Thanks everyone for your wonderful ideas!!!!!! :) Sheryl

I am about to start another quilt (black and white snails trail/Virginia reel). I've got Kona cottons for the quilt, black and snow and a little bit of red. So for piecing whic colour thread should I use? I normally use grey (fairly light, but depentdent mainly on what the LQS have on the large...

Today was a good day. I finished my two tote bags and distributed to the happy recipients. I went out for Thai food for lunch and Italian for dinner, had a cupcake (yes, to celebrate my birthday), and got lavished with gifts, flowers, hugs and kisses. And now, I get to buy some fabric...

I get those too, and even after 5 months of being on the ng. Now I've got new one--several of today's posts have come up as "Message is no longer available on the server". There is a new hack on main ISP servers, so I think that may be the problem, but it's very annoying, isn't it? Betty in...

Hello all, I've seen collegiate quilt kits SOMEWHERE on the net. Of course, when I need one I can't find it. I've looked at quiltshops.com and came up empty handed. Anyone got any ideas or leads? Thanks,

OK, I do ALL the Fab Shop Hops and Mall Crawls, so you'd think the odds are in my favor, right?? Wrong!!!! DH purchased a kit for me in June from the Fine Needle for my BDay (in July) and what happened, he won the $25 gift certificate for the monthly drawing from QuiltShops.com!!!!! Of all...

Some on here said to me just yesterday we are are own worst critics. Don't be afraid to MQ your quilt. I remember all to well my first attempt at machine quilting. I thought it was humm.... far less than perfect... but that is ok. Many of my family members were the glad recipients of many of my...

Hi All, Over the years I have made many wall quilts, crib quilts, twin size and very few full size quilts. My son and his wife will be celebrating their first anniversary soon and I was planning on attempting my first king size quilt for them. Will it be that much harder to handle because of...

DH and I travelled back to the church where we were wed and had a blessing for 35 years.We then found the hotel where our reception was held and had sunday dinner after which we went to the local flea market/antiques market and as soon as I walked in my eyes landed on a lovely quilt,lone star...

Well I am back to learning this Stack -n- Whack method. I believe I would have been better to do the 6 instead of the 8 point stars... but I am doing pretty good at it right now I have 6 blocks completed. Not all the centers match but they are very close and with very few tee-pees. And those that...

I've just had a message from the lovely person at Fiskars who helped me both times when I had problems. I can't remember who it was now who was having trouble getting an answer from them (senior moment? g), but all of my replies from them have come as a result of writing from their web site. The...

I'm not experienced with applique, but I'd like to start because I'd like to be able to do it in the evening on the sofa. I've read about a lot of different methods. Should I try to learn all of them? Because eventually I'll need them all? Or should I just concentrate on one method that I can...

How on earth does someone go about getting their designs onto an interactive CD? Is this only something that can be accomplished by our celebrities? Did they have to go to school for this, or is that knowledge already in their genes? I love making up my own designs. I hate having to eventually...

I don't know about anyone else here. But I have decided the quilt that I started working on a bit ago, the drunkard's path, is headed tonight asap to the UFO box! This quilt top was my first attempt at this type of curved pattern. The sharp curves are definitely a challenge. Since I am usually up...

I just posted a pic of the quilt I have been speaking of on my web site. Of all my ufo's this one is one I am least likely to return to. The suggestion made to offer it up here is well taken. Email me if you are interested. juliasb (please if you email me about this put RCTQ in the subject line....

I checked and rechecked, and she didn't put herself in the directory....guess she doesn't really want us to send her any quilts BEG Larisa, who wanted to double check LNs favorite colors, etc....but had nothing to look at
