Just finished this top for our DS' birthday November 14 (it only sounds early--somehow the things that get started early never end up that wayg). It's adapted from Karla Alexander's Red Onion quilt in Stack a New Deck. Really very easy--I didn't pin any of the curves! First pic in the WIP...

My first block exchange is winding down & was very successful. I am sure once the ladies get their quilt tops made, there will be lots of pictures for everyone to see! After watching HGTV's BOM Strolling the Block on Simply Quilts, I knew it would be a perfect quilt for a block exchange. Here is a...

I don't live particularly close to a WalMart so I don't have much opportunity to shop there, though I know some of you do. Thanks to you, I knew WalMart had a fabric department. Well....many years ago my sons Scoutmaster found a wonderful fabric. It looks like a royal blue handdye with white...

Wendy, If you see this, I want to look at your Funky Stars quilt and I can't remember your website.......I'm in the process of making one for my daughter. Thanks, Lorraine

I need some help please. I am in the process of making a Baltimore Quilt but I really dont know wether to sew the blocks "together" or put sashing in between? That is my first query. Secondly...how should I quilt it.? I am NOT using a book as a guide, just have been making up the blocks 1 at a...

Well, I did it for the first time- finished a shop hop that is. (oh you with dirty minds!!!!) In the Twin Cities there is an established "Shop Till You Drop" of established quit stores- but there are more in the area. This was spread over quite a large area (in my mind, in this part of the...

October is here! The weather person said a cold front is coming, so I'd better get going on some of my quilts. It sounds like I'm going to need them! Here is the Simply Quilts schedule for October. http://www.alexandersonquilts.com/simplyquilts/simplyquilts.php?action=1&month=10&year=2004 The...

Add me to the group...sigh. I have so much to finish I am not listing it - we shall simply see what I can do. First one - finish Mom's Christmas tablerunner, placemats and napkins. Merry

If you have sent me an email saying you have changes, the best way to ensure it'll make it into the directory is to actually fill out the form again. We'll take the most current info you send us as the one you want to use. The reason I suggest you do so is because Alice is so smart, she found a way...

Hi everyone, I'm new to quilting, very new, just started my first one and wanted to know if I'm to press my seems opened or to the side? Also, what do I do when one of my squares is off a little? As careful as I was in cutting and sewing them, I still had a couple that were a little off. Is this...

My daughter's baby died at 13 weeks gestation. They were so excited about this baby and are heart broken now, as are all of us. -- Mary http://community.webshots.com/user/mardor1948

It's Judy again, Thanks for the responds I had gotten on my last post. I have more question if you don't mind. Do I need to back stitch to lock- in my stitches on my squares? Can I use my Sewing Machine (Kenmore) to quilt or do I need to get a walking foot for it? I'm not sure what a walking foot...

I did buy some fabric at Le Louvray in Paris, in packets like fat quarters, and the material is courser by feel, so if you want to mix some with American prints or solids you would have to hunt for some a little courser to mix well, but there are a lot in the US with a courser feel and look, and...

Need a new idea for a baby quilt. I am bored with my old staple which is a nine-patch alternating with a snowball, usually in either 30s colors or homespuns.

Please contact me if you have this book? I don't want the book itself, just need information on a quilt that I believe may be in it. TIA, Mickie

Has anyone done one of these? I bought the pattern for Coastlines while vacationing in Ohio. http://www.quilted-lizard.com/new_page_1.htm -- Mary http://community.webshots.com/user/mardor1948
