. It's called Driven to Quilt and I only listened to a couple but it sounds pretty cool. I wonder if she has ever posted here (?) I liked it, not affiliated, etc. I got it from iTunes but I think you can get it here,...

I recieved an email this morning from one of the several online shops I use. It's about Patchwork Party 2006. I am very new to quilting so this is a new thing for me. Does anyone here buy the patchwork? Do you know basically how long this goes on for? The patch's are beautiful, but the kits...

Here's the deal: I am working on a log cabin with a twist for my son. He chose the fabric and it isn't all 100% cotton (a first for me, but it is working okay) The problem is I didn't get enough of two of the fabrics. I have been to every JoAnn's in the Houston area and one in OKC, and one...

Yep, finished the first quilts since January this past week....and it feels sooooo good. They're for a friend in LA who lost her house and most of her possessions in the hurricanes, who is living in a FEMA trailer with her two young grandsons (5 and 18 months). Look at my yahoo photos link, in...

I'm about half way through piecing my quilt top. This will leave me about 1 month before it needs to be warming my relatives. So, I am thinking about the quilting. I will be using a fairly low loft wool/poly batting. Can you more experienced ppls tell me if I can quilt it myself in that time? I...
