Hi Cheryl I've enjoyed browsing your entire website, you are one talented lady! I do have a couple questions.... on the Folded Patchwork Christmas Tree, I'm intrigued enough to try to make one of those triangles but I can't figure out how to do the part where you fold and stitch, what do you stitch...

Lots of information for a 2 day class. Short version of her 5 day class. Wish I had the other 3. Can't wait to see her show and tell and two different lectures tomorrow. Love the way the blocks are coming. Only made 9, but a good start. Good input into background and borders. If you like folk...

I just had to post and tell you all: I finally found a way to put my sewing machine at a level where my forearms are at a 90 degree angle to the machine faceplate.......and sweet MOTHER what a difference that's made! I started back on the huge tulip quilt this morning while waiting for the...

Anyone know how to do leather working/decorating/etc.? Mom saw a kit for making keychains in a catalog. I don't know if it has in it what we would need to also decorate them for Xmas gifts. The kit link is http://www.dickblick.com/zz614/37/ I know we'd have to buy the riveter separate (which,...

good morning everyone I'm sitting here in my ice-cold medical office out in the boonies, wondering if I'll ever be warm again!! Quick question for you all; I'm considering subscribing to a quilting magazine. Which one do you all recommend???

Tonight has kind of turned into a complete projects that have been stalled for a long time. I have gotten the following done tonight and have a few other things lined up that may or may not get done tonight (I'm starting to get tired and tired doesn't mix well with a sewing machine, iron, and...

Hi All - Been lurking on this group for a couple of months and finally decided to show myself. I'm a member of our hospital auxiliary (a "Pink Lady") and would like to have some info on setting up a Quilt Challenge. The quilt is to be raffled and the proceeds go to buy something extra special for...

What a great display of quilts we saw by Mary Lou today. She shared with us some of her inspiration for making her quilts and then we had lunch. Right after lunch we started working on our blocks. She has you make your borders and background before making your story quilt. We worked on the...

Joan's recovering after finishing the latest quilt, and in a moment or two, I will take a nap to build up my strength enough to hold her down before she starts another quilt. She needs a nap, too. Two more baby quilts. Read all about them. Story # 273: "The Lazy Quilter" (and lazy quilt) Story #...

I have volunteered to do my local guild bom swap. Anyone interested in participating makes one block, brings that back and gets to throw their name into the hat to win the total. I was thinking it might be fun to do the blocks following the Earlene Fowler book titles and throwing in a book to the...

Meetups didn't happen never could locate the TDB on my lunch breaks. My classes were both Needleturn Appliqué,and I learned...

We travel by RV. Finding quilt shows is a hit/miss project. Is there any website or news group were one can find out what's going on close by where we are traveling?

I finally figured out the "moving pictures from A to B" thing. The fundraiser quilt is pictured in my original album. One of the antique quilt tops (in the second album) has an interesting story behind it (well I think so anyway.) My grandparents lived in London, England and rented out a room to a...
