Two of us newbies get together every Monday afternoon to learn to quilt -- the blind leading the blind. Now we need to know what is a reasonable price for having the quilting done on a queen-sized quilt? $200-$300? Our newbie eyes got big and our newbie jaws dropped. Neither of us is...

Hi all, I'm a newbie that's been lurking a short time and can already tell I love this group and all of you in it. :) I am making a jeans quilt (6 1/2" squares, 180 of them all cut and ready to go.) I plan to make a quilt 12x15. My problem stems from me being so darned indecisive!! I've looked...

My sewing machine dealer cut out the little bar across the front of my basic sewing machine foot so that it's now an open toe foot- that was his solution to my request for an open toe foot. ;-) The foot is clear plastic with some metal reinforcements in the back area of the foot. I thought...

Just got back from Las Vegas. I didn't gamble much, but I found such interesting quilt patterns on some of the hotel floors! (you know you're addicted to quilting if you find patterns in floors where ever you go?) I beat the snow storm (aka blizzard) home since I took an 11pm flight from...

I just changed the email address on the newsgroups thing, at least I think I did. This is a test, so we shall see. -- L. P. Skeen, Summerfield NC Organized people are just too dang lazy to look for things. ;)

Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday to me Happy Birthday dear Febuhearts Happy Birthday to us Butterfly

Ok, I have put my thinking cap on as to how best to organise this and have come up with the following. First, register yourself to the swap by emailing me. Email at morag.peers at btinternet.com. I will then invite you to the yahoogroup I have set up for the swappers (think you might need to...

A new game to play! Try to guess which book I'm looking for! I thought for sure I had a book with folk art quilts in it, specifically one with an angel flying over a town. I went to look for it tonight, but couldn't find it. I thought for sure it was in Come Listen to my Quilts, by Kristina...

jig a jig with me.... the first bedsized quilt i ever attempted (dare i say hand pieced) I started back when DS was about 1 1/2 yo... well in April he will be 9... I made soooo many newbie mistakes on this - including thinking i could hand quilt it as well with warm & natural batting, 1/2...

As some of you know, I got home from my quilt retreat last week to discover my computer had died an untimely death. (DH *swears* he didn't do it. Yeah, right! LOL) As I took the computer in for its warranty brain surgery, I was desperately trying to remember how recently I had backed up. :( I...

and therefore my copy of the directory! Would the Goddesses of the Directory please send me a new copy? Thanks so much. :) -- L. P. Skeen, Summerfield NC Organized people are just too dang lazy to look for things. ;)

Thanks so much Larisa! The colors couldn't be any more perfect. If I had seen this in the LQS I would have taken some home just because! Hoping you get good news today! Marilyn in winters coming back, Alberta, Canada

In my HD thread, someone (She maybe) asked about how my guild's UFO challenge works. In the Stuck thread, several posters ask about how to choose a project and move on. I think a description of the UFO challenge will answer that issue. Here goes. The Organizers (L&N) set the 'rules' as follows....

Your post are not showing up for me, I did however see your reply from Marlys in Indiana on the Janome -- Christina Hilburn Quilting Photos: http://community.webshots.com/user/cchilb

Does anyone have a copy of Quick Quilts, Sept 02 that I can purchase? I am looking for a pattern in there called Maple Leaf. Thanks, Nancy

I need some help/thoughts. Several years ago one of the gentlemen and good friend that I worked for at a large corporation asked me if I could use all his old neckties in my quilting. I said sure. Well, I just learned that he passed away recently. But, before he did, he made his daughter promise to...

This happy dance is for a very long term UFO. I started it in California, in a class with Sharyn Craig. I left CA in January 1990, so I think the class was in 1988. I loved the class and learned good stuff, but my fabric was BORING! Now that it is finished, it looks much better, of course! It won't...

Hey y'all. I got my kimono panels in the mail yesterday and they are really beautiful. She also sent some bonus pieces as well! :) I can't remember the name of the place, but it was one of the two sites that were listed here last week. The other site sells by the pound, minimum purchase...
