This the quilt I am working on right now. It is an old timey pattern made with 2 1/2 inch wide strips. Go to Missouri Star Quilt Company, open it, then go to the tutorials and ask for Card Tricks. Hope you try this one. Sandy$

I brought this Harvest pattern from Jordan's Fabrics. It is one of Cozy Quilt designs which has Throw, twin, queen and king sizes, so you can make any of these sizes. I used some of my left over fabric from other quilts for this quilt. It uses (37)2 1/2 inch strips. If you go to the the internet...

I am not a cosplayer, but I think about various costumes once in a while, and how I might make them. One of the costumes that I think about is the following: https://katiediazz.deviantart.com/art/Kyoshi-Warrior-Suki-158849818 from the cartoon "Avatar The drawing that I linked to is fan art,...

I am missing July and December from the Jo-Ann Fabrics "Heartland" Quilt Block of the Month from 1999 designed by Meredith French. This is NOT the newer "Threads From the Heartland" Jo-Ann quilt. Any ideas? Thank you. I have already searched ebay and contacted Jo-Ann customer service. Meredith...

I have a couple of pair of sewing scissors. Two are Fiskars, and will tell the story of why I have 2 if somebody wants me to, but my main questions is about my other pair. I have another pair that I suppose is part of my "inheritance" from my late mother. It is a pair of heavy duty Wiss...

This is the quilt I am working on right now. Not from any magazine but possibly(?) got the pattern from www.quilterscasche.com Each block is approx. 10 inches finished. Want to do another of these but larger, using 2 1/2 inch strips instead of 2 inch strips. The light side of this block is pale...

One of my sewing machines is a New Home 445 from the early 60's (I think). I was messing around on ebay (just looking at the listings, not really "shopping" for anything). Well,anyway, there were 2 listings for New home 445's on it (there were actually more than that, I think, but I am just...

I made a t-shirt quilt for my grandson's graduation. The hardest part was planning it. I stabilized the shirts with French Fuse fusible tricot. I had it quilted -- money well spent. I hope this link works. It's a public album so you don't have to be on facebook....

Hi folks, after 25 years the manual disappeared this week and we cannot find it anywhere. I about tore the place apart last night. It apparently sprouted legs and ran off. Looking online I found places that advertised the manual but when you get to the site they don't have it. This is so...

Several years ago, I made a bathrobe that kinda looks cool, I suppose, but I don't really like wearing it as a bathrobe. When I made it, I choose camouflage print denim, thinking it would soften up as I wash it. Well, that hasn't happened, I should have gotten something soft in the first...

First off let me say that I would not wish this pattern on anyone. Number one the instructions for 3 different sizes which are hard to understand what they are saying or I am getting senile. laughing here. When you look at the cover picture you can tell the quilt is all on point. Everything is cut...

Hello All, I just finished a scrappy block quilt that I found just a picture of in a quilt magazine. Now I am on to another quilt and this one is named "Lime Grape Fizz Quilt". I am using batiks for my material, colors as close as I can get to the pattern and you can see this quilt or buy...

At long last I think I have discovered you again. When the group started switching to Facebook I didn't go along. I figure the world knows enough about me without showing my face on Facebook. But I have missed the many friends made through this group in the old dial-up connection days. My how...

How do you insure a quilt? My insurance company will not give me special coverage on quilts that I would like to show at fairs. They said in the event of fire or theft from my home, they will only cover the cost of the material in the quilt. There has to be a way to insure a quilt properly.

t Well the Lime Grape Fizz quilt turned out beautifully colorful and think I will make this one again in the future but maybe using different colors.. My next quilt is called Yin Yang from Cozy quilt patterns which I brought from Jordan Fabrics. Go to internet and type in www.jordanfabrics.com...
