Lap Quilt dimensions?? by
hfw
I've been following the "why lap quilts?" thread and am curious about the
sizes of them. Assuming that I'm making a pattern from scratch, are there
any considerations you'd suggest regarding size?

OT! A favor, please? by
Leslie in Missouri
I checked this- The Animal Rescue Site- with "Snopes" and it IS
legitimate. This is a way you can help feed needy animals at no cost to
you. They will even send you a reminder email 5 or 7 days a week. It
just takes a few seconds to click and help provide food for animals in
shelters. I've been...

Hand care when working with batting by
Terri,
What lotion do you find that works best for you? I love the Aveeno
Intense Relief Hand Cream. Its not greasy at all, absorbs quickly, and
soaks right in. I would not slather up and then touch batting or fabric-
but its great stuff.
I think exfoliating as mentioned and finding a hand...

Hey, new Grandmas....Wanna swap bugs? by
Connie Einarson
This isn't as daffy as it sounds. I have been accumulating fqs for a
bug in a jar quilt, and realized that you can get 4 jars out of a fq.
Since I would like all of my jars to be different, I would love to swap
a 1/4 of a fq, or a 9 x 11 in. piece, with anyone who would like to
swap, and hopefully...

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!! Washing Fabric Question by
Christina Doucette
Hi Everyone,
I'm back with another newbie question.
How do you wash fabric?
Seems like a stupic question but I tend to over-analyse issues. Do I put it
in the machine or hand wash? What kind of soap? Do I use fabric softner?
How do I dry it? In the dryer? Doesn't that make it frey(?) ...

Mariner's Compass Boook by
Helen in MN
I am intrigued by Judy Mathieson's Mariner's Compass book, and am wondering
if anyone has one they would like to see (or trade, or swap or...). I am
interested in her approach to paper piecing the compass, and just can't do
it without a book.
Thanks much,

Computerized Long Arm by

I read a while back about a home long arm machine that you hooked up to your

and moved the machine. Anyone know the brand? My Internet searches are
