I happened across a funny quilt, "The Perils of Sunbonnet Sue" at: http://www.tomorrowsheirlooms.cc/ On the left, click "Funny Bone" Then click the first "Episode". You will see a funny little movie & story about that block. You can click on "next" to see the next block's video. NAYY -- just...

The travelling quilt show of donated quilts for breast cancer support in Canada was cancelled because sponsorship was withdrawn by La-z-boy stores (economic reasons were given)..the website for the "The Quilt" has been updated instead to display several categories of quilt shows and the auctions...

My Webshots says I have had 4,198 views of my postcards! WOW!!! I received permission from Fiberarts Magazine to post the two pages of the article which includes the pic of my postcard. http://community.webshots.com/album/538623732Ygytfm How kind and generous they are to grant permission for me...

Several years ago we were hosts to a visiting Chinese student during Thanksgiving. She was familiar with the first Thanksgiving in the colonies. As we were passing food around the Thanksgiving table I explained the symbolism of each dish until I got to the Green Bean Casserole. How does one explain...

I saw a wonderful bundle of FQ in the store today but they did not have this pattern. I'd like to do something for my queen size bed. If anyone has this pattern handy could you kindly tell me the number of FQ required and the size it makes? I need some idea of what I can do. Please email me at...

http://community.webshots.com/photo/2029103070083763312unCnnX I love this quilt even if the only person to see it is me as it will proberbaly never go to a show. It is adapted from one that appears in Kitty Pippens book "Quilting with Japanese Fabrics" and I loved it the first time I saw...

I missed the guilty secrets thread but I must confess to mine: rescue not too expensive old quilts in need of love ($65 is the most I've paid for any of these) and bring them back to splendor (as much as possible). So a few days ago I posted pics of my collection of old, well loved quilts in need...

Well, the move is just about to happen. My computer will be shut down, sometime tomorrow. As I don't know when, I thought I should just let you know that I will be out of touch. I might even be back Wednesday? - even if only for a test; but more likely it will be Friday. I have to wait on...

Saw this on Sewing w/nancy some time back. decided to do it-started w/navy blue sweat shirt just bought. in closet ,found gorgeous silky material-bright jewel tones-from "fancy-shmancy" party dresses-from my "cocktail party days-(which i'm about to cut up)... any suggestions/tips/warnigs?

p.s. She's known as the 'Dog Lady'. I'm not making that up. I'm feeling really stupid here. I got the Malec pattern and fat quarters to do a Golden Retriever wallhanging for Uncle Harold, who turns 70 in July. And are the directions vague or am I addled? **If you haven't made one of these,...

While looking through furniture stores today dd and I happened on a really pretty embroidered import quilt. I walked over to take a look at it and dd shoook her head and made this comment: "made lovingly by chinese dissidents". Kid gets her sense of humor from her father. Taria

Happy Sunday all, Just suppose (gulp!) someone bought a fat quarter instead of a 1/4 metre of fabric, would she be OK cutting down the length instead of across the width? She knows (halelluiah!) that there is a difference in the amount of 'give' in a lengthwise cut, but in a state of blissful...

To update the list a little, it appears that i have enough bits to make DH's quilt unless I decide (or it) needs a certain colour, etc the quilt has already told me how it wants to constructed but not fabric placement but then it's supposed to be a scrap quilt I guess I'll just have to make sure...

and I have a Valentine Red cast for the next 4 weeks. Seems like that lil fracture at the base of the nail on the R big toe is healing very slowly....but it's healing. And to think I took Das Boot, that already has hearts all o'er it with me, to the appt just hoping. Course the cast is lighter...

Photos are uploaded at http://community.webshots.com/user/barnyowl in the table runner album. My nephew asked some time ago for a yellow runner to coordinate with a chair and artwork. I know that the chair appealed to him because it is definitely one that my Mum (his Granma) would have called...

My son's quilt from his grandma is going to need some repairs soon and I need the expertise of the group. It is not an 'old' quilt per-say. Just one that he was given a few years back that has been loved and thus washed frequently. As a result of the washings and use, the binding is wearing...

Shambles is my friend's golden lab (8yo) and the Quiltmaker paper pieced pattern was the perfect picture of her. I made it up this weekend in the hopes that I WILL finish it before I see my friend again - it is her birthday this month and I had planned to make something special for her this year...

We've all seen the pink ribbon fabric for breast cancer support, and even some teal ribbon fabric for ovarian cancer support. The American Cancer Society (and maybe other support organizations) supports other cancer patients too. Each seems to have a certain color for support ribbons. (I have...
