I took notes during the Eleanor Burns show so I could do a scrappy Fabric Gal quilt, but I can't make any sense of these instructions that I took down... "Cut strips 2.5 & 3.5 inches.Use 4 sets of 2 colors. Make a kind of wonky 4patch, then do the half triangle things with the resulting 4.5 by...

My 'new and improved' computer software has some new versions of stuff on it - installed by a dear friend. She was exhausted when she got everything to somewhat working right. Two questions - the computer is signing her name - Marjorie - instead of mine. I don't particularly object but how...

I must share this beautiful quilt made for DD, who is 9 yrs old, by a wonderful person in Oz. I can't begin to tell you how excited my dd was to open the package and see this beautiful work of art. http://ca.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/ceridwen_rhea/detail?.dir=56b7re2&.dnm=7ad1re2.jpg&.src=ph DD...

I finally finished my grandson's crib quilt, and just in time as his ETA is this Monday, the 21st. As always, there are many little mistakes and the quilt was another learning process, but I'm mostly pleased with it. The camera/flash makes the blue look rather turquoise, when it's actually more...

Just looking at a post a moment ago reminded me that I just recently made my first successful crazy quilt top. For whatever the reason I have always been afraid to make one. I did attempt one a hundred or so years ago before I learned the joy of patchwork and that was such a disaster I was...

Hi folks, At last AOL seem to allow me to see the group again. So after years in the doldrums, here comes me again! Went to Birmingham NEC on Thursday. Yikes, after a while I couldn't look at any more quilts, they were too intimidating. Great stuff though, with huge amounts of gadget hunting...

Just to clarify, you get a confirmation page when you hit the submit button on the Directory entry form. This shows you everything you entered on the form. You should have printed this for your files. When you press the submit button, I get a copy of the form information as well. So, if you...

I finally got a chance to sew again. I stitched the June BOM applique lady bug. I've tried to send a picture of it to Teri for the gallery but my e-mail isn't working. Probably is some hitch in the program because of the new computer and Agent software upgrade. I'll have to get DH to find the...

If there are more folks out there like me, my days are so busy, I often forget what I did the day before. If you enter your information into the Directory form, a confirmation page appears after you hit the submit button. This serves two purposes. It reminds you of what you put on the form and...

Looks quite similar in the making of a prairie braid, instructions he http://www.patchpieces.com/prairiebraid.htm You could add a dark square to the end of your strip before sewing to give it the look you saw in the picture Ann http://community.webshots.com/user/mrs_ducky "Terri"...

Wendy, I'm sure this needs a place in one of your quilts, yes? http://www.bighornquilts.com/cgi-bin/Store/store.cgi?cart_id=2871406.27147.s0&product=aanewstuff06&productid=7-3961&sales=0&lastmenu=submenu-5000.html Monique in TX

I visited the Festival of Quilts in Birmingham this week. The standard of quilts entered this year were really good. Those which came in 1st really did deserve it. There seemed to be more wholecloth quilts included, Lilian Hedley - North country Durham Quilts - had a section on her own,...

I had my very first customer for my quilting service today. I quilted the quilt this morning with a maple leaf pattern and it came out very nice. The owner picked it up this afternoon and she was pleased with it. I had ice cream to celebrate :-) Karen

We celebrated 9 years today...I even said Happy Anniversary to DH at 5:30am..when I was hardly awake...he said he wasn't sure what I had said until it dawned on him what day it was. We had a WONDEFUL dinner tonight then went go cart racing!!! It was a blast..maybe not the most traditional way to...

I've done some Herringbone, Terri, which is not a million miles away from the picture on the cover of the book - just minus the square between the angles strips. Effective isn't it. Lovely! In message , Terri writes I was browsing quilt...

I think maybe I can do two topics at once. If you are hunting a glorious pure red for a holiday project, take a look at Moda Marbles Christmas Red. It doesn't lean toward orange or blue, just a wonderful Christmas red - and it's been around so long it's on sale at several places. I just used...

Has been joined by the Waleska Squisher and the two of them are proceeding in company. Double Birthday Squishies! Woo Woo! Thankies! NightMist

I used the pattern in the "Can of Worms" book. Great way to use-uop scraps. Sorry no picutre. I used all novelty Christmas prints with a common cream background and a holly print between the rows of braids. It was very easy to make although I somehow stretched the border so it isn't...

This is gorgeous. I've bookmarked the url but does anyone know if there are patterns online? Heather in West Oz "Terri" wrote in message ... I was browsing quilt patterns this morning and ran across one I'd never heard of, French Braid...

We received word yesterday that Dave's uncle died in Omaha. The funeral will be Saturday. We are leaving this morning and driving across I-80. Won't really have time to meet anyone from RCTQ. Since Dave will want a rest this afternoon we will stop at a quilt shop somewhere around Des Moines. If he...
