I posted "three questions" a week or so ago asking about quilt guilds in my area and a cathedral window pattern. I was overwhelmed with the many emails I received answering all of my questions. A huge thanks to everyone who took the time to reply - you're kindness was unexpected and very much...

Some of you have mentioned these from time to time, and I've seen some of the patterns, which look amazing. Who here does these regularly? What is your opinion on them? Do you find them expensive? Just wonderin', Lynne in Toronto

Ask the experts :): Thanks to the quilter who mentioned Big Horn Quilts! I found the fabric to finish GDD#2 's butterfly quilt, and at a decent price. (The fabric is called 'bright rainbow squares' #17-254. Looks much more appealing when you blow the pic up larger). I have appliqued butterflies...

Here's a question for the group that knows everything. OK, not a question, exactly, more of a query. I'm looking for some gin to buy for DH for Christmas. He usually drinks Tangueray, but likes Boodles when he gets the chance at it. There. That's it. The extent of my gin knowledge. I'd like to get...

Has anyone done this challenge or seen a quilt or even, just one block, done with those butterfly wings? I have a relative who is getting married, she loves butterflies, and she wants me to make her a bed size quilt as a wedding present (by July next summer)with those Hoffman gold and...

Hay all, since I have some free time, I started to work on my scrap fabrics which can vary from 1" to 4" ( sometimes bigger) in width I had most of them in plastic baggies sorted from size. But my scrappy patterns call for light's, mediums, and darks. so I took them all out, and sorted them that...

Hello! I have a pretty basic MQ question. So...I start by pulling the bobbin thread to the top. I anchor with a few very tiny stitches. Then I do my quilting design. Anchor again with some tiny stitches. Now what? Do I just snip off the threads close to the quilt top? Is there something...

Now, don't try to convert me; I don't *like* cotton batting. Sometimes my quilts do great, and sometimes they beard like crazy. I wish I could figure out when and why. Is it some brands of batt? Is it the weave of the quilt fabric? Is it the way the quilt is used? Mostly I buy Hobbs poly...

Hi Guys, Well, I am having no luck finding additional fabric for my formal ball gown for Mardi Gras next year so thought I would come ask here :-). I have checked online and had no success. Several months ago, I found some strange, black, lycra blend fabric at Joanns that is a bit "outside the...

I just completed my very first block that wasn't simply a square of fabric sewn to the next square. It's a heart. Many thanks to NZL* for helping me decide to do a 12" block and alternate it with a solid block to make the quilt go quicker (I'm wanting to have it completed by this Christmas). ...

Just a quick note. Can y'all spare a thought for my DSIL who has been taken to hospital this morning. She'd been up all night with pains in the shoulder. Her mum took her to local GP this morning who sent her straight to hospital. They thought it may have been her lungs or gall bladder...

I have added photos to the babies site. Some are of Lilianna and her new quilt made by me (grandma). The quilt is one of Carol Doaks easy projects Irish Chain . I added embroidered butterflies and Lilianna's name. http://home.comcast.net/~rcano99/Baby.htm

Hi Group, I've lost my link and the name of this site. It's not quilterscache. It's a 'store' site that includes many different pattern companies. Does this ring a bell with anyone? TIA.
