Where has everyone gone as my Christmas greeting was the last post?? Just finished a sailboat quilt for a boys bed. Think the pattern came from McCall's quilting. It had 4-half squares for the sails. A rectangle with another 2 half squares on each end for the boat. Found some material that...

I attempting a 4-panel manga, which can be found he https://www.flickr.com/photos/brian0908/albums/72157680223526176 (I hope the second one is not too racy). Well, anyway, for my next installment, I was thinking of adapting one or more of the following jokes:...

This is my next quilt block called Squash Blossom and is 18 inches square. I am doing mine in Native American colors of turquoise, native print that has several colors for the center. This quilt will also have sashing. The quilt can be made as large and wide as you want by just increasing the...

Hi All, Just checking in to see if any of the friends or recipients of Magic Mike's Scraps to Wraps Project are still around on this group. I don't get to check in often but I do often think about all the great people who were on this group. I am still alive and kicking since my brain and back...

This block is interesting because it blends well with American Indian Design. I enlarged the block to make a 12 inch block. I brought enough material from Holly Lobby for the centers(5 inch sq.) of Indian bowls material, the rest of bowl material will be the outer border/binding. Am using...

Sometime in the past, I suppose, I started making a pair of gi pants for a martial arts class I was in at the time, which I did not finish (the pants, not the martial arts class). A few days ago, I found the pieces of it, 2 legs that had the inseam sewn on each leg, but the legs had not yet...

I ordered the wonder clips, and Amazon's estimate is that it will arrive between the 19th and the 29th, but other orders from Amazon have gotten to me faster than their estimate. I think my first project when I get them will be to finish the pants I talked about. The inseams are made with...

Have a couple of comments to make about this quilt. They should of spent more time developing the pattern as there is too much waste of background material. The way the pinwheels are made, when you sew them together as blocks, some of your points are actually sewn off when you connect the blocks....

Hello Barbara, Thank you for your comments about making quilts. Is this the only quilt or fabric newsgroup that you know of?? It just seem like some have left our newsgroup. Just hope Brian never leaves because I depend on his help so much. Sandy$

This quilt is not the batik material that I used before. This time I just used 2-5 1/2 inch print squares for front wings, then another 2-5 1/2 inch solid/or mini print squares of contrasting material for back wings and then drew a line crosswise on each 2 1/2 inch white Kona material squares(need...
