After finishing the main part of the top back in May, my YBR to Insanity quilt finally has borders. Woot! You can see a photo of it he http://community.webshots.com/user/threadhead30 Should be the first one in the album. Second two photos are some coasters I made as thank you gifts for my...

Hi all, I'm hoping the many folks who have done Yellow Brick Road quilts will have some suggestions for quilting designs. I'm making this for a friend's baby shower on Sunday 20 July. (!!) Fortunately my current writing contract has been slightly delayed, so I should have a couple of almost-full...

Hi all, I have a lovely YBR I have made here but before I completely finished it seems my happy children recylced my pattern :( As this was a kit and I already messed up enough times, I was hoping to at least get this last part right. The kit came with enough fabric for the border and th...

I haven't quilted in over a year and am trying to make a quick YBR quilt for a granddaughter who is getting married in just a few months. I have used this pattern before but years ago now. I got the revised edition this time since I remembered having some sort of problem with the older version...

"Desert Brick Road", as I'm calling it, is now all pieced together! Woo-hoo! Check it out on my photos page! Ann http://photos.yahoo.com/annadamson/

A few years back I bought the Yellow Brick Road pattern. I recall (an urban myth?) that the first run of patterns had an error. Sound familiar to anyone? How I would I know if I had the "bad" pattern? Does anyone have the correction? -- Kay Ahr in NV

I lost the instructions for YBR that was done by a member of the group. Would someone that also received it send it to me PLEASE. TIA -- Mary http://community.webshots.com/user/mardor1948

After I square and trim the white edges off my washed fq's, will that still leave me enough to cut all my shapes? How close is this pattern? Karen, Queen of Squishies -- ************************** Sail on, silver girl - sail on by. Your time has come to shine...

Thank goodness!!! I fired up my sewing machine for the first time in almost a month. I have five baby quilts waiting to be designed, cut, sewn and quilted. All but one of the babies is already here. I have a good bit of time before the fifth, but it's the most special of all. So last night I...

Well, for months now I have been unable to access this group, but someone on my transcription list told me how to get here through Google, so I have found you again! :) Now to get caught up... Lisa in NC

Well, I am one happy camper. The borders are ON! (and yes, pics are up!) The narrow yellow got reduced further, to a thin piping. I'm going to have to doctor the corners a bit because I attached the piping to the border rather than the quilt (no idea why, guess I didn't think it through very well),...

Ok, I have the magazine that I got the pattern from, but not with me right this minute. However, I had planned to make this last year. Anyway, it's a HUGE Mariner's Compass and right now, I'm on border #4 out of 7 or 8. I have the 2 sides done and have measured the other sides so that I can...

Ok, my Orange Crush Mystery top is quilted, now I need to piece the borders but I'm so happy to have this much done. I quilted it in 3 sections - quilting 1 then adding the next and quilting it. When I added my next sections, I stitched the new top piece on thru all layers. I think next time I...

Well - piecing, but that's getting there, right??? I've always been a fan of Bonnie Hunter's quiltville.com and often go there just to see what's new and feel inspired. Course I've always been a fan of scrap quilts, and I'd say "Yep, someday". Well, some months ago Bonnie started a mystery quilt...

Well I was worried it would take a long time to happen but it happened on the first try! I am one of those people who just couldn't have taken trying month after month for even 6 months let alone years, thankfully I didn't have to find out if I could have managed through it or not! I already have...

Already! I made my eQuilter.com order on Sun. morning and my fabric arrived here in NC today. The fabric is splendid! I really like the panel better than I thought I would. It all just jumps with possibilities. Anyone else get theirs yet? I got the horizontal and vertical stripes, and...

The quilt that Tish and I worked so frantically on was sold for $100 at auction, this despite not being in the brochure of items for auction. The overall auction made $8,000. Another event, a silent auction, is planned and she asked to keep the wallhanging for that. No problem. So Tish and I are...

i just found this newsgroup and am so happy i could quilt!

post op visit shows that bones stayed aligned....it's only been 11 days, but yay!! We go back on the 11th, and I'm wondering about the removal of the splint and back to a long cast...which is what the doc mentioned. I'm thinking that it might be better for her to stay in the plaster for 4 more...

It's near midnight by my clock. And I have to be up in 6 hours to get 2 grandson's up and off to school. Then mid morning, I'm taking care of 2 month old granddaughter followed by a sleepover with a 4 yo granddaughter. Catchya when I can -- Mary http://community.webshots.com/user/mardor1948
