There's a good price for aurifil 50 wt over at www.carmenwarehouse.com. $ 5.00 per 'orange' spool, I think that's about 1400 yards. Free shipping for orders of $50.00. The catch? sure, there's one. They don't have white, black, beige or gray. If you're willing to stitch with something...

I want to share with you the graduation quilt for our youngest grandson. The quilt pattern (more or less) is a Tad Plaid from QNM '02. Most of the fabrics are Sunshine from Moda. You can see the line in lots of shops, most of it is shown at The Stitch-N-Frame. The backing, a very special...

My 8-y-o daughter's schoolteacher approached me to ask for my help with some sewing (I have already been asked to design Joseph's Dreamcoat for the school production in June - if you want a quiet life, don't let anyone know you sew!) She and another teacher had seen a patchwork banner in...

Hello Everyone I've heard/read so much about aurifil on this board that I am wanting to try it. I usually do all my piecing and quilting by machine, and if I have read the postings right, this thread would be great for that. But what about hand quilting? There is this nagging little voice in the...

My son dropped our camera. The new, expensive camera that is only shortly out of warranty, which wouldn't have worked for accidental mangling anyway. I went online and got a live person in chat sort of setting and we went through troubleshooting the problem. It was very difficult as obviously this...

so how do you do it with minimal creases? I've noticed many charge for pressing, but how on earth to I get it to them without the need to do that? Anne

A Dog's Purpose (from a 6-year-old) Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish wolfhound named Belker. The dog's owners, Ron, his wife, Lisa, and their little boy, Shane, were all very attached to Belker, and they were hoping for a miracle. I examined Belker and found...

I was very inspired by those 165 Valor quilts & blankets last Sunday. I got the fabric out & have been heard @ work on making my contrabution to the quilt class. Nana

What batting do you prefer? Cotton, poly, some kind of blend? What washes best for baby and children's quilts these days?

I've visited the new EQ forums, but another member's solution didn't help. I've always been able to double-click on a PJ5 file and it would then open in EQ5. Can't do that anymore. I get an error message that says "C:\Documents cannot be found." I get the option to send a message to...

I have torn out the pages that contain the patterns I want, and the magazine is actually in the trash can. It's time to cull the magazines. They take up too much room. This is the first one I've trashed. Oh, the trepidation .. . . . Might have to get some chocolate to get through this! --...
