One of my mom's neighbors gave me yards and yards of fabric she didn't want. It's all cotton, really pretty, (some flannel), and each piece is 2-3 yards or more each. I have washed and ironed it all, they're going to be great backings. I can now start seaming the backs, and sandwiching at least 8...

I think I was very lucky this week. I visited one of the local opportunity shops and found a 'quilt top and bottom' that had been made to cover a doona. The opening was finished with bias tape and Velcro (sp). The small blocks are 2 inch squares and on some of the blocks you can see where the...

This weekend we were supposed to celebrate an early Christmas gift exchange with one of our sons and his new wife. OK, the first change....the weather.....they would be driving from Rockville, MD to our area between Lancaster and Philadelphis, PA. With "feet" of snow forcast in some areas, we...

Do I need to mention that I LOVE telling this one? Why did the Three Wise Men drive red trucks?

What sewing machine do you use to do your free motion quilting? Thanks! Michelle in Nevada

I use some pretty small scraps of "normal" quilting material, but I really don't have any use for scrap flannel. First person to ask gets a fistful of flannel scraps in their mailbox..... --pig

I made this bag for the gift exchange we have at our small group's Christmas party. I have to say this was a real bear to make! The bag is has a layer of two sided fusible Timtex stabilizer on the sides. The bottom has TWO layers of Timtex. Sewing that seam to attach the bottom to the sides...

Well true, Sandy, hand-quilting is definitely not about speed. Both are quilting, but may be it's apples and oranges. I've got a 92" square quilt I'm hand-quilting at the moment. I doubt I'll get it done this winter before the weather becomes too warm to hold it in my lap. Michelle in Nevada

Thanks Sandy for mentioning Miss Read in another post. I have not read any of her books but she sounds wonderful. Our library has several of her books listed in the on-line catalog. Does it matter if the books are read in order? I see that there are several series. The Fairacre Series and the...

We have a butternut tree dying of the blight next to the house. I told the landlord, who said it belonged to the lawyer next door, who said it belongs to the landlord. I told both of them I don't care who it belongs to, if it falls on me I am sueing everybody for miles around. Neither of them...

just finally got enough energy to make a call to Margaret. last time she had time to come round i sent her home with a few bits of fabric with freezer paper ironed on, some thread and a background square of fabric to practice some applique on. after the call this morning she just wasnt happy with...

Anyone here have a quilt on display at the New City NY library? There were about 10 and they were beautiful. Lee rarebirdyatverizondotnet Park Ridge, NJ

We've done the truly awful Christmas joke .... now we look forward to your Christmas gifts and journey to 'back home'. Do we need to come bail you out of jail for first one thing and then another or have you some gift/creations you just must share with us? Polly
