Hi all DD has recently bought a bearded dragon (now called Dexter) and is after some polar fleece type fabric with lizards or geckos on it so I can make a blanket / cushion like these for her (or rather for...

Sorry about the link-- Sometimes I get the wrong link! Here is the ACTUAL link that will take you people to the site to help beginners: http://www.quilthowto.com/Free_Beginner_Quilting_Instructions_-_Basic_Hand_Quilting.html this should be it, but if it gives you any trouble, just type...

Miz Polly asked what the latest is so I'm gonna share now that we have answers. Last week, DS 'popped' his knee to the point that we were expecting major surgery. At this point in time, it's wait and see...including beginning PT for the next week...then back to the Dr. IN the MEANTIME...we wait...

Okay, you've pieced or appliquéd a delightful quilt top. You are pleased and justifiably proud of it. You want to quilt it (or have it quilted) to enhance the style and design of the top. How do you decide what to do? Can you suggest a book that will help train and educate a quilter on this...

I'd been saving the handwork on my latest quilt so I could take it with me to my jury duty. It's a good thing I called the day before, though; they not only didn't allow *any* scissors -- they didn't even allow needles! :O BTW, jury duty (my seventh in 9.5 years here) was at least partially...

Normally I don't bother with something on the local news channels but what I heard this morning is rather frightening. I googled drywall health problems and news articles are coming out of Florida and now Louisiana about people getting nose bleeds, severe skin rashes and pain in their...

Margaret Miller is doing a workshop for our guild on Sunday, April 7, and doing 2 lectures (afternoon and evening) for us on Monday, April 7. If you are close to Rochester, MN, and are interested, e-mail me for contact information. The workshop is "Samplin' Angle Play". The lectures are...

I belong to a couple of small groups & I was talking to one of the groups today & asked if anyone would be interesting in a trip to the Amish Country & they are. Since I generally do the planning for group activities, I'm going to start investigating, but, knowing that all the answers I could...

Has anyone ever made a do-lolly quilt ? I am looking for the istructions if any one has them to share. Thanks Barbara

This is too ridiculous to even ask. I don't know how to change the size of what appears on my monitor. I went to the bugfabrics.com online shop to order some bugs. Their website produces pictures of fabrics so large that I only realized after a while that I was missing one horizontally on...

I've been a supporter of TSWLTH. You have to be careful, but sometimes you can find a real bargain. Besides, it's the only full-service fabric store in town. The past couple times I shopped there, I had problems resulting in having to take everything off the already paid receipt and do it...

In my ongoing campaign to use up some of the solids that I have, I came up with this Ohio Star variation that I am making for a long time friend. It, along with another one as yet to be produced, will be sent off to keep the cold at bay during next years winter chilly season for the wife and...

Actually AGH! might be putting it mildly. From least to most di My parents are at it again. They did not RSVP DD#2's wedding invitation, though they would have to travel over a thousand miles to attend. They just assumed that she knew they were coming. They do stuff like that, a lot. Since...

Especially for those of us way up North, WE MADE IT THROUGH ANOTHER ONE!!!!! Happy Spring everyone and Happy Autumn to all those down under! Thanks for being a part of my life, --...

Hi, I've just finished a YBR type quilt, and I don't have a clue how to quilt it! How have people quilted their YBR quilts? Sarah

When is the directory being sent out? I did sign up for it, but I've been offline for about 10 days, so have I missed it somewhere. Just getting over the local flu, the first time in about 10 years that I actually stayed in bed for a week! This is unheard off. Feeling better now, just weak...

Here is a link that will help anyone who wants to learn how to quilt: http://www.quilthowto.com Click on beginner quilting. Hope that helps other beginners! I found it very useful. Let me know what you think of the site!

A wallhanging? Me? No way. I've always thought of quilts as treasures for wrapping around and comforting. I've never particularly understood art quilts or had any enthusiasm for a modern, contemporary sort of abstract. Nope. Not me. You all just carry on and I'll cheer you on but...
