It really should say my quilty saturday. In June, Camp Pendleton Marine Base opened up a Wounded Warriors Center on base for those who have no place to go after getting out of the hospital, but still need rehabilitation following injuries in the war. Our guild made 30 quilts so that each bed...

Hi everyone, I haven't been on here in a long time since I graduated and moved and got a new job. But I'm back and I have a dilemma of sorts. I'm working on the Diamond Jubilee quilt from last years "Quilts With Style" magazine. I love to piece quilt tops but I'm not crazy about the...

when I went to class this morning I noticed fat quarters were down to 99c (JoAnns), unfortunately I didn't have my snippet of fabric with me to match anything :-(. So I went back tonight, I needed threads and aida for a cross stitch round robin and some fabrics for a scrap quilt that I don't...

This morning I woke up to the sound of real rain falling. Real wet the ground and water the newly planted strawberry patch rain! Year to date rain (since july 1) has been .17 officially. Normal is 5.6. We don't get much here anyway, it is the desert after all but some is kind of nice. It is a...

Does anyone have a JoAnns coupon they would like to share ? I am in need of one, lately our newspapers have had no JoAnns adds. TIA Diana in dallas

It all started late Thursday afternoon. The NSDH (Not So Dear Hubby- you'll understand why shortly... VBG) said the president of our church congregation emailed that she needed the "thermometer" by Sunday morning. Huh? Then he said he forgot to ask Kim (his DD) to make a "furnace thermometer"...

While checking out the link http://quilterstv.com/ from another thread, I noticed a video on how to do machine bindings. The video is called qtv Binding Tips from Elisa Wilson. With the recent discussions on this topic I thought I'd point it out to those who may still want help or do better...

Does anyone else out there watch QNN on your computer? There is only one quilting show to watch here, and that is Alex Anderson - and we know what is going to happen to her. Well, this is 24/7 quilting! Try it if you haven't yet. I think you need DSL or something other than dial-up, but I don't...

When I made my last bed quilt (Irish Double Chain) I did so with the expectation of using the fabric and pattern for a baby/crib quilt for our niece who has announced she is expecting her first child. Here is a picture of the finished quilt. It measures 38/58 inches and the only difference with the...

I got myself into a pickle here. My "Quilted Furnace Thermometer" went over so well at church that I am going to make a *bunch* of banners of various types for my church to display. How do I get myself into these things??? Oh yeah, I said I'd volunteer to do it. VBG Why doesn't someone bop me...

Does anyone know of any websites out there that show pictures of quilts resulting from a quilt challenge? I know Hoffman... but if you know of any other sites... would you share? Thanks... Kate in MI http://community.webshots.com/user/K_Groves

Hello all, I have started reading the Jennifer Chiaverini books... The Quilter's Apprentice, Round Robin... and have fallen in love and want to start a new hobby. So here I go... always wanted to try quilting and this series has been the inspiration I needed. Now my dilemma... which pattern do I...

Hi Denise, I have on loan a book called Craig's Art needlework Book from about the 1920's. Have a look at the link below which explain the Thousand Flower Stitch. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v316/esseco46/Embroiderystitches.jpg This little book is fantastic and I have copied many of the...

I'm always leary of trying / buying from an online quilt shop that I've never heard of or purchased from. However - "need" overcame "fear" as I was hunting for a shop that had the complete colorway in a particular line of fabric that I love. I did a search on quiltshops.com and it directed me to...

ACK I purchased 41 assorted fat quarters which came today. I am overwhelmed! I usually go to the fabric store and pick out fabric for a specific quilt - mostly traditional stuff. Well, here are all these fabrics, 1 fat quarter of each, and I haven't a clue. With all the quilts that I have...

I am moving to Casper, WY. Anyone live there or near there? I currently live in Idaho Falls, ID, about 6 1/2 hours away if the weather and roads are good or 8 1/2 hours away if not. My husband is already there and he says it's great. Just wondered if anyone from the group is from there or...

With a lot of helpful advice from members of this group I have now completed my first three quilt projects. My wife is an experienced quilter, but it seems to keep peace at home to get my advice from all of you patient people in this forum. See pics at...

I was watching Quilting News - the Jodi Barrows The Triangle Galaxy block on the Crazy for Red program. She gives directions to sew, but not the size of the blocks and strips. Does anyone recognize this block? I want to find the directions on line somewhere. Thanks -- Boca Jan Florida - Land...
