I have a queen size quilt here (I can't remember the exact measurements, but can provide if needed) that has become one of those "I am never going to finish this" projects. It is all pieced, the backing is ready, warm and natural batting is sandwiched with a backing (pieced in three pieces), and I...

For anyone like me who is using EQ5 or 6 on 'a wing and a prayer', I found this last night on the EQ website http://tinyurl.com/2zuwqm Its a Mystery Quilt that you draw yourself in EQ, and it really leads you by the hand. Apparently they did it some years ago, and have updated it for EQ 5 and...

I've been following the Indy 500 for years - at one time I lived close enough to the track I could hear the cars in May - however, this is the first I've heard of the 500 Quilt Lady. http://www.indy500.com/news/story.php?story_id=9027 -- Donna in Idaho

no need to worry! life did indeed take over LOL to save time I'll copy/paste what I said to the swappers group and then add some mo Goodness I never imagined that my life would take over quite so much as it had lately, what with a 2 week spring break, 2 magazine deadlines that had to be done by...

I made 60 attic window blocks, 8" each. They originally were supposed to be 81/4, but by the time I squared them up, they were 8". I'm just not sure what size sashing I should put between the blocks. I cut out a 2" strip and 2 1/2 strip and I'm still not sure. Is the sashing supposed to be a...

Hi all. I just realized yesterday that there is a big quilt show only an hour away from me starting this morning. I was wondering if any of our Alberta ladies or any passers-by were planning on being there? This is the Heritage Park Quilt Festival in Calgary, AB. I missed it last year, but the...

Do any of you know about fabric paints? What kind of paint would be permanent, washable and still leave fabric with a nice hand? Anybody???? I have looked at the Dharma Trading Co. website, but I'd rather hear from somebody I "know". Sunny

I 'won' a sewing machine on freecycle!!! I've tried for a couple and have finally gotten one. It is an older singer (not sure how old yet) and it apparently needs some work. I don't have it yet. Since it is in a cabinet and she didn't think it would come apart to fit a car trunk, I have to...

I am now posting using Google because I am trying to learn how to use my new laptop. My older laptop started to show signs of its immiment demise (just about 7 years old) so I bit the bullet and ordered a new one with all the bells and whistles I could afford since I keep them forever. This one...

Any suggestions on how I can stop my walking foot from slipping when I hit an especially bumpy seam? I'm putting the binding on a miniature butterfly quilt that is very thin. I'm finding it difficult to keep the walking foot on a good quarter inch seam. Every little bump of a seam sends it sliding...

Three nights ago we had a "Septic Event". Enough said. The results are that the floor of one downstairs bathroom and my sewing room are ruined. Carpet will have to be ripped out and burned. Yes, I lost a bit of fabric. Baskets on the floor and a couple of undisciplined stacks on the floor were...

I got an iPod for mothers day from my girls (and dh) and was wondering if there were any podcasts about quilting, quilts, quilters, etc besides the one that Alex Anderson has. I already subscribe to hers - it's pretty good! TIA - -- ~~~~~~~ Laurie G. in...

I did finally finish the Kimono quilt (it needed binding)... still needs a label. Since I got it back it back from the long arm quilter in Minnesota it has been hanging in my LQS as advertising for a class doing the paper piecing of the kimonos and the fusible applique of the Kanji...

Ages ago (okay January) I told you lovely people about the great craft room my hubby put together for me. I finally got around to taking pictures. They are on my new blog: http://pleiaden.blogspot.com The whole back story is there for yesterday's post, so you may just

I thought I would try this again. The other two tries were total failures, but I've got some odd scraps to use, so why not. Today's question--when cutting fabric bits for the block do I need to worry about straight of grain or not? Debra in VA See my quilts at...
