I finished the duvet cover for DS's twin comforter!!! I have had the fabric for a while now, but decided it needed to get done. Especially since the space cover that I made has seen better days (comforter is actually light blue Winne the Pooh on white background, but nobody remembers...

I am at wits end again. I know that even though I have bought precut blocks etc, that I will have to do some cutting some time. And even if I don't have to I want to try it and see if I can. Now here is what I need to know. I need to get me a mat, rotary cutter, and rulers, do you...

Hi all, I use to post here years ago, always wanted to learn to quilt, when I finally got the nerve to try it my mother got sick and I never did. I am no longer able to use my hands like I use to could and would like to find a precut quilt for a beginner. I also will be machine quilting. ...

Last night was Census night in Australia, so we have all been herded, counted and categorised. As I used to work for the Bureau of Stats I dutifully did my bit. But I was disappointed that they no longer have space for some of the lifestyle questions that really used to be interesting (like...

We have borrowed a pooch for a week. Her name is Scamp, and she belongs to friends who are off to a folk/morris dancing festival for a week, after a wedding today, so as this isn't too far away and they couldn't get pooch friendly B&B or camping (and anyway, the pooch would have had to spend...

You all don't know how much help you have been to me just getting ready to get started trying to learn to quilt. Can someone please tell me about how many 4 inch squares it would take to make just a plain quilt, no patterns, just squares sewn together? I would like to make it for a full size...

No, I don't get a share of the profits, but I want to recommend this book, because I think it is excellent: Mariner's Compass Quilts: Setting a New Course New Process, New Patterns, New Projects Author: Judy Mathieson I just did my first ever Mariner's Compass (sorry no pic at this time).

Well, I think the Directory is ready to go, but I need a few test entries to make sure everything is working ok. So, the form will be open for the next 15 minutes or so. It would be great to have a variety of entries, some domestic, some international. These will only be test entries - if you...

Somehow I have 5" squares of 6 different -yet similar colors of fabric. The light and dark of it are only a few shades apart. Too similar and I cant think of anything that would contrast in a good way. They are all in the "peach" hue. I think I have enough of them all for a couple quilts....any...

I hope everyone read Debbi's thread about her missing foot pedal at her SM dealer's shop. Did all of you stop what you were doing and go write your name on your SM, its case, little flat thing they call a table, foot control and any feet you're likely to carry anywhere? Probably not but do let...

Hello Quilters. I don't get to post much any more, but I try to keep up with what is going on -- praying with you and happy dancing for you and all. I'm just about to finish the baby quilt for my newest grandson, Ashton, who was born in December (I'm a little slow - I have no machine). They will...

I need to see some new stars, hopefully not too hard. Lali in Bay Area CA

with a beautiful blue birthday squishy. I know it's from Georgia... but that is all I know. Can't figure it out though -- who exactly... Just happy they found me! (Thanks also sent to anonymous email addy.) Kate in MI

I've been babysitting a lot for the past few days -- all the more so since DH is out of town and can't give me a break all day long. It's been a long time since I've had toddlers around for any length of time, and it wears me out! G But that's not what has me frustrated -- it's just probably...

I'll be on vacation next week and not close to a computer. So I thought that I'd post the BOM early instead of having everyone wait until the 7th. Thought there might be some itchy to start! grin Cappy How this BOM works is I will post block patterns each month near the beginning of each...

Hi all, I'm back from the Lowell quilt festival and my first quilt class ever (first four actually). Lesson #1 learned: 4 classes in 4 days is ALOT. It was exhausting, but also great fun. I feel like I did a little of everything and worked a little outside of my comfort zone here and there, and...

Woooo! Finished a Quilt. http://community.webshots.com/myphotos?action=viewAllPhotos&albumID=553028460 The embroidery designs are by BFC Creations. They were buggers though. Took more embroidery thread than I had (I cheated and got creative with regular sewing thread when needed). Each took well...
