I think the database is complete -- please over the next week - 10 days stop in and take a look -- be sure that your entries are correct. I tried to watch that all entries met our 120 inch requirement so if you submitted something that isn't listed... that's probably why! I did let one "small"...

Well, I'm finally getting more done in the new sewing room. (Fabric closet cleaned, caulked, and painted; shelving 90% installed.) Now I'm working on design wall options. It occurred to me that I need multiple moveable massive design walls. (I was going to say "large", but the alliteration struck...

My DH and I are just starting the exploration of building our dream retirement house and I am going to have a bedroom to use as my sewing/stitching room. Today, as we discussed some of the house plans in a book we are studying, we measure out one room that is 12 X 11 and decided that the Koala...

I got two chunks of patriotic fabric as part of the last watchagotbox. since I am probably never going to use it (americana is not my style) I'll send them to whoever writes first. Warning, not sure if they are 100% cotton or if you'll like the quality, one is a little stiff and the other a tinsy...

Ok, as I've sort of mentioned in other posts, I'm finally getting a sewing studio! Currently, most of my sewing things are in the corner of my bedroom. Quilting is done in the parlour, ironing in the bathroom, and cutting is done at the dining table. Some days I get quite an aerobic workout! The...

Dear quilters, I remember last Easter I had one of my granddaughters, Erica, stand in for me in the Senion Choir at church. I was so grateful to have her care so much. Through the year of trying to get well, I have had to with draw from the choir all together, and infact from that church as the...

I'm right here. I had to move last summer because of all kinds of reasons, mostly health and lost my sewing room. Had to get rid of LOTS of things that I had become quite attached to, like my grandmother's bed and my mangle Ironrite ironer and Lord knows how much stash and craft stuff and two...

usually 2-1/2" for double binding. It is always so nice to get to the binding part of a quilt! Taria Jan wrote: Just out of curiosity.... how wide do you all cut your binding???

DD hollered "quilt shop" when the news was on earlier. Story was about rain/flooding in the southeast and there it was a sign that said quilt shop in standing water.
