Now that I've finished piecing 6 quilts, several of which were rather scrappy, I've got a total mess on my hands. The yardage and FQs are nicely organized, but I don't have a clue as to how to deal with the rest of it. The pieces range from about an eighth of a yard down to 2.5" strips...

Just to make up for Debbi's bad luck with a quilt program I thought I say how much I enjoyed the one we had at guild today. Barbara Dieges came with a trunk show and talk. I really enjoyed her quilts and her talk was really pleasant. It has been a good while since I really enjoyed one of these but...

Hi all, Can anyone recommend where I can find a very simple pattern online for a baby blanket? I would like to knit something as well as quilt, but I can only do plain and purl and no fancy stuff like circular needles!! thanks, morag

Visiting the MIL and wondering about GREAT shops in the Twin City area and Stillwater. barbie

Has anyone else seen this site? I just got it this morning in my email from the Florida Quilt Network Newsletter. What an amazing thing this girl is doing. She's 19. http://westpascoquilters.org/ohfq_flyer.htm -- Debi Ever stop to think, and forget to start again?

I hit pay dirt on FreeCycle yesterday! Went today and picked up a HUGE box of fabric for free! Tons of great quilty stuff. Tons of felt and flannel. This lady must have been a costume maker. There is a ton of rayon/satin/poly stuff in there as well as a TON of tulle, netting, etc. type...

"claudia" wrote in message ... 1. can the dream poly be layered, using two or more layers, or would this make it too heavy and therefore too hard to quilt? Yes, but too heavy and hard to quilt are pretty...

A fabric (of course lol) I didnt buy enough and now the stores have sold out. I searched for it by company name (south seas imports) on the quilt shops search page, but found nothing and made it to page 98 of 408 on a search of flannel lol before giving up. Anyone know of this fabric...

I just made my first quilted fabric bowl. My gosh - they're fun and quick. When I can, I'll post a picture. They are great for taking a break from any involved projects. And they are so rewarding. It's almost instant gratification. Rhonda in IL, USA

I just discovered that one friend who got married in Australia over the summer is having a party for their US friends at the end of this month. Another friend just let me know they're getting married in Colorado next month. I've got some ideas, but any suggestions as to VERY quick patterns would...

Went to The Quilt Show in Shreveport, La yesterday and my DH saw the Little Gracie Home quilting frame and wants to get me one for Christmas, birthday and anniversary( which are all with in four days). Has anyone here used one and was it easy to use. I went to their website and really like the...

=phEuSCCBa6LOY3fh this should get you to a few pics i took on Saturday. The adorable little one sewing is my almost 4 yo DD2 learning how to quilt! She sat there for the longest time and hand stitched a 4 patch...

My DD would like to make her a baby (crib) Quilt, (she lost her "Cold Cover" when she was 7 years old) and has always wanted to me find it for her, since I cannot find it, ( We think it was lost in a move) or make her a new one, Now that I can quilt now, I could make her a new one. But finding the...

Just another reason why I love living in Tucson! After years of struggling through the snow and ice and sleet and horrendous heating bills in Minnesota, I feel like I'm in heaven. My son, on the other hand, can't get enough of the stuff. He lives in Idaho and is a skiier--so he starts praying...

Hi All, I printed out the last JoAnn Fabrics coupon before the sale actually started. I then accidently deleted the e-mail. I noticed the word "invalid" below the bar code. No I don't have the e-mail to print our a good copy of the coupon. Would some nice, kind person please send me the...

Have any of you used metallics for quilting? If so is there any brand that is better than the others? I have some old Coats & Clark that I would experiment with but thought there might be a better kind out there somewhere. I want to do a satin stitch around appliqué, or is this not a good...
