Fusible batting - Thanks by
aluap
Wow, thanks everyone for your responses to my fusible batting question! I don't want to take up too much room, so I'll respond to all he
IMS: I have an "extra" Sunbonnet Sue on a 12-inch block, so I think I will try the fusible for a pillow with that one before I attempt the quilt.

Fusible batting by
aluap
Hi,
Has anyone had any experience using fusible batting? I have finished a Sunbonnet Sue quilt top (lap/crib size) for my grandniece and am thinking of using the fusible. I'm new to quilting, and I've only made a few other quilts using regular batting and wonder if the fusible works...

OT - Time for a gentle push? by
Johanna Gibson
My future landlady, Mary (elder sister of one of my supervisors at
work) tripped over a pebble while walking on the beach near Inverness
on Thursday and ended up breaking her ankle in 3 places. Because of
the location, the ambulance couldn't get anywhere near here, and they
couldn't winch her up...

Judging quilts and bindings . . . . by
Donna in Idaho
I recently helped judge the needlework (including quilts) at our county
fair. My partner is the owner of one of our LQS's.
First off, I was very disappointed since I know that there are some
wonderful quilters in our area - not a one of them entered a quilt in the
fair. No, I didn't look at the...

list, and to RCTQ. We have a lot of new posters

Question about Fat quarters and fat eights by
Bonnie
Hi All,
Another question: do you prewash fat quarters and fat
eights? How do you do this?
Usually I just toss the fabric into the washer and then the
dryer. It doesn't matter if the ends fray on large pieces
of fabric, but on a fat quarter or fat eight it might make a
big difference.

Plano Texas Quilt Show by
nana2b
I went to Plano Show and it was very nice. A nice collection of beautiful
quilts. Lots of Trapunto treatments with crystals. The one I liked the
most was a scrappy pin wheel quilt that had 17,380 pieces. It took 3 years
to make and was hand quilted in a diagonal pattern. It looked like a...

Stitch & Turn Finish was Is bagging a good method for a newbie? by
Lynn Tocker
Hi Pat,
One day I will look back on this first quilt, and think, hmmm it was a quick
and easy project :-) Right now, as a step up from a cushion cover, - it
feels mega-huge. I have printed off your neat method for when I have cotton
batting, as I'm pretty sure that the polyester stuff that's...

Is bagging a good method for a newbie? by
Diana Curtis
Im thinking the term bagging is what we might call birthing a quilt...that
is.. sewing the three layers together and then turning the thing right sides
out? If we are talking about the same thing it is quite possible to birth or
bag a quilt nicely. I used to do mine that way too since binding isnt...

Hi! 1st quilt by
Elizabeth Young
Hi, everybody!
I've been lurking for a little while (about 2000 msgs worth, which does
not take long for this group!).
I've finished my very first quilt, even though I had very little idea of
what I was doing. It was lots of fun and I want to do *more*.
A picture of it is here (the 'with toes'...
