I have my chenille throw all bound and slashed and ready to wash. What a bear to trim somewhat straight! All that stitching on the bias sure makes it wonky. I was afraid I'd end up with a bath mat by the time I squared it, but I played around and got it to a suitable size. Do any of you have...

If you take your SM anyplace, it is a very good idea to check the contents of the case before you leave home. It is very disappointing to arrive at destination with a SM but no foot pedal or power cord. Don't ask! Bobbin case, bobbins, needles are good to have too. PAT in VA/USA

Webshots isn't working for me today, so I've resorted to AOL and tinyurl. I hope it works. ********** My California daughter-in-law is a fan of 30's fabric and all things old. When I saw this fat quarter packet and block pattern in Connecting Threads catalog, I knew it was meant for...

What a bright and sunny quilt!! -- Donna in NE La. "Jan" wrote in message ... I just finished the Sunflower Quilt I've been working on!! King Size!! It was quite the wrestling match at the end......

I'm a not-too-frequent poster, but I wanted to show off my just-finished crib quilt. I modified Debbie Mumm's "Crazy for Cats" quilt to get the appropriate size. I used scraps from lots of the cat fabrics that have leaped into my arms over the years. The mother of the baby-to-be loves cats, as...

Hi Everyone, We have an older cat that has been suffering some with arthritis, the vet has him taking a low dose aspirin every 3 days. That seems to help a little but Tigger is having more and more difficulty doing all the things he needs to do to be a cat. He needs to climb up on the bed using...

Hi, I'm new here and attempting to paper-piece my first quilt, tumbling blocks from quilter's cache.com. I'm doing pretty well so far and have gotten a lot of it together. The "blocks" are such that they form large equilateral triangles which you then stitch together to make the quilt as large as...

Yeah, I'm dancin, happy dancin' Made my very first ever paper pieced block and I love it! This is so cool! http://community.webshots.com/photo/262199259/493497941Moneer Then, I layered it with batting and muslin on the back and sewed it to the front of a section of card stock, folded it over...

Hello everyone Yesterday was a holiday here in Spain, so I made the most of it and spent all day at the sewing machine. Took a break to take a few pictures! http://community.webshots.com/photo/272117102/492569599mfZRzK http://community.webshots.com/album/322131832GrEleX

Does any one know of a method/software to enlarge a pattern to the proper size without going through a photocopier? I want to make a quilt from "Quilting the Garden" by Barb Adams however, although the appliqué pieces are the proper size, the block layout is not. It must be increased by 250% to...

I had a *wonderful* time -- again -- in Houston. The quilts were amazing, as always, and the vendors were very tempting. I bought a chatelaine for my thimble and thimble cage from TJ Lane (she made my thimble), and I'll be adding to it in the next few years -- I think I'd like to have a seam ripper...

Dear RCTQ Friends: My wonderful DS, Billy, whom you have all seen me talk about here before since he is my "sewing buddy" has asked me for a favor. This evening, he is working on Crazy Patches and came to ask me if I would ask my friends on my quilt group if they would "swap" with him. He would...

Trying sending to consolidated.net address and it came back to me. In fact it wouldn't even go out. It has remained in my "outbox". It stated that it was rejected by the server. Will let it sit in the outbox to see if it eventually will go through. Marlys in...
