I found a Very Utility quilt at an estate sale today; It is made with some clothing, an a flannel baby blanket is used for part of the batting. I can see the batting in places where the sewing is gone. All hand done. Somewhere online there's a place that can tell by the fabrics used what era the...

Did we remember correctly? Did Mr. Joe have his surgery Monday? Does anybody have an update? Concerned..... Pat & Leslie The HairyFacedOnes 'N Me- My dogs aren't my whole life...they make my life whole.

I sent a message a few days ago about my WIPs. There's pics of my well, WIPs there, including a tumbling blocks WH. I only noticed after I posted the pic in Webshots that one of the blocks has the diamonds switched! Another advantadge of sharing pics with you guys!! :o) -- Dr. Quilter Ambassador of...

In case you didnt know Michael's craft store has FQs. I was looking for a cute novelty print--which I found and bought 6 of one kind! They were in sealed pkgs but when I got it home and opened them to wash, they were my Timeless Treasures so the pkg'ed ones are name brands. Also a few weeks ago I...

I just found that you can use "Preferences" at the bottom of the ng screen to filter out things. I think the problem will be listing enough of the right words, but I've started a list. Debra in Idaho

Leslie: Tuesday morning I had *such* good intentions! I hadn't slept well that night, so when I sat down to rest while getting ready to leave, I fell asleep for two hours! I woke up, slapped everything together and rushed out the door. Thirty minutes down the road, I realized I forgot my...

I wanted to make a small quilt as a thank you to the team mom on my son's baseball team. Does anyone have any patterns or ideas that would work up fairly quickly. Ideally it will have some place to let the kids sign it as well. Thanks, Nancy

Well, the best laid plans sometimes go awry. I had the curtains all planned out and everything, but they ended up being too narrow, so I had to improvise a bit. Have the curtain, then the Insul-Bright, then the blackout fabric......makes for a heavier curtain than I planned on,...

I saw an ad in the recent American Quilter magazine, saying that Hobbs 80/20 (my preferred batting) is now available in black! Has anyone used it yet? How did you like it? Where did you find it? Full of questions, aren't I? ;) -- Sandy in Henderson, near Las Vegas my ISP is earthlink.net -- put...

As most of you know DH's Bro is in the last stages of cancer-he slipped into a coma late last night. we can't 'go' as Joe's double knee replacement surgery is on Monday. Please keep his family and him in your prayers -this is gonna be ruff week. SIL is still coming out to help us (the 'Widow' SIL...

Hi all, I had such a difficult time getting the children to make the blocks for their teacher's quilt. Making this a "take home" project was a BIG mistake. I had set a due date, and not one block was finished...I was quite frustrated, and decided I would get the job done myself...so I took...

I think it's the binding method where you bring the back over and somehow tack it down, but I don't know how to make it not ripple, tack it down, where to sew (front to back or back to front) or how much of the batting to clip off. And for the life of me, I can't get the wallhanging quilt top to...

Hi Everyone, This has been quite the busy month for me. Even though a newly built home shouldn't be under renovations, luck would have it that our flooring was defective. Our house has been in a Mess (with a capital "M" for sure!) Things have been settling down lately. We are now waiting for...

Bought some beautiful Jinny Beyer fabric for a heart quilt I'm making and I've pre-washed it twice to no avail. It bleeds like it's dying. I can't use it.

Wondering what it is about the appliquéd letters that you don't like? If they just aren't showing up very much, quilting will help that. Terri, I see that you've used some bad words here. Seems like you're planning to MQ with a high loft batting. High loft is much more difficult to MQ with. Before...

Wow, I read about so many of you and and all your projects it makes me feel bad, really bad. I've been in my new place almost a month and I have not started anything. I have a UFO that's been on the go for years that I have promised I don't start another quilt till this one is finished. Half the...
