I wonder if anyone has the book: Quilt Designs from Decorative Floor Tiles by Christine Porter? If so, I would be most grateful if they could e-mail me (nothing sinister!). I just need a small bit of help. My address above is correct. Thanks very much I.A. -- Best Regards

Back from another weekend spent in Florida. I'm getting to be a veteran flyer now. The prognosis for the long term is still not good, but for the short term, she is getting a bit stronger. She may be able to leave the rehab center by the end of this week and go home with 24 hour care and outpatient...

me too, Roberta. Unfortunately, my friend don't quilt yet, so her pics were taken just for a reportage I think it's a contemporary quilt....maybe it's quilted only in the ditch.....his peculiarity is just those little windows .... I think also we can found that pattern in european quilting...

This is the best possible topic. I have very little experience with this, but even trying to lay out a mini scrap quilt just about sent me over the edge last week. I'm keeping a copy of all the suggestions here in a text file on my computer. Thanks Polly for asking and starting this lesson on...

Is it still a go? Some folks have been asking about a mailing address for a couple of weeks now. Anybody know? Has Jessamy gotten overwhelmed by a heavy dose of "life" lately? Should I just plan to keep my stars? -- Kay Ahr in NV

At the Spring Fayre I helped at today I bought a packet of odd sewing bits - Stitch Ripper, needle threaders, stencil for hexagonals etc. Included was a Singer lightbulb (dead) and a small 1.3/4" bar which looks like a thread holder from a sewing machine. One end is drilled out and threaded to...

Here in the USA, we will soon mark Memorial Day, which is a day to remember and honor US military who have died for the nation since its inception. Here is a moving poem, In Flanders Fields, written by a Canadian Officer during World War I. The words are...

I found this page online by accident but there are such nice things here. I love the picnic cloth. There are quilts and needlework and other nice eye candy. http://www.ladiesinred.org/photos3.html Debra in VA See my quilts at http://community.webshots.com/user/debplayshere

Geeezzzzzzzz, Had my first class on paper piecing which I am still working on. Well, it's time to put the borders on the small wall hanging I made and I can't remember what she said about getting the paper off! I'm using my seam ripper to rip the paper but I'm afraid I'm going to accidentally...

I was complaining (imagine that) to my local postmaster today that I miscalculated how many stamps I needed and now I was stuck with 5 extra rolls of 37 cent stamps and I need 500 2 cent stamps. He said if they haven't been opened, I could bring them back and trade them in for 39 cent...

I've been away from this site while I worked on my first watercolor quilt. I got a lot of squishies from several generous members of this group and I bought a lot of fabric to cut up into 2" pieces. The design process was more difficult than I anticipated but I now have my project pieced and am...

I think the analysis of the machine I picked up is "RIP." The lady told me it sewed fine, but there was a problem with the tension. After getting it home, the "problem with the tension" is....it is gone. Apparently she dismantled it, and from what I can tell from the diagram I found, there are...

Question: if it's painted, mounted on canvas and framed, is it still a quilt? Just wondering. Sunny

I've had the slipping walking foot problem and it sure was frustrating. I've solved the problem by moving the needle position as far right as it would go. This lets both feed dogs have the same amount of fabric to grab. On one project, changing the needle position did not completely solve the...
