I was at JoAnn's today and they have 2 block of the month quilts. I didn't care that much for either one of them, but it got me to wondering. I think this would be a good learning tool for me as far as technique, color choices and patterns go. Are there any online places that anybody is familiar...

I am trying to complete one of my older UFO's, a queen-size quilt which, if I ever get it finished, is destined for my bed. Every other quilt I have done, before this one or since I started it, has been considerably smaller. Since it is so large, I am seriously thinking about finding someone to...

Anyone have this book? Is it theoretical or does it have patterns?

I'm doing a Saturday Sampler (a block a month). The instructor suggested we do sashing for the block each month. Any suggestions on sashing that I could do? I need some ideas to get me motivated Ann

We are "test driving" a new dog. Gaby is a 5 yr old lab that was returned to the breeder. The only thing that has me hesitating in loving her to death right away is that I have noticed a marble sized lump by her ribs. DH called the breeder and was informed that this is common in Labs. Most...

For some time now I've been trying to decide if I dare buy fabrics online. I spent months mulling it over and finally opted to use a site whose shop I have visited previously. I went to the site and spent a long time deciding which fabrics I would buy and ended up choosing only 6 because I wanted...

Yes, this is totally off topic! Since becoming a member of the Red Hat Society, my friends and I have been searching for some fun and funny purple garments and red hats. Well, they have been searching for hats. I already had 7 red hats. Yesterday I stopped at two thrift stores to see what...

Poor little Giles is covered in hives. She is itchy all over. I know oatmeal baths are soothing, and I can buy some Aveeno bath stuff, but I have oats in my cupboard right now and was wondering if I could use those? Do I need to put them in a muslin bag? Would a paper coffee filter work if I staple...

Can this be done? If so, can someone explain how? I want to make a nice quilt for my parents, but want to have it done by Christmas and handstitching the binding would take me well into next year.

The other day a neighbor leant me her video by Marti Mitchell. It didn't show a title as my neighbor taped it herself and the title picture was not taped. Although the video was outdated by the clothing Marti wore, the tips were excellent. I learned a lot there, especially about nine patch quilt...

Making quilts for charity, aka Pro Bono Quilting, has been 'in the news' here at RCTQ the last few days. If you want more options, take a look at Susan Druding's site at About Quilting. http://quilting.about.com/cs/charityquilting/ NAYY, but Susan liked my trick or treat that I gave out at Houston...

Carolyn...I missed your note somehow, earlier. This is a wonderful idea. I can certainly attest to the fact that many of these folks would love a cozy quilt, as so many of them are lonely and away from their own possessions. And by giving them locally, we know where they are going. For those who...
