I'm making Barbara Brackman's calico flag that was shown on episode 327. I've pieced the front. The directions then say to cut a backing 1/2" larger than the front, sew to front, turn inside out. No batting. Well, first I thought it meant to cut the back 1/2" larger on each side for a total of 1"...

I want to make my son an advent calendar. I thought that I would make 24 applique blocks with Christmas things which I would join together with sashing from a Christmas material. I thought that I would then add doors with appliqued numbers to hide each of the blocks, on the back of each door I...

I just finished a table runner after taking a class called "finish and fold" technique by The Quilt Yard. If anyone has done this, I'd be interested in what you think. It is a quilt as you go kind of thing. In it, you use your blanket stitch to finish off seams where you have joined together log...

Whose computer went out because a surge protector didn't protect? I went back looking for that message, but it is hiding. My DH just read to me from his computer screen that today's coffee makers have more computer chips than the first manned space ship. I remember how thrilling it was. I also...

Hello rctq, My name is Anne. I don't have a newsgroup-ish handle, but my CB handle many years ago was Ditch Witch. Maybe I'll become Stitch Witch. Gotta think about it a bit. Since the last census, we are supposed to refer to the San Francisco Bay Area as the Greater San Jose Area because SJ...

Subject: Sunday Quickie =A0 =A0 John and Nancy decided that the only way to pull off a Sunday afternoon quickie with their 6 year old son in the apartment was to send him out on the balcony and order him to report on all the neighbourhood activities. =A0 The boy began his commentary as his parents...

Click on my Webshots URL below and then go to MORE QUILTS. Note the bits of thread and fabric all over my sewing room carpet around the quilts...no point in cleaning it up, I'm just gonna get it all over again G. Merry Some mistakes are too much fun to only make...

Okay, I got this wild hair and felt the need to do more than the spider quilt this evening... I had a Bonnie Kaster pattern, SEASCAPE, from years ago. It was mostly finished, just needed some machine applique bits and some fun with colored markers (the details were done with markers). So I...

day before yesterday, I had to run to the library to get a book that DH had placed on hold and make some copies. When we got ready to leave, DS grabbed a book off one of the display tables sigh. Before I could correct him, I happened to glance at the cover.....it was Quilter's Legacy by...

Do you think it would be possible to use old towels in place of batting in my animal quilts? Has anyone done this? I guess they would wash and dry well. Thanks for any help. Jill Critter Comforts: Quilts for Homeless Animals http://community.webtv.net/crittercomforts/CritterComforts

With my challenge quilt due tomorrow night, I just made it! Finished the binding this morning, then bunged the quilt in the washer (I always do that, + needed to get pin holes out). However, my dryer is in strike (and knowing my appartment complex, it will not be fixed in time for this quilt) -...

I bought this book on Saturday because I've had 2 rolls of quick bias tape that I've had for like 5 years! I'm a visual learner and was hoping someone would SHOW me how to use it...well, the book is very clear. What I couldn't get out of the written instructions was simply repeated in the...

We had cancelled flights and collapsed train tunnels and Chocolate Bombe cake and gelato, good coffee and German sausages, we saw palaces and very dirty homeless people with cell phones, an escape artist like Houdini, a toilet seat that wipes itself, and boy am I glad to be back in the USA. Europe...

I went to Pennington Quilts today, a very nice LQS in Hopewell, NJ to see their "quilt airing" today. I was so surprised. I had not heard of this before, but they have a wonderful wooded area behind the shop and they strung clothes line between the trees and invited those that had taken classes...

They will automatically send a 'notice' if you did it once with them. there is a place for you to unregister if you don't want to hear from them any longer. I have NEVER received any unwanted solicitation from these folks. I enjoy perusing the "new to me" shops on their list. Found a really neat...
